These were all confiscated off Mexican criminals. Click to expand the images.
I have never seen such an ornate AK-47 before.
I would be embarrassed to go to the range with it.
AR-15 / M16 SBR
I think the bling on this one is fake
I am sure the saints do not protect gangsters.

Don’t forget the AK and AR-18 in that second photo.
So lame. These guys have no class.
-D
I bet that AK has a canted front sight!
They look like guns for women of ill repute
Anyone who thinks these guns are coming from the US is going to be sorely disappointed when he gets here. I just got back from my local gun shop and I couldn’t find a gold-plated piece anywhere in there! Every one of those would make an excellent movie prop.
Good Lord, if you’re going to gold plate an AK at least spend the extra cash and get a milled receiver to start with.
There’s no telling that these where taken only from gangsters actually.
la verdad si esta muy nacas las armas narcas, jajajajajajajajajjaajajjajaj
I think the top one is made of chocolate.
tacky, just plain tacky noveau riche.
Jesus Malverde is known as the “narco saint” by many law enforcement officers and drug dealers.
bigzac beat me to it!
Worked on a short documentary on Malverde a few years ago: http://www.creativejuiceskc.com/malverde.html
Fascinating stuff.
Man…….. that’s some ugly stuff. I bet that poor GI pistol is itching under those grips like a coon dog with the mange.
“These were all confiscated off Mexican criminals.” I just wonder which of their current crop of Politicians have just been jailed or if this is a “Collection” put together over several Administrations???
WOW!! just WOW!!
Should I duck? Should I laugh? Should I laugh as I duck? And that AK-??, is that the spray & pray Mexican Gangster version?
Puke:
I was thinking the same thing. They looks like cheap chocolate wrapped in foil and given out for Easter.
Not for nothing though, The carving on the AK stock is art.

And I thought the Taurus “Pimp Daddy Special” that I saw in their catalog a couple of years ago was revolting.
Sarah, lol, this is the one you are referring to?

I’m pretty sure those come straight from a gun store in the US, don’t you think?
I am pretty sure the saints don’t protect them, just imaginative… But i am sure the bullets and the gun are good enough to protect them. HAHA!
These gun’s where not meant to go to the range tard, they where to show off. & more importantly kill with style. HAHA!
Its their money, its their decision, its their love.. like we love our guns they love theirs too…
2 different cultures.
Some people are rather jealous of the things these cartels have…they just don’t show it.
I wonder if little Mexican kids yell “Bling! Bling! You got me!” when they play cops and robbers.
Por dios!!
Que mal gusto!!
The first picture is of an AK-74u, not an ak-47. note the bullpup design.
you all are haters ….this is art and money that you dont have…,,,
@Chad I think its an AKMSU with the original stock and pistol grip removed because the ‘74 uses bake-lite magazines with a slightly different shape whereas the AK-47/AKM/AKMSU use the metal magazines, like this one. I don’t know if you just phrased it wrong but bullpup is when the magazine and action are behind the trigger, which on this thing its not.
I think this gun is pretty ugly, not to mention a waste of gunsmithing. to me a beautiful AK-47 is one with a Magpul MOE stock, a MIAD pistol grip, a tactical 4 sided RIS fore-end with a Surefire scout light and a vertical grip with an EOTech on top.
Saddam’s AKs were much better looking
still think the pimped out ak’s from africa look better
