Wrap It Up: AK Leatherwork from Smokies Leather The Firearm Blog

We received a nice email from Caleb Rogers, founder of Smokies Leather, about their custom leatherwork that includes wraps for various AK rifle variants, slings, patches and other accessories. The kits are very reasonably priced, well made, and are manufactured in Athens, Tennessee. If you are looking for high-quality leather accessories for your rifle, take a look at the offerings from SmokiesLeather.com. I have included a few examples of their work below.
