My AK

Nice! It looks like mags will easily clear the TD VFG when being rocked in. What kind of sling are you going to use? Are you selling SLR's now too?

I am thinking very hard about installing the VLTOR AK RE-47 and then going with the Vickers two point sling.

I am now stocking Arsenal Ak's.

Grant,

That is a nice-looking setup, very similar to my own in many ways. I'll be very interested to see how everything shakes out in class. I think that's four confirmed SLR-106 platforms in the class to date (you, me, Templar and VADinger).

As far as changing the stock on yours, that is not an option unless you have the entire rear "trunion" removed and replaced with a traditional (non-folding) rear section. You can always install the steel triangle folder, of course, but I think you're looking for some adjustability.

I was also looking at this interface from Ace.

Once again, you would need to cut and grind the rivets and completely replace the rear part of your rifle.

Your 106 has the following on the rear end:




Whereas a "standard" non-folding AK uses:





You might want to pick up an alternate with a conventional stock such as:

You can mod this rifle instead of hacking your 106.

Thanks. What I am really after is the ability to mount a Vickers 2 point sling on it. I don't have a sling swivel where the receiver and the stock meet (which is where I like them).

Grant, I have a Vickers 2 point mounted on mine and it works great for me. It takes a little getting used to having the sling mount on the right-hand side, but trust me - it works.

[C4IGrant]

I wondered how that worked. Thought that it wouldn't sit right (especially on transitions).

I was even toying with the idea of punching out the swivel and reversing it.

Before you punch it out and reverse it, give it a try the way it is currently set up.

The metal fastener that holds the sling swivel in the stock can be a real muther to hammer back down (ask me how I know...)

Dammit Grant you aint making it any easier for my wallet! I have been wanting an AK for some time now! Gotta say you got your looking good!

Grunt Out!
