So, I just got my new SAR1.. and HATE the plastic grip.. anywhere I can get a wood one?

Also how hard is it to put a muzzle break on?  Mostly for looks.  And is there really any other stuff to put on it?  I don't much care for a scope or anything as I like iron sights much more.

If you buy a pistol grip from them, you might as well buy a whole new stock set to match. RotDorn has a formula to match the original Russian finish similar to AK-74s and AKMs of years past.

It's not that difficult to add a slant compensator to give it a real AKM look. Campybob, MRW or RotDorn would be of better assistance for detailed instructions.

The only things I could think of are these:

1. Check front sight for "canting".
2. Refinish rifle with black engine paint or that blueing you can buy in a bottle.
3. Install a new trigger from Power Custom.

I would definitely recommend a replacement rear aperture for the SAR-1, especially as you prefer iron sights (I do too.)

See this thread on "peep sights":

A replacement fire control group (FCG) would also be nice if you have a crappy trigger pull.  Red Star Arms is the best, followed by Gordon Tech, then FSE - I went with FSE as I don't want to put too much $$$ into this blaster, and it's perfectly fine for me.

If you get a new FCG, get the shepherd's hook replacement from Red Star, it'll save a lot of cussin'.
