Damn I want a PKM bad but damned if I can afford one. Anyone got any leads on decent priced PKM’s?
Like a full auto? I don’t think there are any full transferables out there. I think I saw a few semi-auto PK’s but can’t remember where.
The semis are going between $7k-$10k these days as well…double what they were new.
I would love to have the Polish(?) version, it’s 7.62 NATO. If I could afford one belt fed auto that would be it. It think we both missed the boat on affordable semi PKMs.
I have seen a few on Gunbroker but most are in the 5K range and nobody is selling kits anymore… I know VLTOR was doing kits and the building was by anotehr person.
I’d love a semi PKM. It will never happen up here in Canada tho. 
I gew up in Eastern Europe and as a conscript, the only firearm I really loved from all the com block weapons I got to shoot, was the PKM. It was light, reliable, hard hitting and more accurate than everything else in the unit.
We would load every second round in the belt to get it shoot single shot and it would outshoot everything.
I’d get one right now if it was legal.
I sold a beautiful Hungarian kit with 6k or so of ammo about 3 months before the receivers came out. I should have held out a little longer.
Damn you spooky… I will let you live this time… :]
The PKM is my dream gun. I had the opportunity to shoot a 150 round belt through a full auto one several years back. Make no mistake, it is a beast of a gun. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had shooting. But yeah, the cheapest I’ve ever seen them was at least $4000 for a Semi auto and that was a few years back. I’m inclined to think doing a kit build would be the way to go assuming you can snag a Vltor receiver for it.
I’ve always wanted to shoot a PKM.
I remember I had to test fire like a dozen new Yugo PK’s back in Baghdad that we had purchased. I slammed 50 round belts into them and like an assembly line I grabbed one after the other and let 'em rip.
It was summer time and I was wearing shorts sleeves. Just so happens the the steel cases were ejecting right into my forearm as I was shooting and when I was done it looked like I had been attacked by a dull razor blade.
Get a RPD, poor mans PKM.
Yeah but I bet you were like a kid in a candy store on Christmas while getting blown by the hottest girl of your wildest fantasies. Or at least I would have been.
One of the very few gun transactions I regret.
Company guns, free ammo and lovely Iraq. What’s not to love? No chicks though so the fantasy was incomplete.
I feel like that’s a joke of some sort.
My experience with the PKM:

Edit: is this working for y’all? Its looking weird on my phone
Negative I got nothing on this end.
UKM-2000 for 7.62x51 NATO in M13 link. Nice GPMG, not as good as PKM (slightly lower MTBF) but not bad at all. However there is much work to be done egronomy wise and in way to mount optics and accesoriess. There is proposed UKM-2013 upgrade in works, that look promising.
