Under the crystal sits the assault rifle's recipe, and that is the craft you actually make. The skin has no blueprint and no research cost of its own; whoever knows the AK and owns the skin picks the crystal finish at the bench. The game's promise to show every shot describes the look, not anything you pay for.
The bill earns its place the day a spare one lands in your box. The recycler treats it like any AK: half the high quality metal and half the springs come back, the rifle body only on a coin flip. Since nobody can craft a body, a working crystal rifle is worth more in a teammate's hands than in the recycler.
