Does anyone know where I can buy a set of RPD semi-auto fire control parts? Weaponeer and Military Gun Supply are out and Project Guns hasn't responded. I emailed Wiselite, but I'm not sure they are even in business now. Is there anybody else I can check, or does anyone here have a set for sale?

I have been pushing for Wiselite to manufacture these for several months, and today I was notified that they do not plan on even doing an inventory until the first of the year.
So WLA is not interested in making any of these kits for several more months minimum.

That is a downer, but found out receivers are the same situation.

Because there have been a number of posts talking about Wiselite Arms selling off parts in the last week or two, I thought it prudent to warn the membership about dealing with Wiselite arms or purchasing their parts.
We stopped offering products from Wiselite for the second time due to horrific and abusive customer support and more than one member here has reported significant problems dealing with them on the phone, and as a result stated they would never purchase from them again. A couple days later I found out what they were talking about, when one of their staff that appears to run the place wrote me an extremely derogatory email, stating I was wrong, when in fact I was correct. After I proved it in the following email things went downhill from there.
I emailed the owner "TONY" directly about the issue a number of times and to this days I have never received a response, which is no way to run a company, especially were they were offering the parts to the weaponeer community.
There have been far too many shipping errors from them, and in one case I had to intervene in one shipment when they shipped a machinegun receiver to a customer rather than a semi-auto receiver. I was the one that identified it was a machinegun based on questions from the customer due to the condition of the parts. The WLA "staff" was oblivious as to the issue, and it was me that saved them, and protected them from having a major legal problem.
Despite that, our members as well as I had more and more problems with the staff, and their projects slipping from weeks to 6 months, to never happening again. So it was the Weaponeer Members who were screwed in the end. Last I heard, they no longer had a C2/SOT FFL Licenses, and were dumping their remaining inventory of seconds (lesser quality parts) onto the market, especially Gunbroker.
Members can make up their minds if they wish to deal with a former Century Arms firearm manufacturer (they lost their contract with Century Arms) that is dumping its parts on the market that did not pass quality control for Century firearms.
I’m the owner and founder of Weaponeer.net, and I'm also a full time product tester and reviewer, and I cannot and WILL NOT recommend ANY products and/or services formerly from or currently from Wiselite Arms. I have not seen nor heard anything that would change my mind on that fact; in fact it's been entirely the opposite.
If you wish to take the chance and deal with them anyway, weaponeer.net will in no way be held responsible for their actions, products or services.

Looks like I missed the boat on some of these FCG buys, and WLA's price posted here is rediculous, not to mention what's posted above.
I originally was going to use an FAL FCG, and completely spaced on the fact the the recoil plunger rod would be totally in the way
So, I started looking at other striker fired FCG options. Looks like the Sterling FCG would work pretty well. It also looks like the paintball FCG design could be implemented here too.
I've slowly started working on my kit, but still haven't made up my mind on what I want to do in some areas either.

Maybe DSA? Not sure they'll sell parts, but the RPD carbine I purchased was excellent. Great customer service. They have military & CAC card holders discounts as well.

Damn.... I want some semi control group too. And they have receivers coming... I dont want to spend 2k on a DSA one. Is there a way to get blue print for these parts to manufacture them? Or maybe get them somewhere?
