Custom Dyed Magpul AK Grips from Echo Nine Three
I am going to let you in on a little secret. The original thin, little popsicle stick of a grip that comes on most AKs is terrible. All those “Keep that #$%! off my AK!” guys won’t admit it but they wish they had grips that actually filled the hand of a well fed westerner. Echo Nine Three is here to help guys like that with their new Bakelite Orange and Plum custom dyed Magpul AK grips.
They take a darn good grip, the Magpul MOE AK Grip, and apply a custom dye process to create traditional AK colors like Bakelite Orange and Plum. The Bakelite Orange can be clear coated (not included) to appear even more authentic. The Plum color is dyed to match Arsenal’s Plum furniture. They sell the grips already dyed or they can dye user provided parts.
Now you can have a grip that was designed with an actual human in a color that you can satisfy your appetite for authenticity.
Echo Nine Three Viet-Nine
Echo Nine Three turns out some very cool stuff from the gunsmithing side of their operation. Their latest, the Viet-Nine, is a real crowd-pleaser but, unfortunately, it is not something they intend to offer.
This retro 9mm AR-15 build took over 2 years to complete because of how scarce some of the parts are. The mid-length triangular handguards are custom made while the stock and grip are original. The 14.5″ barrel has a permanently attached flash suppressor to bring it to a non-NFA length.
This build is so clean and unique, I had to profile it here.
Echo93 SpecMod
Echo Nine Three’s SpecMod stock set is pretty slick. It blends traditional looks with features that the “modern” shooter expects. They recently produced a graphic that notes all the components and features in an easy to digest way.

Plum AR from Echo Nine Three
You know Echo Nine Three for their work with AKs but few people realize that they also know their way around the AR-15. They have made AR-15 lowers for years. Their lowers are notable for their lack of over the top markings which I appreciate. Given all that background, it should come as no surprise that they are considering offering an AR-15, the Plum AR, that pays homage to their AK roots.
The Plum AR gets its name from the custom plum color Magpul furniture and accessories that mimic the purplish hues of the famous early Russian attempt at black polymer (so the legend goes) that is so well loved by AK shooters. All of the plum components are actually custom dyed to create the effect.
The features and specs are not set in stone. In fact, Echo Nine Three is soliciting advice on how the carbine should be configured on their Facebook page. As it stands now, it is build around a 14.5″ lightweight profile barrel with a 1 in 7″ twist and mid-length gas system. The muzzle device is permanently attached. The price can not be determined until the project is finalize but E93 is promising that the quality will be excellent and the price will be competitive.
