Current AK-74s available these days?

[BarryP]

I am looking for an AK-74 (5.45x39) and have no experience with them. Other than an SAR-2, what are the available options? I would like an SLR-105 but see that they are not made anymore. I have an SAR-1 and VEPR in 7.62x39. Is there anything like a VEPR in 5.45x39 readily available these days? Thanks for you input.

Romanian CUR2 would be a great and affordable platform to start with, although its not VEPRish... But it would still probably be easier to find the no-longer-made SLR105 for sale privately on forum boards. That would be my first choice.

There are plenty of Arsenal, Inc. SLR-105 series rifles available on the various boards - I would recommend picking one up if you can.

Hammerstone Arsenal seems to be building some damn fine AK-74’s lately. I was sitting on the fence for one when they were using Ewbanks receivers but now that they have switched to DCI/NoDack all bets are off.

I placed one of there AK-74M’s on order this week. I got sick of missing out on the SLR-105’s that became available (Either through my poor decisions or bad timing).

Dang. I don't see any AK74s on their site now. It's all shorter style AKs.
