Grips History:

The first pistol grips seen on the early rifles were copies of the laminate wood grips used on the early Soviet AKM rifles:

These were only used on the 1963-1965 rifles and were replaced by a grip made out of bakelite plastic when the AIM/md. 63 variant started to be produced full swing.

The bakelite grips are usually a redish brown color and can range from a really dark brown to a really light almost red/tan color. With the switch to the 5.45 cartridge, the grips used on all the md. 86 rifles were all a really light bakelite color, almost orange:

You will often see lots of swirl, flecks pattern in the grips themselves too. The Romanian grips differ from other countries and are easily identifiable due to the inverted checker pattern on both sides of the grip. Other countries use a pattern that has lots of tiny little raised "pyramids" to create a rough feeling grip. The Romanians have a reverse of this and have a grid of little shallow squares/diamonds and feel smooth to the touch. There are no stampings or mould numbers on these grips.
