RPK?

[Recon-01]

I'm thinking about getting an RPK. I've been reading up on two of them but not sure which one to get. They run around the same price. Would like a little input from fellow Calgunners.
These are the ones I'm interested in.
-M64 RPK
-AES 10B RPK

This is relevant to my interests as well. subbed

Can't beat that ~$500 price for the Romanian.

The M64 is a Century build on a demilled kit. The receiver and the barrel are US made and the kit is assembled here in the states.

The AES-10B is entirely made in Romania. I have no idea of what the quality of the M64 is, but I do have a AES-10B. Mine is a great shooter and has run flawlessly on any magazine that I use.

They are a bit heavier than a standard AK due to the thicker receiver and the longer/heavier barrel. I am really glad that I decided to spring for one even though I bought before the prices came down. I understand that PSA Is out of the $500 ones, but J&G still has them for $579. Even for the difference in price, they are still a killer deal.

Thank you for the input. Beautiful rifle.
