Looks decent. Not crazy about the wood quality of the handguards... hope mine will look nicer or I'll have to dye it commie red (might do that regardless).
Recreating a "Tula" red shellac finish would be cool.
I had some surplus beat up wood on my old VZ58 and it was pretty awesome.

Need the mount!!!!
Most of the red 81SE had funcked up wood. I liked the colour better though and I might just change it. As to the discussion about side folder or underfolder. I had Mini 14's with both and I never liked the side folder though it was the original design just like the type 81. I don't have my rifle yet, so we have to see how she feels.
I plan to make 3d prints for all the furniture, pistol grip will probably come second since I don't think it will be too hard, then foregrip last. Really want that black polymer look, hopefully it turns out well.
I'm not sure how well a 3d printed foregrip would hold zero, and it would probably melt, but you can always buy special 3d printed filament with higher heat resistance.

I would for the pistol grips and fore ends! A darker more AK coloured wod would be great especially with a dong. Price dependent though of course
Picture of an AK buttpad on an underfolder, alongside fixed and side folder.
It looks like you have to either remove the buttpad to fold it with a magazine loaded, or unload the magazine, but this shouldn't be an issue if you are bench shooting or using the firearm in a match. Hopefully someone has a similar one and can confirm if it works.

I've got that butt pad you speak of that has those grooves to accommodate the horseshoe shape of the underfolder. I'll post an update here once I receive the rifle, although that could take a few weeks.
Edit: Just noticed a few posts back. Looks like the butt pad will work with underfolder.

If it comes in! They still have to actually get them to make another run.
