I would love to have a 105, but that being said.....if I was going to do it, I'd probably do a 104 1st. There's just something about 7.62x39 in that package that I find appealing. I just got an M92 and haven't shot it yet, so that evaluation may change.

I have now tagged this thread for the awesomness that will be shown.

I too think the 104 is pure awesomeness and a slr107cr is very high on my list of wants.

Arrived today and is quite the piece.
With PK1 Obzor (formerly 1P63 Obzor) 1P78 Kashtan Selector markings Rivet work and 74M/100 series dimples 74M and 105 AKSU and 105 Comparison of AKSU and AK105 boosters (105 on bottom) Z |

My SLR107CR is my new favorite AK. I just need to get the barrel chopped and my CNC Warrior brake welded on. Then it will be perfect.

Nice rifles though. |

Nice rifles though. It's difficult to run a Russian type without a Russian barrel. The gas port isn't in the same location so you have to either drill it at an angle to meet or plug the Bulgarian port and re-drill for the Russian. Personally I just all Bulgarian configuration.

RR77 I am aware of the different gas hole locations. It would be worth the extra effort to make them correct, especially for sbr's. The Bulgarian combo sights look strange. Not a fan. |

Since I'm in IL and can't have an SBR, I figured using the Bulgy wouldn't be a big deal, since it couldn't be EXACTLY like the Rusky. I would've made me sick to pin that compensator to the gas block combo. |

A 105 clone is my next project. I am just currently short the rifle, FSB, cleaning rod, rear sight, and booster.

I'm dreaming of a 105. It has an AKSU rear sight and a metal handguard with keymod on the sides and a long rail on top. XS sights.
But I'm not sure it could even be made. |

A 105 with a krink rear sight is do-able. Been day dreaming about it myself. Just cut part of the regular AK RSB and weld the hinge part of the krink hinge block to it. Rivet a section of rail to the top of the top cover. I wanted to do all that plus a galil style thumb safety. The welding for the hinge on the RSB would take some work to finish and make look nice, but shouldn't be hard for any decent builder. |

Who would one go to for this? haha no sweat. I was going to run the project by Matt Yeamens when the time comes. He's a good AK builder that seems to be more than willing to do custom work like that for a decent price. His website is pretty sparse, but his work has a good track record. He did a reweld build for me that came out real nice. http://www.mygunsnorthwest.com/ |

Who would one go to for this? The better way to do this is to pull all the barrel components and press on a Krink RSB with the hinge block. You'll also then need a Krink FSB, because the rear sight is made to work in a slightly higher plane to get above the hinge. Any competent AK builder should be able to do this work. Rails and stuff are easy from there. |

To make it 105 length and do it that way you'll end up needing a custom gas tube, because neither the krink one or a regular length one will be long enough. Then you'll have issues with the length of the handguards (I think it would just look weird with krink handguards.. like a stretched krink). The hinge welded to a regular RSB just seemed like the solution with the least amount of hassle. I've been trying to see if the krink FSB would be a direct replacement for the 105 one, but don't have a 105 around here. |

Where would I look for the parts? I'm AK ignorant. K-var should have most of them, but it's gonna get pretty spendy. |

I was building a super short pistol, so I wanted to use the Krink sights on AKM everything else. I found that the front sight pin for the Krink front sight was at a higher dimension above the centerline of the bore than the regular FSB. I think they raised the sight plane to get it above the hinge. With the one I was doing, I used a regular AKM gas tube I had ground down to fit into the rear sight block of the Krink. |

That upper handguard looks quite a bit longer than a normal one.
Cool pic for sure, it's pretty much what I've been picturing in my head. |
|
It's most of the way there. Now it needs a full length top rail on the forend and a bull length plastic bottom piece.

I've been thinking of having the front end on a SAM7R changed to 104 style with the front sight gas block combo. Is this a wise decision? And should any builder be able to do this without risk of screwing anything up?

Maybe they had some to get rid of? This seems like just a bunch of parts put together like most really cool bulgarian concoctions. It doesn't have a pistol grip reinforcement plate so maybe the hungarian grip gives it more support? I hhave seen bulgarian aks74 without the plate too though and black furniture so who knows? |

It gets used a lot!, my local range is pretty close by and I spend a fair bit of time there.That said I don't think the finish is very hardwearing, the finish on my Dragunov SVDS is tanklike compared to the Saiga.Just noticed it appears more worn in photos than it does in the metal, which is odd. |

Hot damn this is an awesome thread!
I just picked up my SLR 107CR a few weeks ago. I'll try and contribute with pics once I get home from work. After having owned an SGL-21, I will say that my SLR blows it out of the water. |

My first build is going to be a 105 from a flat.... it will be seen here. Need a flat and some more tools....
