“The manufacturer must know this, too, because the U.S. made AKs appear to all be black rifles.”
the ones on the site are. If you look in the catalog, they have a wood version. What I think is interesting is that on the site they say it is based on the AK-74, the new improved version of the AK-47. Basically an AK-104 with cosmetic differences. They are Kalishnikov, they have the rights to build them, I suppose.
I want one, but I don’t need one, I need an AR.
You should always satisfy your needs before your wants. Why wait?
