Well, it finally got to my FFL today, to start its 10 day jail sentence... Went by to check it out... WOW! It's really nice!
It is not as worn as some I have seen pictures of. Just nice honest wear, and as expected, every nook and cranny has yellow sand imbedded in it!. The interior, on the other hand shows little wear. It has the usual sweet trigger pull of the Tapco G2 single hook FCG. It looks like it has the same wear as the rest of the weapon, so I am sure it was put into it when it was shipped to SOC. The top cover has a different serial number, but I think the rest is all matching, not that it really matters on an AK!
Overall, the finish is Very Good+, if not a little better. Good, honest looking wear, about like my M1Carbine. It still has faint rack numbers on the top handguard, too. It came with the cleaning rod and cleaning kit in the butstock. I have a Rommy leather sling and bayonet already, so that is good to go. I picked up some 10 rounders, but will run it "Featureless" with a kydex wrap on the grip and take the mag lock of to use the standard mag release, and my pre-2000 possessed 30 round magazines.
