SOLD - Rare SMG DPM Rifle Grouping With RP46 Belt-Fed Attachment

Description

1/13/23 - This is a very cool and rare SMG DPM rifle grouping with RP46 belt-fed attachment and heavy barrel option. Manufactured as a semi-automatic version of the RP-46 light machine gun using new manufacture and surplus parts. The RP-46 is a post-World War II derivative of the DP family of machine guns, and this one has the belt feed system mounted as an additional upgrade, but can also still take the DP's instantly recognizable "dinner plate" magazine. These machine guns were used by countries across the eastern bloc up until the PK family of machine guns was released. This rifle features a conical flash hider, post front and elevation adjustable rear sights, an integral bipod mounted to the heat shield, belt feed system attached via the magazine latch, serrated pistol grip, three pan magazines and the carry case for the pan mags, belt loader, tool kit, manual, sling and several belts. The belt feed attachment is a $1700 upgrade alone, and the belt loader is $300+. Our consignor bought this rifle new and used it lightly, but said it was super fun to shoot and that both the pan mag and the belts ran very well through it. SMG no longer makes this model, so their values have gone up and they are becoming much harder to find.
