    Dark bore means the bore is corroded and/or pitted, and not shiny, usually from going uncleaned after shooting, particularly if corrosive ammo was used. A lightly corroded bore is called frosted, meaning it's not dark enough to be called dark, but not shiny enough to be called shiny...

    Dark bores can sometimes be cleaned up by using things like electronic bore cleaners, Flitz, fire-lapping, or a combination of the above, but it depends a lot on how bad it is.

    Some guns shoot fine with dark bores, and others are bad enough to affect accuracy. It's not uncommon on older milsurps to find the last inch of the barrel pitted, which is the worst part, since corrosion around the crown has the biggest effect on accuracy.

    I'd always recommend getting a good bore when possible, particularly if the difference in price isn't that much.

    PRK is People's Republic of Kalifornia, a cynically humorous reference to the Socialist tendencies of the state, particularly in the gun control arena.

      Were you asking about PRK or RPK?

        Yugoslavian rifles do not have chrome bores, so get the ones with the shiny bores... pay that extra difference.

        PRK= People's Republic of Kalifornia
        RPK= Ruchnoi Pulemet Kalashnikova, or Kalshnikov Light Machinegun

            I guess I want an RPK then, I'm really looking for whatever a generic type MP5 is. Or a real one whitchever

            XENOPHOBE, do they have MP5 style lowers at the SJ gun exchange

              A RPK looks nothing like a MP5, RPK kits start about $399 for a Romanian kit and DCI has RPK style receivers about $175 IIRC

              Here is a RPK

                nice gun , definatly don't need it though.

                Is it an HK that I want then, Iv'e done searches but I can't figure out if I can get an MP5 or what it's closest (good quality) clone is?

                  Yes, there is one company that is doing MP5's, but you need to buy the complete rifle, and they strip it, ship you the parts, and the receiver to the FFL. It aint cheap, and I don't remember who the company was.

                    Special Weapons, Bobcat Weapons and Vector Arms are some of the companies that make MP-5 style rifles. Just the first two companies have models available in 9 mm.
