Recently, I was horrified to discover that Fox had never fired a single 5.45x39mm M74 7n6 round in his life! Obviously, this I had to correct and after a bit of thinking, I decided that the Arsenal SLR-105A1 would be a perfect first small caliber AK rifle for him. While we were at the range, Fox asked me why Soviet-Russia created and adopted the 5.45mm round anyway? That got me thinking and so now you get this video. In it, i cover how both the rifle and cartridge were designed, developed, tested, and put into service just in time for the war in Afghanistan.
This video features the SLR105A1, a semi-automatic only version of the classic fixed stock AK-74. The 105 was built in Bulgaria by Arsenal AD, though some of the parts used like the trunnion are reportedly actually Russian.
Also we have the SLR104FR, a semi-auto version of the Soviet paratrooper's AKS74 with an excellent left side folding buttstock. Like the 105, the 104 was built in Bulgaria by Arsenal AD and imported into the USA by Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas fame.
Both fire 5.45x39 and both are as close as you can get to the original thing, at least when talking authentic imports. Have a great weekend all, cheers.
