Arsenal's AK-104 clone: SLR-107CR

And cold hammer forged as well.

Nice score Boss Hogg!

Ah yessir, I forgot about that!

Thanks! Now I just need to stock up on 7.62x39 blastin' ammo.

It's worth noting that it's still not as accurate as my post-ban Old Skool Maadi, purchased in '91. The action on that thing is REALLY smooth and solid.

Yeah, muzzle threads would be nice as the muzzle flash seems bigger than conventional gas block AKMs.

I wish Arsenal would make a clone of the AK-105 in 5.45. I need to check with KVar if you could put a Bulg AK-105 16" barrel assy on a Romanian SAR-2.

Me too, that would be great!

I have a Saiga reworked by Chris Butler of AK USA that looks very much like that. It was A LOT MORE expensive though but probably not as nice (yours is a factory job but Chris's work is great so that sort of makes up for it). Anyone looking to do a AK104/102 or 5.56/7.62 Krink needs to get in on Arsenal's CR and UR models - excellent base guns for the project, especially since they come with the folding stocks ready to go. A little barrel work (and opening of the gas port/gas block on the 107UR) and you'll have a great gun.

Thanks for the tip on AK USA.

Does anyone have muzzle velocity data on 5.45, 5.56, and 7.62 Krinks?

I'm having a 5.45 Krinkov made by MATR/BHI, but I'm wondering how much muzzle velocity is lost on 5.56 and 7.62 with an 8" barrel. I've heard about too many problems on the 5.56 AKs that I'll probably stick with 5.45 and 7.62x39.

Okay, I'm getting a SLR-107CR and I'm going to SBR it!

I just have to find one

I haven't heard anything negative about 5.56 AK's. Do you mean any or all 5.56 AK's or just the Arsenal 106's? I'm really thinking of plopping down money for an AR project on one of the SLR-106's...

Mine was ordered today!

There's been a few problems with the 106s. Some left the factory not properly sighted in (No biggie). Some owners have had feeding problems (which Arsenal will fix and ship back).

I haven't heard alot of these cases though, they seem to be pretty small.

Bar none, the SLR-107CR I examined over a month ago up at J&G Sales was the nicest stamped AK I'd ever seen in terms of fit, finish and smoothness of the action.

I was real impressed by it.
