I'd hate to "taint" your project, but if you want more correctness someday -

I have yet to see laminated RPK furniture for a milled receiver, ever. All are for stamped. I assume you mean convert stamped furniture?

RPKs use 1000m sights, have yet to see one with 800m

the PDI Long outer barrel set is not as long as a real RPK barrel, says its only 550mm on Redwolf.

The KA AK-74 body will require plates to be attached to simulate the "bulges" on a RPK receiver for the larger trunnion. If you're building a post 1972 RPK, or an RPK-74, you will have to fill in the dimples above the mag well. You will also need to redo the rivets and weld spots on the front.
