We build these from Denix Parts, and we fix a few things the Factory guns miss....At RGC, our reputation for realism is well known and we make this gun better, and offer options you can 't get anywhere else.  This Replica AK-47 is full size and full weight.  It is an Excellent representation of the second model (Pre-AKM) AK-47 with a machined steel receiver.   We refinish the wood to make it look correct and vintage.  We enhance the finish of the metal which is a 100% correct phosphate black.  Then we polish the bolt for an added level of realism.  We also add a front sight post.  These guns do not have one installed at the factory, as it would be too difficult to mold in.  Yet Another US RGC Exclusive.  Other options you can have are a permanently mounted (GENUINE!) bayonet for REAL bayonet drill, and we can also add a bakelite pistol grip for a more modern look, and yet another level of realism.  Of course, we can also weather this gun to your specs.  Mild weathering to something that looks like it was picked up  on the Ho-Chi-Mihn trail.  You let us know.  We'll make it happen.  No Tax, Free Shipping
