Source for Romanian RPK Barrels ?

[P.W.]

So I've had the itch to build myself an RPK and am thinking of picking up a Parts kit and a Receiver since NoDak are producing the Romy RPK ones again. However the big issue is finding a usable barrel, Anyone out there know of any sites or sources that have Romy RPK barrels or US Made ones available ?

March is approximately when Green Mountain will have them again. They're making another run of them in Feb.

Lets hope they do a better job on the journal sizing this time around.

I heard about the Green Mountain Romy RPK barrel issues, that's why I bought Yugo RPK kits but I have a spare Yugo barrel and a mind to tinker so I bought a Romy kit and a Yugo M76 handguard retainer and I'm going to make it work.

It will require a few cuts on a lathe but it will work, the Yugo handguard retainer takes out the biggest obstacle letting you leave the barrel fins. Handguards are an issue but I think I'll be able to carve something up.

Any way, if you don't want to wait, there is a way to build on an available barrel.
