Tape up
This tape is the REAL deal baby. Got an AK? Tapeless? Going to leave that poor thing naked and cold or are you gonna TALE UP THAT THANG
Whether it's decorating an AK for morale or for identification of a personal rifle in a pile of very similar rifles, the origin for how the tradition started is hazy, but it's been mostly seen in the middle east and parts of southern Asia.
Putting a personal artistic flair on your weapon has been a tradition as long as warfare has. Taping your firearm for utility or repair has been around as long as tape and firearms have been in the same place. Regardless, this tradition stands out both in practice and in looks.
Sanctioned military forces and guerilla units alike have wrapped their rifles with this tape as a means of identification, fixing cracked & broken wooden furniture, and to adhere the occasional "Sweetheart" to their magazine or grip.
It's now a beloved tradition by AK enthusiasts worldwide, even if its candied colors are a bit of an acquired taste...
Artistic expression in this way has always been a part of warfare, whether it's painting a beautiful lady on the side of a bomber or representing your unit with a badass patch.
We saw the appeal, rolled up our sleeves, and decided to get the authentic tape made for our store.

The tape has been seen on AKMs, Surplus Bolt-action rifles from the WW1, and even a fair share of weapons of the western world...
