New AK47 pics !

[AK shooter]

$45.00 is not bad for quality poly furniture. If color doesn't matter that will work.

If you get black it's Bulgarian, plum it's Russian.

Bulgaria made plum too. Edit: per AK_shooter all Bulgarian plum furniture is Russian made.

What are the ak brarrel threaded to? It looks like mine has a thread protector on it, I havent tride to take it off, but would like to get a brake for it. Maybe a good ole A2

Tapco makes an AR style brake for the AK.

I will be honest, I dont even know what a galil looks like. I acutally thought the front guard was the intrafuse with the rails, when I traded the farm for them I couldnt tell what they were because they were NIP. And I didnt ask, I just saw intrafuse and thought that was what I wanted. I do like them better than the wood, less wobble.

Intrafuse is a whole line of stuff. They do make the hidden rail model in dark earth.

Tapco Dark Earth railed AK hand guard

If you keep the open top Galil hand guard there is a gas tube available without the top guard brackets. It was made for the German Weiger. I think it looks better with the Galil hand guard.

Might as well get some cheap night sights if you get that tube.

I liked it the way it was, sorry.

I like the Wood Furniture Myself, a true AK is plain beautifull IMO.

I think I might put the wood back on and keep the grip.

Bulgaria never made plum, all surplus plum is Russian. Bulgaria bought their plum stock sets from Russia.

Good to know.

Now that would look gay. Unless you get the black SAW grip which would look decent. Consider spending the money on a new Ironwood laminate grip (scroll down on this link). Then you can bleach out the original wood and finish it all to match. They have one with a flat top and one with that uses and comes with a metal top cap.

Personally, I think it looks good with the new furniture. I'd live with it awhile before deciding to change it. Definitely get a brake for it. I'd get the AR style with the modern furniture. For classic wood the slant or 74 style brake looks best I think.

Whats up with the nails in the furniture?

It is metal "all thread" that is screwed in to the stocks for added strength. Most original communist stocks have them in different places.

Ahh, thanks! I got me some genuine commie wood!

If you're replacing hand guards and gas tubes... just go ahead and get an Ultimak rail as a gas tube replacement <3 my Ultimak
