Default Who has red/brown US pistol grips

imarangemaster · 11-05-2009, 04:49 PM

I am going retro with my restored Saiga. I am ordering a Bulgarian AK74 wood furniture set to replace the KVAR (which I will sell). With the US brake, 3 piece Tapco FCG, and KVar US magazine followers I am one 922 short. I would like to find a red/brown com-block style US made pistol grip. I have an original Russian bakelite one, and thought of doing the gas pistol instead. I think that will be a pain in the butt, though, so I will try the US made grip idea first. I guess I could use a K-Var plum. Anyone know who has US made red/brown?

The only ones I am seeing are Romanian... That said, the Plum grips, not sure if you have one or not, are rather brown but not as light as the look I think you are going for.

I would go with a black pistol grip if you cant find a US made red. ALOT of stock com-block AK's have black pistol grips with wood stock/forend.

Think he kind of wants the Bulgarian/Russian AK-74 look.

I think only the Romanian and Yugoslavian AK's have black pistol grips.

Some bulgys have black pistol grips

I may just keep the KVar black until I replace a piston. I really like my Russian bakelite grip!

Make sure to follow-up with a pic when you get it.

Don't know who made it. On the left side at the top it has "A USA" on it. Not K-Var, I don't think.

Arsenal marks theirs on the top, where it mates with the receiver, with their stylized "A", if that is the mark.
