Questions about my AK.

[felinesNfreedom]

I traded for my AK about a year ago and I have looked into it but seem to find very little info on it. From what I have read, they seem to be pretty good builds. Anyone have any experience with this one? It stamped like this. SLR-100H, Cal. 7.62X39, ArsenaL Bulgaria, Intrac, Knox TN. I have a few hundred rounds through it with no problems. It is a milled receiver. I can post pics if you guys want.

It's an Arsenal and considered one of the higher level builds. Usually, they went for over 1k new, so it isn't your cheap run of the mill made by a 12 year old AK. You have  a good one. Bulgarian AK's are some of the finest available

Please post up some pics.

After a little looking, it appears that it is indeed a Arsenal Bulgarian kit built here in the states around 2001 by one of four different contractors. Appear to be very high quality build and somewhat rare.

Most were built using Hungarian parts kits on the Arsenal receiver.

I believe only one of the contractors were using Hungarian parts kits. The others were Bulgarian.

I believe Intrac was the importer here that first handled the Croatian HS2000 pistols, rebranded by Springfield as the XD.

Mine has Hungarian parts.

I looked into mine an it's built on humgarian parts. I have been impressed with it. The bolt and carrier is chrome, my only complaint is the finish, dust cover and receiver don't match plus it's a little dull. It's been a great rifle. I will get some pictures up soon.

Should be easy enough to refinish on your own now that duracoat comes in spray cans.  Would have a hard time tacti-cooling that rifle but to each his own :)

Not going to duracoat it. One of my best friends runs a heat treat facility and he also does black oxide. If i want He can black oxide it for me.I would like to put one of the arsenal 74 style folding stocks on it. Edited October 31, 2014 by XxthejuicexX

Your's is a milled receiver so you can't use one of the bolt on type stock kits. You'll have to modify the receiver to accept the paratrooper stock. I'd look into an ACE stock if you plan on going that far with it.

It's a milled double tang and I really don't want to cut one off so I will have to figure something out. Like you said I know ACE makes a few along with some other guys. Most of the time you have to cut the lower tang off to make most stocks work so I am not sure what I want to do just yet. I really do not want to cut a tang off to make a stock work. I really don't want to put an AR stock on it but I found a buffer tube that will work with the receiver I have and then I could put a magpul stock on it.

Unless Arsenal releases a milled version of their SF adapter then yeah you really don't have much of an option.  I wouldn't cut that tang for nothing.  Go get a beater Wasr and tacticool that one out and return this one to original; wood and muzzle nut.

I have the wood and muzzle nut but I like the rail so I can mount optics, I have a hard time seeing and shooting with the iron sites. I will not cut the tang off. It's also not about being tacticool it's more for ease of use for me. I like the old wood look of the AK's but I prefer a more Ergonomic AK for shooting.
