New AK Furniture

Lately everything in the industry has became "tacticool". To me the one firearm that should never be changed is the AK47. 

I have long wanted an AK, ever since I first shot a MAK 90 as a child. Later on in life it would once again become a symbol of evil forbidden fruit as I sat late one night in the field at Camp Geiger for Infantry school getting an introduction to enemy weapons. The instructor held up RPG-7s, PK Variants and then finally an AK47. Immediately I thought back to my childhood of shooting the Mak 90 in the woods behind my house. I remember thinking "I need that firearm in my life." 

At first I was not a huge fan of the modern AK look however it has started to grow on me with Magpul now having their PMags available for the AK. Another cool modern upgrade for an AK is the AKuracy sight from Law Tactical, it allows the user to swap out the rear sight for a glock rear sight.

Now there is an even newer introduction to AK accessories. A stock made from human bone. I am not sure the authenticity of the item, as it can not be found on their website. What are your thoughts on this? Is it too morbid for the firearm that has probably taken more lives than any other in history?
