AES10B Semi-Auto Rifle Background

These rifles are the semi-automatic only version of the Romanian RPK's issued to elite

paratrooper forces during the Communist Ceausescu Regime. This extremely rare variant is built

using the small cache of rifles found in a sealed building in the Transilvanian factory town of Cugir.

The rifles feature a side folding stock, integral carry handle and bipod. As you can imagine,

quantities are limited as only few hundred were ever produced.

should never handle any firearm until you become familiar with the safe handling,

loading, unloading and carrying procedures for that particular firearm, as well as the

rules for safe gun handling in general.

LEAD WARNING!

ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause

birth defects, reproductive harm and other serious injury. Have adequate ventilation

at all times when shooting. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.

Basics of Safe Gun Handling

1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

2. Firearms should be unloaded when not actually in use.

3. Don’t totally rely on your gun’s safety.

4. Be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

5. Use the correct ammunition for your firearm.

6. If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle with care.

7. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting and cleaning.

8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.

9. Don’t alter or modify your firearm and have your firearm(s) serviced regularly.
