I've been looking for a 1983 Cobra Officer AK-47 in order to recard a nice Cobra Officer I got recently, but the costs are a bit high for a recarded custom, so I was searching around and found a decently priced AK-47 that came with the 1997 Star n Stripes Grunt.
My question is this... is there a huge difference between the two weapons?

The 1997 figures and weapons are not quit as detailed as the originals for the most part, but this is barely noticeable. They are also made from a more brittle plastic so be careful.
There are not much differences other than that though. |

i don't have the stars and stripes ak-47, so i'm not 100% sure if this is the case with this one, but i know a lot of the newer weapons that are remakes of the old ones are a much darker black than the originals. the originals were really more of a darkish gray whereas the new ones are jet black

Well at $2.50 I went ahead and ordered the 1997 Grunt AK... I figure it's close enough for my resto card.
Thanks guys.

yeah, there's a BIG difference. plastic quality is less and the 97 gun is black. The 82-83 gun is dark gray. If you had them side by side, you'll know which is which-even with your eyes closed.

But for a re-carded repro should it be okay?
