A semi-automatic only version of the classic Soviet Cold War era "Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova," or RPD, belt fed light machine gun chambered for the 7.62x39 mm intermediate cartridge. Assembled from a Kovrov Arsenal parts kit with a Historic Arms receiver, it is nearly identical to the automatic Russian version other than fire mode. It features a winged post front and fully adjustable notched tangent rear sights, and detachable barrel-mounted folding bipod (retaining pin absent). The top cover is marked "Arrow/No.KB-297P." "RPD SA/HISTORIC ARMS LLC/FRANKLIN GA" on the left side of the receiver. The furniture consists of a two piece laminate handguard, laminate buttstock, and two ribbed hardwood pistol grip panels. It includes the original shipping box, three non-disintegrating ammunition belts, and two extra ammunition drums in a cardboard box.

Very good, retaining 97% blue finish with scattered handling marks, edge wear, and spotting. An opening on the bottom rear left side of the receiver ahead of the buttstock mimics where the cleaning rod would be inserted, but is non functional. The laminate furniture also displays a moderate amount of handling marks. Mechanically very good.
