I am considering the purchase of a semi automatic, RPK-type weapon, for use as a perimeter defense weapon.
I have zero experience with the platform, so I am seeking some advice because I don't know what makes a "good" RPK. All of the ones that I have looked at seem to all feature long, heavier barrels and integral bipods, and I cannot tell the difference between the brands.
Do RPKs accept standard AK furniture, like stocks and grips, or are they specific to the model?
Is the milled receiver preferred over the stamped receiver?
My main stipulation would be that it must feature a receiver side mount, for adding an Aimpoint above the top cover, but other than that, I am open to any suggestions or guidance.
