Our Assessment: A modern Romanian-built AES 10B in 7.62×39, this Romarm/Cugir example wears its long 23.25″ barrel and three-piece wood furniture with a purposeful, utilitarian look—vented two-piece handguards, fixed wood buttstock with trap-door, and a checkered synthetic pistol grip combine traditional AK ergonomics with useful mounting rails on the receiver for optics. The receiver and trunnion stamping are crisp and correct for a 2019 build, and the stock shows only light compression and handling marks; overall the rifle presents as a well-kept, service-ready example that reads as a fine modern RPK pattern rifle for collectors or shooters who favor full-length barrels and a more stabilized sight radius.
Chambered in the classic 7.62×39 Soviet intermediate cartridge—developed after World War II for controllable automatic fire at typical combat ranges—this AES benefits from the cartridge’s proven reliability and the extra sight radius of the longer barrel, which aids consistency at distance. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and rates 9/10, the metal finish is strong (˜96% retained) and operational surfaces show only light wear; the action functions correctly. Included accessories (75-round drum and bipod) make this a ready, attention-getting package for range use or collection display. We are no longer offering layaway.
