Russian RPD Machinegun Barrel

You are considering a vintage Early Production Russian RPD Machinegun Barrel. It is in fantastic shape for its age with no damage to note — no deep cuts, gouges, rust pitting, or other deformities. The chrome-lined barrel is immaculate and doesn’t look to have been fired through  — it would shoot well. It includes its original bi-pod and front sight. The RPD went through 5 revisions of improvements throughout the years, and the 1st design had a female gas-fitting on the bottom of the barrel, like this one. It also has threads and is not hammered into place.
