A couple years ago I bought a Zastava ZPAP M70 "Yugo" AK variant rifle. It was a really nice rifle with beautiful brown walnut furniture, and I was quite happy with it. Not long ago Zastava emailed me with an ad for "Red Serbian" replacement furniture for their ZPAP rifles. Somewhat on an impulse, and taken with the concept of red furniture on a "commie" gun, and also because the new grip handle looked like an improvement, I ordered the full set. Upon arrival it was a real disappointment: the red color was correct but it had a dull opaque finish that allowed nary a glimpse of the wood grain beneath. So I completely stripped the set, and as I suspected, I found some nice wood underneath, so I refinished everything in my own version of "commie red".
Now, I need to decide which furniture to keep:
1) The original brown furniture set:

2) Or, the new red furniture set:

What's your choice for which furniture I should keep on my ZPAP M70?
