I think this was a guerrilla-type marketing campaign bull...it. I bought the cheapest "tactical" version. It was about $250 on sale. It's a GEN 1 The real wood furniture ones went for much more. The exterior plastic bits were no better than the cheapest CYMA. I swapped all of them for either asura dynamics replicas or real 1:1. For example, the handguard was of such poor quality, then it weighed more than aluminum one. The dust cover and gas tube are also of poor quality. The receiver made of heavy duty steel, but like I've said it's too heavy. On the positive note, I did very little mod work to fit the new handguard. Also, I found internals to be top notch. I'll finish the project in a couple of months and post pics here. At the tis point, I just need basic AK-74M with folding stock and solid internals that doesn't weigh a ton. I already have all the mods.
