So I'm guessing this had to do something with the military since there are select fire versions and in varying degrees of used.The ones with the red furniture are brand new Bulgarian Double Circle 10 Armory milled receiver AKs, manufactured 1993. I had 80 of them.

I ran a 120-man guard force in Afghanistan. Those were our weapons.

I figured as much seeing those 3rd pins!
Interestingly enough the one with "120" written on the stock seems to be a US import. Hard to read but on the side it does have what would normally be importers info and model # along with being a semi auto

Never seen palm swell grips on RPKs from any countryOK I'll play. Its a Polish PMKMS with a Texas Weapon System's Dog Leg Rail with rear peep, Krebs Custom safety selector, and a laminated grip from a Polish RPK. Bang bang.

Just the grip. The handguards are the standard Polish with the thin layered laminate. I wanted a grip to match and all of the wood AK grips have the thicker Russian laminate layers so I settled for the slightly different geography of a Polish RPK to get the thin layers.

Here's one not shown so far, a Norinco (China North Industries Corporation) imported by Clayco from Clay Center, KS for a short time in about the mid-1980's. What differentiates Norinco and PolyTech AK-47's from most other stamped metal AK-47's is the thickness of the metal at 1.5 mm versus 1.0 mm for most other AK-47's. "Clayco's" are differentiated from other Norinco AK-47's by their dark black-green bakelite-like furniture. I'm not really sure if it's true bakelite but it looks similar.
Very nice! Not often encountered. Do you have the under folder as well?

Dear santa......
Arik and greg, I think this box of 10, still in the packing grease, would fit nicely under a tree.

This is an evil thread. First, I give into my want for an under-folder. Yesterday, I bought a Russian made, RWC imported Saiga AK made at the Izhevsk Machinebuilding Plant. Supposedly the last of the Russian AK's allowed in after the U.S. trade sanctions against Russia went into effect. My favorite local small gun store offered me a fair price.
I really didn't want a "Kalashnikov" branded, made in South Florida AK.
Darn this thread...

I'll play. Here's a pic of my Micro Draco pistol.
I am in on this 
Intrac AK74
Arsenal SLR95 converted by Troy Sellers at InRange to 2 tang using all Bulgarian parts and then refinished. Still looking for a set of Bulgarian Blonde milled furniture. If anyone has a nice set, please contact me!!

Try sending the people at Blackheart International an e-mail.

They are the builders of my under-folder. I e-mailed them asking about ordering another set of Hungarian furniture, and they said it was available. That was a couple weeks ago. I didn't do it, so I deleted the e-mail.
Worth a try.

I took delivery of the Saiga imported by RWC.

Today:
The furniture looks cool in the stock photo, but not so much to me in person. Even after removing the goofy vertical grip and polymer side rails from the handguards, it doesn't feel right. The adapted M4 style buffer tube and stock don't feel right. The grip would be comfortable except for the finger grooves. I'm changing all the furniture. I'll post a pic when I'm done.

Japes. Wouls it have been better to just get a regular siaga and swap out thr furniture? Im wanting to get a "tactical" AK and trying to do price comparisons. Your AK does look a bit bulky and i dont like that buttstock as it is

Yes it would have.
I support my local small gun store. I actually wanted a DDI fixed stock that the AK Operators Union reviewed (YouTube). The owner of the small local gun store I support said "Why not just buy a Russian Saiga while you can get one?" I never thought of it. I thought they were all gone.
1. I now wanted a new manufacture AK-M, made in Russia, at the IZHMASH plant. By made in Russia, as much of it as the 922R compliance law allows.
2. U.S. trade sanctions against Russia block the import of the Russian made Saiga rifle. Whatever the details of the law are, the final allowable shipments are in.
The small LGS owner took me back into his desk, and we queried the distributors that give him good service. The last distributor had only 6 left, and only in the one configuration.
I bought one. My friend was with me. He was there to buy a Glock 43. He ended up buying one too.
One nice thing is that this isn't a conversion (?). The trigger group existed where it is now. It wasn't moved forward. That's the most I know. I'm new to AK's. I think it's because this one wasn't manufactured with a threaded barrel or has a muzzle device. Probably met some 922R compliance regulation.
A "tactical" AK was my intention too. The manufacturer of the furniture that came with my rifle is Command Arms International. Some of it marked made in Israel. I never heard of them before. Not only did it make the rifle look bulky, but it also doesn't feel good in the hand. I don't know how to put this into words without sounding completely irrational. Whatever polymer was used to make the furniture doesn't feel like polymer used on other firearms I own. It feels food container plasticky.
I'm replacing all the OEM furniture. I'll post a pic when it's done. While it's a bit disappointing not to have a threaded barrel to mount a muzzle device, I'm ok with it.

Here is my "tacticool" GP 1975. It is a lot more comfortable to shoot with the Rifle Dynamics stock adapter and the Ergo F93 stock.
Parts:
Guntec rail
Magpul RVG
Magpul MOE+ grip
Rifle Dynamics RDAK-M4 adapter
Ergo F93 Pro stock
Next up will be a new muzzle brake. I'm thinking either a Lantac Drakon or Spikes Dynacomp.

Here's a couple of mine:
This started life as a Yugo M85NP pistol. It has a faux suppressor pinned as a barrel extension (16.25 inches). Manticore Renegade hand guard, Primary Arms micro red-dot, CNC Warrior quick take-down pin and tubular folding stock. There's also a generic handgrip and a Tapco G2 trigger group installed. The magazine adapter (which came with the gun) takes AR-15 magazines; PMag 20 round is installed.
Next one is an Arsenal SLR-106. Muzzle brake is a CNC Warrior Compact, Galil style handguard from Tapco, Bushnell TRS-32 red-dot, Parabellum AKARS rail, CANIS M4 magazine adapter, Magpul AR grip, MFT Minimalist stock on a JMac adapter. After this picture was taken, I changed out the mount on the TRS-32 to a lower mount.
Both guns use the same magazines as my ARs. I decided to limit myself to just 5.56 and AR magazines to simplify my logistics. I'm definitely not an AK purist; I like to shoot and enjoy my guns.
