This rifle is a true Bulgarian production AK-74M pattern, imported by Arsenal Inc. before the model was discontinued. Its stamped steel receiver carries the Arsenal Inc. Las Vegas NV import mark, underscoring its authenticity and collectibility.
The 16.25-inch barrel is cold-hammer-forged and chrome-lined on original Soviet machinery. A 24x1.5mm right-hand thread and bayonet/accessory lug under the front sight block provide compatibility with standard AK-74 muzzle devices and bayonets.
Polymer furniture keeps weight manageable while maintaining durability. The left-side folding stock locks solidly for compact transport and features a trap door for the cleaning kit. A 12.75-inch length of pull offers familiar AK ergonomics.
Arsenal’s two-stage, anti-slap trigger delivers a smoother pull than standard AK fire-control groups. Traditional iron sights—post front and tangent rear—give a precise sight picture out to typical AK engagement distances.
Chambered in 5.45x39mm and accepting standard 30-round magazines (three included), the SLR-104FR offers affordable, low-recoil shooting with the proven long-stroke gas piston system.
