What's the differance between the Ramanian AK's. I have noticed 2 diff. styles one with a forward pistol grip and one without. Mine both have the forward grip. I got both from Centerfire. TIA

The difference is, one has the forward grip, and one doesn't. That's about it.

Most of the military AK's in Romanian service and those shipped througout the world had the forward pistol grip.

There are some standard forend military AK's from Romania, but they aren't nearly as common as the forward pistol grip versions.

The semi-auto rifles made for sale here in the US all came in with standard handguards though.

Not a stupid question and welcome to the Forum.

Mechanically, they're identical.  The purpose of the forward grip was to minimize muzzle rise.  RTC
