Is This Worth $430? (LCT RPK Airsoft LMG Review)

[@king124kine]

I’ve ran this gun at 7 MSW events. Holding the trigger down for minuets at a time. It has never failed me. I 100% recommend this to anyone as a great out the box gun!

[@williamvegas7209]

The one with the mosfet or this one.

[@KiboraVT]

I have the RPK-74NM from LCT and its a workhorse. Had it for 4 years now, it was my first LMG and it has never let me down. Absolutely love this gun

[@panzerofthelake2904]

Finally a review. I understand branching out, but THIS is the stuff I subscribed for, Reviews

[@Chyrosran22]

I've got the RPK-16 model, it's a beautiful, big, brutal beast of a gun :D . Great review!

[@USAirsoft]

Thanks for watching! The RPK16 is a really awesome piece.

[@urmoderngamr]

ahhh yes, the gun that got me into being a dedicated machine gunner for my airsoft role. This RPK has been arguebly one of the best AK's in airsoft i ever used. Its very much the reason i got into the PKM and Support gunning as a whole. For someone who actually values realistic weight for both training and for the realism factor i enjoy every aspect of it. I ended up selling it due to moving but ive always regreted it and really want to pick up another one (and maybe daytona it)

[@seanbutterworth6595]

I love my LCT, I got it way cheaper at my local field's store, but even at 400+ I'd say it was worth the money. The only gripe I ever had about it was that it was so unbelievably unbalanced. So much of the weight sat towards the front of the gun, and adding weights to the back would just make an already awkward to carry gun uncomfortable in a different way. But the weird weight wasn't why I stopped using it. It has a bipod for a reason, after all. It was because my field changed their full auto rules to only internationally recognized lmg's *with feed trays* because some players were unaware of some minutiae in what makes an lmg such. (Not their fault they didn't know, but it was easier to change the rules than to explain it all the time.) I wasn't gonna carry around all that weight just to fire semi auto. Thus, it became a gorgeous wall hanger

OMG finally !!! i just looked a couple of months on your Channel for exactly this Video. THX!!!!!!!!!

[@gordonbelfort7176]

[@arcticfox7.62]

I love the RPK!!! If by any chance you can make a review of the RPK-16, that would be delightful, as there are very few videos about it. Great review for a great gun.

[@SAVAGEMELO34]

I have the 16 and the 74MN and i probably will buy RPKS in the future. I love the platform and the lct quality. I’m just sad because i never got an rpk dog tag for my 74MN, frickin evike dude.

[@Milsurp-Gremlin]

I lost both of my buttplate screws, replaced them then rewired mine to stick the battery under the dust cover. I guess you must have gotten an older generation one too, because mine came with a quick change spring... and I had to file the trigger contact carriage because it had a rough cast and would stick.

[@USAirsoft]

Smart man

[@GrmpyPnts]

i baptize this gun as... "thank god i didint skip arm and leg day"

[@bb-ballistics1706]

I really don't think they are heavy. Especially for a lmg role

[@TheFlowersOfNaivety]

I had have to remove the magazine follower extensions in my magazines to ensure my LCT AK-105 feeds correctly.

[@saraverlind]

8lbs, 8lbs! That's so light. Sometimes I forget how light airsoft replicas are but even as someone with a 5lb replica myself it's still very light. I know that with how long it is the weight is more out there.

[@jacp5628]

I like the club stock battery placement solely because my LCT RPK has a heavy mock bolt that wouldn't fit the battery. Gives it a bit more realism, it's a nice addition.

[@angrylil3lf]

This is a random idea that would be difficult for a manufacturer to make but the DP-28 aka “The Dinnerplate”. I’m a nerd/sucker for Soviet era firearms/replicas

[@its_VAFELZ]

Plus, u can also throw a Daytona recoil kit inside the LCT RPKs to get that nice recoil

[@Mathematicus671]

What would your impression be on the RPK-16 had it been the longer barrel variant instead of the short barrel variant we have now? I'm digging my RPK-16, though, but I still have much respect for the OG RPK.

[@falloutpropguy]

One of my first nicer or soft guns was a cyma rpk that had a new tight bore pop-up piston we played at this outdoor field that was semi Close Quarters and pretty much anyone I could see on the field I was able to hit even when I was out of range for them I miss Kill Zone in Southern California

[@shovelchop81bikeralex52]

I swapped out the buttstock screws for rubber bungs that hold it on great yet make super easy to remove.

[@botodin6979]

Where did you get them?

[@shovelchop81bikeralex52]

@@botodin6979 Just something I found in my parts boxes, go to a hardware shop and use your imagination.

[@ghostlikecow4282]

i thought the title said RPD not RPK and i was honestly disappointed, BUT, the RPK is a lot more easy to get people onto for that at both the price and the lighter weight

[@Jracer12]

As a E&L Ak owner I can fully agree with the mag problems. My mags don’t feed the last bb. They might as well be called 119 bb mags

[@rema8669]

I use Arcturus mags for my E&L and they fit perfectly, feed amazing and shoot even the last BB out of magazine

[@Jracer12]

@@rema8669 I’ll keep that in mind, thanks

[@LinkRBA]

Bro! RPK have different sights then AK. RPK sight have horizontal elevetion and CYMA do right sights. Also real RPK have heavy barrel and more fat handguard. If you want more real RPK you need stuff from Vepr rifles (civil guns AK-type based on RPK)

[@bleeve5450]

for the rear sight i think it was just bad reference or sth cuz they DO make those sights for the rpd so it would have been weird if they decided not to use it when they already make it

[@basiclymarcy]

I bought the $450 LCT RPKs74n like 3 weeks ago for my msw event coming up!

[@cod3368]

ive got the rpk74mn(black polymer furniture). always turns heads in games and fields, but its a hassle to use if the field doesnt allow for full auto, cause then its just a big and clunky ak when i could just use a regular ak. my only gripe is the bipod. out the box it wobbled a lot, and swung around the barrel. i put some black electric tape over it so its fine now but i wish it was a little sturdier or to the barrel somehow. Besides that i really do like it. If you plan on buying it buy a decent sling, as just rawdogging it in your arms all day will not be fun.

[@sash762]

Do the newer versions have quick spring change or an aluminium nozzle? The gearbox seems extremely old school...

[@Elite_R]

This makes me want a rock and ak even more but I gonna change the rear sight and put a optic mount on just for when I find one a old Soviet optic anyway I think you should do a review on a m16a1 I don't know if you did one but we gotta get an American cold war gun

[@MagnustheJust]

I am also an RPK lover, but mine is a CYMA I purchased 'used & abused'... I put a Gate Nano mosfet in it, which is just a power regulator. I have had it for 6 years now, and it has given me zero issues.

[@bb-ballistics1706]

I was considering the cyma rpk but people say the butt stock comes off. Bipod breaks and too many parts are pot metal. Is this true?

[@BloPsy__]

@@bb-ballistics1706 Yes there are many pot metal parts. I prefer full steel replicas, especially when it comes to RPK and the long barrel it has.

[@bb-ballistics1706]

@@BloPsy__ i ordered a lct rpk this a few hours after I made my comment. Very excited for it to arrive

[@BloPsy__]

@@bb-ballistics1706 I think you will be impressed. Full steel externals are just so good. I wish E&L made RPKs too.

@@BloPsy__ I went to a guys house who I've known on and off for a while. Little did I know he had built up a collection of over 70 guns 😂 I held a few LCTs and instantly got a taste for the finer aegs in life. And I'm a huge cyma fan boy but it's not even close.

[@andrewblackmore3150]

I own the RPKS74 and when I first got it, disappointing sums it up. For a very expensive gun the range and accuracy sucked. It took a fair amount of upgrades to make it usable.

[@gnarlez]

I love my lct rpk. I got the new one with a gate aster and a deens plug. My only complaints are no wood grip, it's missing the proper rear sight, and the battery compartment sucks to deal with.

[@phildavis3593]

Very nice Pfp

[@sogerc1]

The LCT G3 was my 2nd worse OOTB gun ever (beaten by the GHK AK), still not perfect because you can't shim it perfectly, the sector gear is too tight even with no shims on it. However the basic electronics was not something I griped about, most people (incl. me) throw their favorite upgrades in the gun anyway. The shitty midcaps can be fixed with upgrade M4 midcap springs, it's a pain in the ass to change them though. The air seal was crappy, needed a longer nozzle. And the selector plate was out of spec, I had no safe position.

[@SeriusChevy]

I dont play airsoft but I have owned one of these replicas for years now. In fact think I paid $200 for it at the time. and after a hop up, and lipo upgrade and some new furniture on it doesn't look quite the same anymore. But after years if using and abusing she still looks and runs as fine as aged whine 🔥

[@xlps44splx]

Imagine getting mowed down with an HPA-ed LTC RPK like grass

[@wote2760]

i have an lct rpk-16. it worked ok, but all of a sudden it works find on full auto but on semi it just clicks and not shoot. bummed out since it is expensive and moved on to arcturus and cyma.

[@slerpn]

Tldr good externals mid internals

[@aaronnadell1011]

Are you planning to go to rev ?

[@matthewschlessman9786]

1.7j on semi but drops to 1.5j on auto? 250ft with .28g at that energy is kinda sus, you have a laser rangefinder with you during these tests or just guessing the range?

[@Clownairsoft]

Is the cyma rpk still worth it?

[@dishs0apcustoms449]

The problem with this gun is that the barrel is too long for the cylinder so you are not getting proper air volume.

It is not, this replica doesn’t come with a mosfet and you would eventually ruin your trigger contacts with an 11.1 lipo however 7.4s will be fine.

Scott, is the LCT worth the extra cash compared to the Cyma version? Thanks!

[@USAirsoft]

I’ve handled the CYMA a lot of the years and the LCT just felt so much better. It’s not the most realistic thing out there as that’s not what LCT focuses on but it’s a tough contender.

[@slerpn]

If you care about externals then yes. The cyma cm052 RPK is a good option for it's price and can be found on taiwangun for cheap. I would recommend upgrading the internals on both rifles tho.

[@todddavis9938]

Thanks for the reply! We are going to look at one at Evike soon. Ask LCT to make an SKS DMR type platform, that would be epic!

It's a lot of fun but definitely overrated. For the price, LCT could do a lot better - neodymium motor, non-wobbly sights, a bipod that actually stays in place, etc...

[@m4j0r3x]

for triple the price you can get a semi auto rpk but only in semi auto, however they pack quite a punch that would make sure your opponents react strongly to their hit

Brother bought RPK-16 for himself, very solid but everything is extremely stiff and LCT messed the serial number print badly.

[@Insomnia__live]

Wait whats the difference between RPK and RPD

[@BisforBlyat]

Real gun wise the RPD is belt fed with an open bolt flapper lock mechanism. The RPK is essentially just a beefed up AKM with a ticker trunnion, longer/thicker barrel and a bipod. For both airsoft versions the RPK uses standard AK internals, and can use any AK mags (as long as the mags you’re using fit and feed), while the LCT RPD uses proprietary internal parts, and can only use the drum for ammo.
