The guys are obviously poking fun at you a bit. Don't sweat it...there are some real tools on ASC.

Take a look as some of the step by step guides for taking apart a TM AK47 (your Kraken comes apart exactly the same). It's quite easy to do and there's only one or two small things to take care of when you do it.

Then paint both the inside and outside of your clear lower...that'll hide the monstrosity of a receiver and by painting the inside it won't look like ass when it eventually gets scratched up. If you do lots of light coats of paint it won't look too bad.

So far as the furniture goes (handguard, pistol grip, stock, etc...)...you can either keep what you've got, or replace them with aftermarket parts (that will probably cost as much, if not more, than your Kraken). Personally...I think the Kraken furniture looks like shit and painting them won't help. (take with a grain of salt)...anything that fits a TM AK47 will fit the Kraken.

If you want to "hide" some of the asthetic lackings of the Kraken...give some consideration to a camo paintjob.

Take a look at version 3 mechboxes at the same time...it's worth giving the factory mechbox a once over to switch out metal bushings, reshim, regrease, etc... That's all for durability, not cosmetics.

Consider a better houp rubber and inner barrel too...the stock ones are pretty horrible (relatively speaking).

Best of luck
