What’s Included
- One 30-round Bulgarian polymer waffle-pattern magazine
Built at the Arsenal AD factory in Bulgaria, the SLR-106FR features a stamped steel receiver marked with the Circle 10 proof and Arsenal, Las Vegas import stamp. This model was discontinued after a limited import run, increasing its desirability for collectors who value genuine Bulgarian AK variants.
The 16.25 inch cold hammer forged barrel is produced on Steyr-licensed machinery, then chrome-lined for durability and corrosion resistance. A 24 mm AK-74-pattern threaded muzzle accepts the included compensator, helping tame recoil and muzzle rise.
A left-side dovetail rail allows quick attachment of compatible optic mounts without compromising the rifle’s traditional lines. Standard AK iron sights include a hooded front post and a tangent rear sight graduated from 100 to 800 meters.
The side-folding black polymer stock locks solidly in both positions and combines with a 12.75 inch length of pull to keep the rifle compact for transport. Matching polymer handguards provide a comfortable grip and an accessory rail for light or accessory mounting.
A factory two-stage fire-control group meets 922r compliance while delivering a predictable break. Chambered in readily available 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem., the SLR-106FR offers a familiar caliber in a robust AK platform.
