Got one....Arsenal SLR-106ur !!!
12/12/2010 10:08:12 PM
I picked up my Arsenal SLR-106ur 5.56 NATO Krink from my FFL at the gun show on Saturday and took it out for a run. Man, this rifle rocks! I've wanted one for quite some time a got it on Gun Broker for a real deal.
The Arsenal SLR-106ur is a lot of fun to shoot. The rear sight needs to be a bit wider, but I'll see if I can mod it or find an upgrade.
I put a faux PBS-5 suppressor on it that I got from one of the guys here, as I don't want to mess with having it SBR'd and all the legal paperwork that goes with it. I refinished the hand guards with a golden pecan stain and used shellac as a sealant, as the original paint was a nasty "baby poop" brown.
So far, I'm pretty please with it. I would have shot more footage but the battery died on my camera and it got dark quick. More videos to come!
Krink Time!

- Congrats on the new toy!
- Watch / be careful with the finish. My 107 had low quality paint that Hoppes cleaner would wipe right off.
- Check out Cabelas if you have a local store. They had steel case .223 on sale for $3.99/box last time I was in there.
Not to be a dick in any way, but whats the point in buying a short gas system AK if you're not going to SBR it? It's kinda the same as having a regular carbine, right?

You know, I was thinking about that last night (short stroke system on standard length barrel). Would the S.S. system not be best suited for the job, given the barrel length?
It seems to function rather well, and.....IT JUST LOOKS COOL!

Dont sell yourself on the SBR paperwork being some kind of impassable obstacle. I thought the same way you did before I actually bit my tongue and just did it. Pathetically easy to do. Quite literally, the only thing even moderately difficult is the wait. The first time you get to hold it with the short barrel... its all worth it, many times over.
12/14/2010 11:12:03 PM
Yea, watch that finish, it comes off if you look at it wrong.
Mine ran well till I SBR'd it. I am going to have to have some expert check it out.

Look, you did real good. The 5.56 Krink is a bad ass. Screw the 5.45. Sure its cheaper" right now". However 5.56 is a superior round. The SLR 106ur is a light compact powerfull weapon. Lots of people want the Triangle stock, so it looks like Osoma's. I find the 100 poly stock much nicer.

Yea, I put the triangle stock on mine, the poly one is soo much better.

Crap, I thought the 106UR was drilled right and did not requier opening up the Gas port. Either way, This is somthing you can do. I wonder how many have had to do this as opposed to who has not? Poll??

You have to SBR that thing (this rifle was made to be chopped). Here's a photo of mine to get you inspired
FYI: The gas ports were fine on mine... didn't have to drill anything.

micah360, that is sweet. What method did you use to cut it down? Did you do it your self? Is it ammo senseitive?

thanks. I used a hacksaw, a file and a crowning tool. It feeds 100% on everything I've fed it so far... but I mainly just shoot Wolf out of it.
12/17/2010 9:22:44 AM
Thanks for the encouragement guys. I may just do it. I agree that it looks much cooler as an SBR, for sure! Someone mentioned setting up a living trust as a way to do the SBR, how does that work?
Nice rifle Micah360!

what is the rate of twist on the stock barrel vs the true krink barrel?

I know the 107ur's had a small grommit in the gas port that had to be removed when SBR'ed, is it possible the same thing is true on the 106ur series?

The 5.56 depends on velocity to do damage(without high velocity the round doesn't fragment), where the 5.45 doesn't. So when coming from a short barrel like a krink, the 5.56 is not the superior round by any stretch.

Except for the fact that the 5.56 has the abillity to do anything the 5.45 round was designed to do only better. The 5.45 round with the hollow nose cavity followed by lead then steal. This is projectile design. It yaws. Its not magic. nor is it unduplicatable.

Although many consider the 1991-vintage AK-74M (Avtomat Kalashnikov 1974 Modernized) the zenith of the Kalashnikov family of assault rifles, I am not so quick to agree. As good as the 5.45x39mm AK-74M is, I feel the Russians developed a slightly better rifle in 1993, the AK-101. Little more than an AK-74M rechambered for the West's 5.56x45mm cartridge, the AK-101 is a better rifle, I believe, simply due to the chambering. Although the 5.45x39mm cartridge is a fine round and does have its strong points such as case design and economical cost, the 5.56mm is simply a better and more versatile cartridge. When it comes to exterior ballistics, terminal performance and accuracy, anything the 5.45x39mm cartridge can do, the 5.56x45mm can do better.

I disagree 100%. Everything the 5.56 can do now is simply because of the technological advancements in the round. If the US market continues to use the 5.45 round and ammunition advancements increase I feel it will surpass the 5.56.

Isn't the 5.45 already superior to the 5.56? Less recoil, shoots flatter, and does more damage.

Not if you are talking about some U.S. made rounds vs. 5.45, luvkily we've got hornady leading the way with the U.S. in 5.45, so hopefully we can see more companies coming around to this munition soon

The US is gearing 5.56 to zip, penatrate and fragment. The 5.45 is looking to hit and yaw in soft targets. From= http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=394981
Just to add to what TheManHimself said, It seems like ANY standard 5.56 FMJ round will penetrate steel better than the warsaw pact surplus 5.45 round.
This plate was hit with a variety of 5.56 FMJ, no AP or green tip, just plain old LC72, wolf & malaysian. All the 5.45 was Bulgarian military surplus. That air gap in the nose really cuts down on penetration in hard targets.

Would you rather have a small hole all the way through your body or a hole that enters small and exits much larger or possibly bends like a boomerang and rips everything in its path apart? There was a thread around that someone posted deer that he had shot with the 74 round. The exit whole through the deer was very large.
