Hungarians are blonde!

I had no idea they are supposed to be blonde. If that's the way it's supposed to be, then I'm not going to mess with it. I don't like screwing with something that is correct out of the box.

Over the years, I've developed a friendship with the proprietor of the LGS. He did some digging into DDI via a contact at Circle10. The DDI AK-47U's quality is dependent on whether or not old Waffen Werks parts were used or not. When you get a good one, it's good. When one is off, it's way off. He pulled out his own personal Blackheart from the safe for me to inspect. While he'd order me whatever I wanted, he highly recommended the Blackheart from first-hand experience. I put some trust and faith in my friend.

Is it wrong that I'm now thinking of what AK-47 to buy next? Now that an under-folder is on the way in, I want a fixed stock model.

Yes those specific Hungarians are blonde. There is the AMD which is Black although certain variations were blonde as well.

You can change it to whatever you want

Nope not wrong as long as you don't expect to bench it and get laser like precision. as long as you are good with battlefield accuracy.

I'm not a fan of underfolders. Feels weird, but some people like them. The best is Russian 100 series folder. It's a fixed style polymer stock that folds. The worst are probably the Hungarian AMD and Romanian/Polish/E. German wire folders. While they feel better then a underfolder in your shoulder the cheek weld is none existent

Finally, here it is.

Build quality is very nice, no boogered rivets. My only disappointment is with the furniture. The two previous examples I saw at my LGS had perfect furniture. Bad luck of the draw for me. The pictures make it look better than it is. The handguards have a gouge on the side you can't see. The grip is chipped at the trigger guard as seen in the pic. I ordered a set of unfinished handguards and a bakelite grip. I'll try my hand at finishing the handguards.
 
I have the pre-ban Hungarian version, the FEG SA-85M. Looks exactly the same - underfolder and everything.
 
I've only got one, an early AK-47/S underfolder imported by GLNIC in the late 1980's. The company was based in California, but owned by the People's Liberation Army of China. It's my understanding that these are basically pre-Norinco's. The teak grip and handguard actually match nicely. You can tell that they expended a lot of effort on their import markings! :rolleyes:

I'm more of an AR guy, but like the AKs, as well. Here's one of Zastava's finest, it's an awesome gun...
