The Hungarian AKs have the unique shape to the grips. The majority of AK-74s in the US are from Bulgaria so you can take an educated guess.The plum is the higher quality kit a Bulgarian stock usually will have a greenish color to it.Actually it is all very technical most AK's are actually military surplus that have been re-manufactured to be semi auto only they are then shipped to the US in sections and put back together in the US this has to do with firearms import laws.
Now you can find some old Chinese AKs and also Egyptian Misirs that where originally shipped to the US in the 1970's to early 80's (pre 1988 assault weapons ban) and sold as a solid unit and not put together in US factory.Any "new" AK though is technically produced in the US put together at a factory or sold to you in parts that you build yourself.The quality can be horrible some times so it is better to buy the parts and make it yourself or have a gunsmith do it for you.This is not to cheat the laws but to reduce costs a firearm produced 100% outside the US erans a higher tariff than one that comes in parts that is finished inside the US.
