That one they took a Yugoslav M72 RPK parts kit and mated up with a barrel Green mountain made that is essentially a 7" shorter version of their M72 pattern RPK Yugo barrel. Theyre good barrels. Better than the original Yugo stuff. Then they made a short barrel RPK out of the mess. Basically a short version of an RPK using RPK wood and a heavy barrel. There never was a M72B1 but its still a cool thing. I understand they need a bit of clean up work as they used Yugo demilled parts kits which tended to be cosmoline heavy . A few years ago they were blowing those kits out at under $50 on the wholesale side but finding one under $500 is tough these days and thats without a barrel. That RPK clone I had in this picture was from a complete virgin never assembled parts kit and that set was under $300 15 years ago. You'd give $1500 for that parts set these days if you could even find one.
Forget about finding those fat M76 grips. I love them dearly. I have one source in the Czech republic. Theyre such a pain to order from though. No one else in the world has them.
In any case that 16" RPK setup is pretty cool. Heavy as all getup but the price is OK on todays market .
