Built in Bulgaria on a 1 mm stamped receiver, this SLR-107FR carries the correct Arsenal importer mark and "Made in Bulgaria" stamp, along with a Bulgarian trunnion code "54." The receiver includes the integral left-side optics side rail typical for this series. Arsenal catalogs the SLR-107FR as a Historic/Discontinued model.
The 16-inch cold hammer-forged, hard chrome-lined barrel is threaded at the 24 mm front-sight-base interface (24x1.5 mm RH). It is currently fitted with a non-standard, multi-piece 24 mm flash hider. The rifle uses the 90° gas block with an AK-100/74-style front sight block, maintaining the correct AK front-end geometry and service-style components.
Operation is classic AK: gas-operated with a long-stroke piston and rotating bolt, and a right-side charging handle. Arsenal's two-stage, anti-slap fire-control group is installed. The twist rate is 1:9.44 to stabilize common 7.62x39 projectiles, and the capacity is 30+1 with standard double-stack magazines.
Furniture is black polymer, including ribbed handguards and a left-side folding stock with a 12.75-inch length of pull. Sights are iron with a protected front post and a tangent rear sight graduated to 800 meters. The lower handguard is molded "US," noting compliance furniture.
This example is part of the SLR-107 series and adheres to the AKM platform pattern while incorporating AK-100/74-style elements up front. It ships with one steel 30-round magazine and the installed 24 mm flash hider, presenting a complete, ready-to-run configuration within the SLR-107FR feature set.
