My quest for a Kvar PBS-5 took a loooong time when i got my 104UR and i got lucky. I originally went with a Ctrax can but i have zero clue about refinishing and i looked for a Kvar already painted. Looks like im restarting that quest lol I went with a Ctrax as well. I decided on the 13oz step down smooth model black powder coated.I went with this one as its 6 oz lighter than the standard one Here is a pic of the one im getting only powder coated black. There might have been some miscommunication between me and the seller on the powder coating,hoping its not the raw aluminum finish.If i have to i will figure something out.

The 107-51's and some of the 107-54's should be shipping late this week Paid off my balance on layaway today so i can get this hopefully next week.  I did the layaway as well, but it looks like they may have charged the whole thing today. 
Wanted to keep this on the down low so the wife wouldn't bitch. Oh well, with 41P looming (maybe) The process should begin ASAP.

so, you could buy the rifle, receive the rifle, file Form 1, find someone to cut & thread the barrel, add a comp, and end up a little cheaper than $2k, right? Perhaps a little. I was ther, and after a little thought, I just went ahead and ordered the SBR. Another part of that is that I have a stock 107CR sitting in my closet after about 5 years. |

A bunch of the 51's went out today.
Triple amounts of the 51's will go out tomorrow with some of the 54's. K-Var will email you a tracking # when it ships.There is supposed to be some important letter from team K-Var with the packing slip with every rifle. Not sure if its about the rescrictor in the gas block or some NFA info.Just a heads up. Hopefully some of ours ship out in Thursdays batch

Now i will have 2 5.45 krinks, one being a 104 and one a crappy kit build, and the 107. Well shit now it looks like i need a 106UR one of these days! My only dilemma is idk how i wanna set the 107 up. Im all about traditional but my 104 is already tradition and my other one i took the poly furniture off the 104 and slapped it on.

Might go tacticool for the first time in my AK life Thats a good problem to have with several krinks  Never thought the UR's would come back and if they did i figured they would be $1500+ for them.To say i was shocked at the price is an understatement.
I have seen some of the 106UR's going for less than $800 on gunbroker every once in awhile. I thought about going with traditional Tula wood HG and triangle stock but all of my other AKs are traditional so im going to leave it as it came with the poly stock.Might get the original Bulgy HG's at some point. A Plum colored one would be sweet but the prices on a krink set is @$240 from K-Var

Just picked mine up today. Beautiful and perfectly straight.
Could not be happier. Upon a more in depth inspection, this rifle is cosmetically perfect and mechanically sound.
This is also my first triangular folder. I can see why people prefer the polymer sidefolder.

Just got back from my FFL with mine.
Checked it out very closely before finishing the transfer. Rivets looks perfect Straight sights both front and rear Stock opens and closes easily,button has right amount of tension. Locks folded without any problems. Finish is uniform and consistent. Inside of rifle is spotless Rear trunnion is aligned correctly Action is smooth with no hang ups I admit i was a bit nervous this week hoping there wouldnt be an issues,glad there wasnt any. Only nitpick thing i noticed is the gas tube has a tiny bit of rattle to it which will be fixed up with a spring,no big deal. The engraving is pretty good on mine imo other than the last 3 letters of Bulgaria and 107UR as they are a bit light and faded looking.Almost like a light strike And the trigger is horrible.Mine has and im not joking, around 1.5-2" of creep.  Feels like a SKS trigger,worst trigger i have ever seen.
No worries as i have a ALG trigger coming along with a US Palm grip next week. 
I added a Ctrax fake can for now,makes it look much better. Just wanted to say thank you to Robert and the K-Var crew for getting these to us and for the free gift,i truly appreciate the excellent service. Here is a pic i managed to take before it got dark,enjoy

If you chop the barrel and it doesnt cycle properly it probably has a plug. **Edit- On my 107UR i can see the plug with the gas tube off the rifle using a bright flashlight by looking into the gas port. You will see a black little donut in the center of the gas port going into the barrel.It basically cuts the port diameter in half. There are some great pics of the plug over on the akfiles in the k-var section for reference.One person has already drilled his out and said it was very easy just dont go bigger than 3mm. |

Such a hassle getting our schedules to line up so I can finally get my stuff. I stick to brick and mortar shops with set business hours. |

I use an FFL that runs it out of his house.I agree sometimes our work hours,etc is a hassle to get a time worked out. I dont like regular store front FFL's for transfers after a few i used in the past would finger fuck my guns before i get there,which i highly frown upon. That being said, i will deal with the schedule hassle as i know only he sees the items and he waits until i get there to take the rifle out.That goes a long way with me |

Yeah, he is out of his house. Seattle area FFL's are expensive on transfers, and his fee is reasonable.
I shot him an email, so hopefully tomorrow for some 107UR goodness.

can't wait until it shows up!
I don't think these have been around for the past 5-8 years, I was able to score one on the secondary market for around $1500, which I thought was fair $1300 is a pretty good price, they could have asked for a few hundred more |

Well i got my ALG trigger in today for my UR.
The trigger is too wide at the base to move freely in the receiver. I know how to install AK FCG done it a bunch of times.It fits in but is rubbing on the right side of the trigger base where the trigger is so stiff it won reset. I tried a Tapco G2 i had laying around and low and behold the G2 fits perfect with no issues. I can see on the right side of the ALG trigger where it is making contact with the receiver.Not happy as this was $50. All of my other ALG triggers fit perfect in my WASR and Maadi.Guess i got a lemon,going to try to wet sand the trigger base on the one side and see if that works
