Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of parts does Apex Gun Parts specialize in?

Apex Gun Parts primarily specializes in military surplus firearms and parts, with a strong focus on items from Eastern European and former communist countries. They offer a wide range of components, including machine gun kits, rifle parts, and accessories, often featuring rare and collectible items.

What makes certain surplus parts a good deal according to Apex Gun Parts?

According to Apex Gun Parts, surplus items acquired in quantity often present a good opportunity because their prices reflect availability rather than their true value. As these items become scarce, their market value tends to increase significantly, making current purchases a potential investment.

What are some unique features of the DTM tank machine gun kit?

The DTM kit, a variant of the Russian DP machine gun for vehicles, includes a collapsing buttstock for maneuverability, a specialized bipod with a socket bearing for rotation, and raised sights to accommodate a larger 63-round drum magazine. It lacks a barrel shroud, as it wasn't necessary for vehicle mounting.

Why are carved Yugoslavian AK handguards significant?

Carved Yugoslavian AK handguards are significant because the carvings often reflect the cultural and religious identities of the individuals who owned them, such as Islamic symbols like the crescent moon and star, or Christian symbols like the cross. This adds a unique historical and personal dimension to the collectible parts.
