I don't know. I'd suggest either hitting the next gun show, or going to a gun store that deals in a bunch of military surplus type rifles and has alot of milsurp parts. Maybe that will help you out.

I guess I'll wait for a gun show cuz all my shops around here don't carry this stuff. I found a couple online, but don't wanna risk it not being compatible. Thanks

You can clean them? I usually just push a FMJ round after about 500 or so lead rounds :biggrinjester:

I would have to say they are not universal, The RPK and the NHM-91 probably are longer. I will have to check and see if their is a diffrence when I get off my rearend today.
