Item Gone: FS/FT Price Drop! SAR-1 ROMANIAN AK-47 all original with EXTRAS

[ToyotaDude22]

The original furniture is solid red oak with a beautiful but rough "cinnamon" red stain. That looks to be WASR laminated furniture.

I will continue to look into that but I believe you may be mistaken. There are certainly a few that came with a darker furniture set but I have read that those are less common than this color. This furniture set is certainly NOT laminate. It is solid wood and looks to be very characteristic of other SAR-1s that I have seen (and handled). Maybe someone else will chime in, but I am confident that this is the original furniture. Also, I was told it was the original furniture by the gentleman I got it from here on ODT and he has a great reputation with 100% feedback, so I believe he is credible.

I believe the upper gas tube guard is original Sar wood. The stock and lower handguard look to be newer laminate. Here is a pic of original Sar hardwood furniture that came off mine. Hope this is helpful and provides some clarification. I should add mine was an early import and Romania made the switch to laminate from hardwood. I have also seen Sar's with furniture like yours so either style would be "correct" just different.

I will contact the original owner and get his take. I dont believe the handguard or stock to be laminate. In fact, I would be incredibly surprised. But I will check. It is, however, possible that they were restained at some point?

Thanks for the information either way, brother!

This is one of 5 SAR-1s that I've collected over the years. Some are a slightly darker red, but all are roughly the same wood and stain.

I think I found them!!

Do these look correct?

I had a SAR 1 with the same laminated furniture that I bought new. They were sold with both the laminated and non-laminated "stained furniture". The laminated depicted in the photo was not as common but it was supplied with some of the guns, not limited to the WASR. The only thing that looks like its not original is the red pistol grip. All original SAR 1 plastic grips that I've seen were black.

The Century made black grip is a compliance part.

Yes. I swapped mine out with a US made compliant red/brown from KVAR.
