    I never said anything about AK-47. The standard issue service rifle for Russian armed forces today has been AK-74 since, well, 1974 (in practice, since the beginning of the Soviet war in Afghanistan in 1979 - my dad served there early on, and they all had AK74s by then). It had all plastic furniture except for the stock (which was steel wireframe) since the very beginning, excepting some early pre-production prototypes that used wood. The latest modification, AK-74M, adopted in 1991, also adds a folding plastic stock.

    I won't bother with citations, since you can find it trivially by starting with the article for AK-74 in Wikipedia. Or, hell, just punch it into Google image search, and you'll get plenty of pics. Here's some choice examples, most of them from Crimea (you can tell these are Russian soldiers by their camo):

    Bulgarian Arsenal SLR-104FR is probably the most accurate civilian clone on the market.
