 Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 7:28 am Post subject: Romanian AK Foregrip |
 |
|
I am looking for a decent deal on a Romanian Vertical fore-grip.
I found a complete stock set for $12 online and ordered one.
The add said they were used and some were carved on.
I only wanted the foregrip and was foolish enough to think that the carving would be confined to the stock.
Was I ever wrong.
The one I recieved looks like someone wrote his girlfriends name on the forgrip with a drill.
Multiple deep holes carved out between.
Not deep enough to make it structurally unsound but so deep as to be beyond sanding out.
I called the company back, told them I was not complaining about the one I had received but I would like to get a hand select one.
I was told by the girl on the phone that was not possible.
I responded, "you mean there is no one who can take 2 minutes to pull one that is decent enough to refinish for extra money?"
This really surprised me as most companies offer hand select.
I guess Centerfire is so big they don't care about my money.
I don't want to pay the $40 to $50 for a new one.
I just want one that can be restored.
I suppose if all else fails I could order a couple more sets and hope one of them was in decent shape but then I would have spent the price of a new one.
In case you are a little fuzzy on what I am wanting here is a picture.

What about filling it in with wood putty or something similar, then you could refinish it from there.

It's on the second fill with a stainable filler.
I found a better one in WI for $15 I am now looking at this one as practice and if it turns out well since AK prices are in free fall perhaps I will get another AK so I have something to put it on.

I agree with STARS, you can't have too many, only too few.
