SEMI AUTO RPD Build

[Kiwi]

With all the nonsence hopefully not coming our way I decided to finish up some of the easy builds I had slotted for this year. On this one I will be building a semi auto RPD.

I am jealous!

better hurry!

I actually stocked up on receivers at the beginning of the year. You know how it goes, buy the receiver and build it later. Problem is I am an impatient person and every time I look in the vault I see it (along with others) staring back at me so I couldn't wait any longer, and a good thing I did, these intact barrel kits are drying up. Good thing 100% semi receivers are still out there.

This I look forward to!!!

I will be using a wise lite semi receiver for this build. Project Guns also makes a 100% receiver as does DSA, if you can find one.

You will also need a semi conversion kit. MGS was selling these but most MFG's that make the receiver also sell this kit. It has the FCG and striker assembly.

First thing we need to do is strip down our parts kit and remove the receiver stub. After knocking out the cross pin you will need to make a cut along the underside of the receiver stub to release pressure off the barrel threads. Be careful and don't go too deep. you will hear a pop when it breaks.

This is what we will be working with

I wish you were closer, I have a kit I'd like to build also.

If you already have a receiver you could send it all to me to build. As long as the receiver is registered it wont matter what happens the 1st of the year.

Nice RPD kit - hope you get it built dude.

tag - keep the faith

Lets start with the semi auto mods. The lower needs to be fitted to the receiver to close this gap.

Here it is unmodified.
