Romanian AES-10B

Semi-automatic RPK variant from Romania, it features a couple of odd if not unique features. Some but not all AES-10B’s imported into the U.S have a carry handle that is attached via a welded ring onto the rear sight base. The bipod on the AES-10B is also different from Russian and Yugoslavian versions because the legs are adjustable in length. Lastly it is also one of the few (maybe only), RPK variant for the U.S market that had two different barrel profiles. The AES-10 was an earlier model that used a thing pencil-style barrel, whereas the AES-10B is a regular heavy barrel. (GRH)
