Original Item: Only One Available. This is an original 1965-dated Bulgarian RPG-7 launcher, built to the Soviet RPG-7 pattern and now completely deactivated and non-firing, accompanied by a partial Chinese Type 69-pattern RPG projectile body for display. The launcher retains its original bakelite heat shield and furniture, mechanical sights, carrying sling, second forward grip, and a largely matching set of major-component serial numbers. The tube has been permanently obstructed internally and cannot function as a live launcher.

The launcher has been deactivated to BATF specifications by welding a 1/2" steel bar across the bore. It also has had a bore-width hole drilled through the side underneath the bakelite housing, so it is not outwardly visible. Not Available For Export.

The original bakelite housing is still intact, as well as the Russian/Bulgarian marked trigger group, which reads:

6Г3
Nr. EA392
((10))
1965r

The ((10)) marking is the arsenal stamp for Factory 10 (Arsenal AD) in Kazanlak, Bulgaria. 6Г3 (6G3) is the official GRAU code for an RPG-7. EA392 is the serial number, and the same serial number can be seen on the front and rear sight housing and on the barrel itself, but the trigger and safety are both stamped with different serial numbers, so those have been switched out.

The trigger group is still able to cock and dry fire, and the safety works as well. The second grip is still intact as well, and the launcher still has the simple flip up sights, which are both intact and functional. There is moderate wear across the launcher with paint loss at the front of the barrel. The original sling is still attached and looks great.

The launcher comes with a partial Chinese Type 69 85mm RPG-7 Rocket, which is really just the body and part of the shaft. There is nothing attached at the tip, and the lower portion of the shaft is absent. As a result, it fits well in the front of the barrel. The rocket is marked:

40 (CHINESE)
(CHINESE) 94
69-63-89

The RPG-7 became one of the most widely distributed shoulder-fired anti-armor systems of the Cold War. Its Soviet design was produced or copied by numerous Warsaw Pact and allied countries, including Bulgaria and China. Bulgarian Factory 10 production and Chinese Type 69 manufacture illustrate the broad international spread of the basic RPG-7 pattern during the 1960s and 1970s.

This example is particularly noteworthy for its 1965 date, Bulgarian ((10)) Factory 10 marking, 6Г3 RPG-7 designation, largely matching EA392 serial-numbered major components, intact bakelite furniture, original sling and mechanical sights, and accompanying partial Chinese Type 69-pattern projectile. Together, the components make an unusually complete Cold War display illustrating both Bulgarian Warsaw Pact production and Chinese development of the RPG-7 family.
