DSA's Mini-RPD at the Range
🕑 Added 2024-02-10 12:00:03 +0000 UTCToday I am at the range with one of DSA's mini-RPDs. The RPD is a nearly 80-year-old design (doesn't that make you feel old!) and a really good candidate for modernization. DSA made a whole bunch of improvements - new dual-spring recoil system, fluted barrel, solidly fitted handguard with a nice repeatable optics mount, and adapters to use SAW belt bags. I will be doing a short series on the whole RPD modernization program at DSA, but here's a short range teaser until that is ready...

Had a chance to buy one of these for $3k years ago but chickened out - for me the DSA modernized RPD is "the one that got away" - hope to see much more about that little bad boy in the future!

RPDs are under-rated LMGs IMO
