PKM copy?[edit]

Isn't this a PKM copy? Maybe it should be merged with the PK machine gun article.--Mircea87 (talk) 18:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Production Name[edit]

Hello, I was wondering what the actual name for this gun is. I know its production name isn't "Cugir Machine Gun" If anyone caould respond, that would be great, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.133.211 (talk) 03:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In Romanian: "Mitraliera de companie, calibru 7,62mm, model 1966". Export designation is "Machine gun, md. 66" (Romarm website). It's a licensed built PKM machine gun, I have references for that.--Mircea87 (talk) 08:19, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
