I just bought a yugo rpk kit to assemble. It didn't come with the cleaning rod and I need one to hold the bipod up. Anyone know where I can find one? Been looking on the net but can't find one. Thanks.
Yup, I just found this out on my M72 build. It passes through the bipod mount on the barrel, but it doesn't touch the mount at all. The FSB limits the rotation of the bipod mount so there's no contact with the cleaning rod. It is very close though.
I had to get a die custom made for thies.
I was shocked how many differant stly and length rods their actualy is.
I had some rods still around but cant find them rite now HAHA
I'm in the same boat as Kansasrebel, i.e., I need a couple of yugo RPK cleaning rods to "complete" my builds. And, it looks like the concensus here is that nobody has yugo RPK rods. We'll need to go the Romy rod route and shorten and thread these.
Other options short of 'do without' ?
Thanks, and (oh yeah) this gave me another chance to post bringing me closer to emancipation.
Thanks Upbrakeman. I called Apex and they said they did not have any. They did mention they were getting more RPK parts in overthe next four weeks. THe woman I spoke with did not elaborate on what was being added.
Hotbarrel - We need help ! The world is in need of more Yugo RPK cleaning rods. None of these kits Centrerfire is selling have the rods..none...People that have bought from you in the past rave about the quality.... What say you ? :notworthy
I still hae the die I had custom ground so I am happy to make you guys rods. I will need an estimate of how many rods to make 6, 8, 10. this way I can order the proper amount of material. also please remember it will be a couple weeks at very best in order to get material and time.
SO if you can get a list togeather I will do my best for you.

As luck would have it, I was digging through an old pile of stuff and lo and behold! A yugo rpk cleaning rod that I had bought years ago fell out. I think I need to buy a lottery ticket!
Hotbarrel - I'd buy four. Also, I bet if you posted on AK Files you pick up a number of orders. If it would help I'd be willing to post over there to gauge interest.
Thanks !
OK guys I will get some material and start a few. I am thinking maby 10 or a dozen
sorry for delay in responce but I have been working a lot. as long as their is not a big rush I will be happy to make them, I will order material monday
hello guys I am still here believe it or not. just not very often.
I wated to see how much intrest their realy would be. I am sitll calling this a goand woring on material now,
thanks for hanging in their HB
I'll be needing 3 yugo RPK, 1 romy RPK rods. Not in a hurry, got to re-brake the prime mover 77 ford 250 now that a taste of spring is clearing the snow off the driveway work space.
Ok guys I know this has been slow starting BUT I will be able to ship starting next week.
If you do want a yugo rod or rods please PM me, now, and I will send you my address for the order. If you can not PM me just post in here and I will PM you or send you an email whatever works best for you.
yes I do still have the measurements for the rommy rod too.
price last is $22 delivered for one, I am happy to discount multiple rod orders because I can easy fit more than one rod in the same shipping tube.
as allways thanks for reading HB
NOT one PM...... anyone realy intrested? someone post in what is up, did a vendor get these in stock someware?? at lease let me know before I make a bunch that nobody wants.... I do not even have an RPK
A friend of mine is getting an M72 kit this week I'll let him know about these if he needs one. If so, I may just go ahead and get one for my M72 as well and then put my Romy RPK rod up for sale rather than cutting and rewelding it.
