SS:
I have a K-VAR plum STOCK SET on my SAR-2. It is VERY dark purple and in some photos looks black. In person is is nice, not gay purple as I dreaded. I don't know how to post a pic although I have a couple in my PC. IM mail me and I will email a pic or two to you. I thought the black set made the rifles look too plain, and the green is okay, but I have an AR15 in OD green furniture already. I had to do some "fitting" to make my butt stock fit right, but it fits right now. Oh yeah, it is the 1.25" longer size and fits me better than the original IMHO. |

My Krebs AK74M pictures below has original Russian plum set on it. The k-var sets are close in color. It is a dark marron/black. Lighting during the taking of pictures can make them look all sorts of shades. The Plum was the color used for AK74 during the 80's. Currently the Russians use black furmiture for all their ak series.

I've got the K-var plum also, and on the same rifle Blazeone just displayed. I think it's quite nice, and it really isn't purple despite what some pictures show.

I've got the warsaw pact length kvar plum plastic on my wasr10. Fit just fine, no mod needed.
I put black kvar plastic on my maadi, and had to do some severe modding. Due to manufactureing differences and shape of reciever(my maadi is beat to hell), your miles may very. Blaze: what country of origin sling is that? |

Blaze -- I'm hoping to move to Texas in the not-too-distant future, and I've got a few questions for ya:
Is a Krebs AK really worth the $1k for an AK? I'm assuming they're milled receivers, although I didn't really see it mentioned on their site. Where did you get the original russian plumb stock (as opposed to the k-var)? Are they still available? Better yet, where did you find the matching plumb mag? Thanks in advance! |

Not to jump in the middle of this conversation but there's a Kreb's gun for sale on subguns.com for $850. |

The Krebs AK74 starts with ripping a Sagia AK 7.62 apart to use only the receiver. Then the receiver undergoes considerable modification. A new Bulgarian AK74 parts kit is then added. And finally Krebs takes much care in the polishing of the moving parts and overall assy.
Are they worth it? I believe so, it's the only game in town if you want a Russian receiver in the 5.45 cal. The Russain plum stocks come up for sale every now and then. The pistol grip and hand guards can be from from Andyarts on eBay or Gunbroker. The Russian plum mags are also for sale now and then. Email me and I can hook you up. The gun that is on subgun.com for sale is not an Kreb's AK74 it is a M3 which is based on the 7.62 round. |

I like my plum stock. When ever someone sees it, they just stare and finally ask me why the hell I put a girls stock on my rifle.
Most recently it was from a friend who "knows everything there is to know about AKs" It is a great conversation starter, and once you let someone look at it, they want one. |

Here ya go:
Dumby says "why did you put the girly plum stock on your ak?" Knowledgeable ak owner answers "because it matches the black and purple your eye is going to be". |
