I was wondering if anybody has used this combination. I am experimenting with tactical reloading of the SLR-106FR and I can see how something like a MagPul would GREATLY enhance the process.
If anybody has, did you use the 5.56 or the 7.62 version?

Not sure what caliber the SLR-106FR is, but I do know that the 5.56 magpuls will work on the AK-74 mags ( I used to have an SAR-3 ). I guarantee it!!

The SLR-106FR is 5.56mm; same size as the AK-74 mags - thanks very much!
:D
the 556 MAGPULs work on bulgarian waffle 762x39 mags as well

While I really like Magpuls products... I hate them on AK mags... a while ago I had a few on some 7.62x39mm mags... and... I put them into my chest rig bullets first... as Mr. Murphy would dictate...when I went to draw the mag... the closure at the top of the mag pouch was narrow enough that the lip on the back of the mag caught... I pulled, tugged, pulled... and when I looked down to see what the issue was... if came free... I damn near hit myself in the face with the mag.
So, since then... I never really used Mapguls on AK mags ;)

Thanks for your insight, Yancey.
I was wondering more about them facilitating administrative reloads rather than for an easy yank out of a chest rig, but all things must be considered.
Do you teach tac reloads for the Kalashnikov with the fresh mag in-hand first, or do you advocate removing the partially spent mag and stowing it first?
Well, train like you fight...
in a gunfight there are no admin reloads...

Ah, well...
I know that this can be one of those contentious topics and that different trainers and students have good arguments for their own TTP's.
Thanks again for the info and I hope someday to take your AK101 course.
Roger that... I agree...
We hope to have you in a class some day.
