SLR Rifleworks posted up this photo to reminisce a build they did many years ago.
Ha! Saw a pic tonight that reminded me of this PPS43 thing I “built” years ago before I was in the business. Was a fun little open bolt MG with a silly fast cycle rate. Ran great for a couple years and then sorta imploded. I think @slrrifleworks_alfredo turned it into a lamp. 😂 Shortened barrel/shroud, AR castle nut/buffer tube, Picatinny RD mount and AK grip nut. Amazing what idle hands, some welding rod, a grinder and a hacksaw can do. The parts kit was about $60 I think. LoL
I like a touch of modern accessories on older guns. Would you rock this?

I love it. That thing is sexy. I'm not crazy about the Magpul stock, though. I would have gone with an AK-style underfolder or side folder.
I have 2 of the PPS-43's pistols and a kit in 7.62×25mm Tokarev when they were dirt cheap for $300 and 7000 round of cheap ammo too. Got as Colefire Pistol (Sterling) too in same Caliber. Never have shot them. Not sure why I bought them.
