GeneralSLR-106U - Import, 5.56 NATO caliber is a stamped receiver, with non-functional pinned on flash hider goes over the 10 1/2 in. chrome lined hammer forged barrel and black polymer furniture. Popularly known as a Krink, an AK Pistol or a Krink Pistol.
Range ReportI ordered this SLR-106U through K-Var, which appears to be be Arsenal's primary distributor . The purchase went to Discount Gun Sales, which had great customer service btw. I made my purchase right after all the Sandy Hook madness, so I purchased it along with 6 30 rd mags. Included in my purchase was a genuine OD Bulgarian Krink Case, sling, one 5-round magazine, oil bottle, and cleaning kit.

I put over 200 rds through this gun over the course of a week out in the desert. I experienced zero malfunction between 6 different 30 rd polymer mags. A couple members of our party requested to load a few mags with their .223 ammunition, again performed flawlessly in their hands. It has also been my intention to SBR this firearm but the recoil is so negligible it's kind of hard getting the motivation to change anything about it. I was hitting tanerite targets 50-60 yards out, no problem. I found this gun particularly accurate and effective within 25-30 yds (without a stock). Did I also mention it's a total kick in the pants to blast a hillside with!?! It is by far one of the funnest guns I've shot.
SummaryThus far this Krink has outperformed my expectations. Once I have completed a stock installation it will be everything I need for a ranch gun and more.
