Hey Nictra, you seem pretty knowledgeable on this topic, and I've seen your posts in others, so here's a question for you! Working on the parts for the SBR of my 106 whilst I await the paperwork, and am trying to decide on a muzzle device. I have the long "krink" style brake that's on the gun, and I've looked at the shorter krink type. How do you think the 4 piece krink brake would work on the CR? I've looked around and Ive seen some in 7.62, but I've seen you comment that they'll work on the smaller caliber as well. Do you have a source for real Bulgy 4 piece? I've checked Cope's, Kvar, no luck. Thanks in advance!

tried to IM you so as not to get this thread off target, but you have it turned off.
I think the 4 piece would work great on an SBR'd CR. That's what I will probably use on mine when I do it. Try DSA for the 4 piece http://www.dsarms.com/Original-Bulgarian-762x39-Krinkov-4-Piece-Flash-Suppressor––––KR009B/productinfo/KR009B/ or keep an eye on the EE be sure you read the thread in the krink section, there are some bogus ones made out there that are being pushed as Bulgarian. |

I surf alot but rarely post so I don't think my IM is active. I'll call DSA and see if they have the 4pc in stock. I'm thinking I should have bought a 107CR instead........
Thanks for the help! Update: DSA is out and no idea on BO being filled. I've searched the net to no avail. Only thing I've found is the knock offs that don't even come close. Damn.  |

Ha ha! After about a year of putting this project off, I finished it today. Dinzag's crown tool worked great! Well worth the money for the rental.
Easy DIY project. The only thing I should have done differently was to hand file more of the barrel off initially. I left about a 1/4" at first. I thought the crown tool would make easy work of that. I soon realized it would be faster/easier to take it down flush with the FGB by hand. After doing that, the crowning tool finished it off. You really can't go wrong with this. Take your time, don't rev the drill too high, and continue to use the oil. Check it out... 
107CR 107UR 
Now, if I could only remember where I put the sling at. |

Wow 'bean, those turned out nice! I'm holding off until I find the muzzle device I want. Where'd you get the 4 piece on your 107UR? And the one on the CR? Wish I had gotten my CR in 7.62.........

Thanks. I only did the CR. The UR was done last year at Elite Iron. I think I got the 4-piece from K-VAR...its been a while. The one on the CR was purchased at aa-ok. However, I had a rough time (high shipping costs, bad customer service, charged for items not received, took a long time to refund my account, etc) with aaok and really can't recommend you go there. I really gotta thank micah360 for the how to thread. It was a fun DIY project! |

Question for the guys who chopped down their CR's. Does it dramatically change how the rifle handles with the barrel shortened and booster on? Is their noticeably less recoil and does it help eliminate the blast.Does it warrant the Form 1 and the waiting game for this transformation. I have a 106CR and I really want to know was it worth all the time and extra $200 in your opinion.I would really like to use the SBR variant CR in my short range practical rifle matches but the naked barrel and fake brake make it a bit heavy and blasty at the end. I wanted to get some more feedback before I go the SBR route......again! LOL These damn things end up multiplying! Thanks Dan

Thanks Dan I can't be of too much help here as I didn't shoot the CR much before cutting it down. I can tell you that the muzzle blast only increases by cutting and boosting. To SBR or not would be a personal choice. I went into the deal knowing that's what I wanted to do. I think you get more bang for your SBR buck with the UR than the CR but since I had both it wasn't a concern to me. |

I am about to send in my forms on my 107CR.. and while looking at it I noticed that the fake brake has considerable wobble. I checked and it is turned as tight as it can go to index the pin. My concern is that after I get my forms back and I perform the bbl. job will the new brake tighten up and eliminate the slop. I know this is probably a dumb shit question but I have to ask since I am a first timer doing this mod. Thanks

Do all 107URs require a larger port? How much would that usually run, like for the total job? The 107ur doesn't require opening the gas port, it's already the correct size for function as an sbr. There is however a bushing or something of that nature in the gas port that makes it smaller for the 16" barrel, all you have to do is press off the front sight block and remove the bushing and your gtg. I don't know how much a gunsmith would charge to cut and crown one along with removal of the reducer in the gas port, but I would guess $100-$150 would be close. |

the tool is relatively cheap enough to buy, I did, and is totally worth it. I have used it on 2 AKs and 1 FAL with fantastic results. You can multiple caliber inserts for it so you can use it on many weapons.

I would never cut the crown flush. Leave at least a few millimeters to dress the crown in case it gets damaged or corroded. How did you guys remove the grommets?

First I bought an Arsenal 107CR and sent the forms off to the ATF. In my wait I was trying to decide who I would have cut and crown the barrel for me. I called around and local smiths wanted anywhere from $80-$150 to do this. So I started doing research and found out that this was a pretty simple job to do oneself. In the next few weeks I bought an Arsenal 106U. This confirmed that I would do the chop-job myself cause I didn't want to spend double. So, I bought a good hacksaw from Home Depot (and good, bi-metal blades for it too). My research told me that I'd need to file the muzzle square after the hack-job. Then once it's square(ish) the crowning tool takes care of the rest. Then just finish it off with some steel wool and some cold blue. FYI: The 107CR and the 106U models do not require opening up the gas ports after the chop like the 107UR models do. (At least my CR didn't.) Oh yeah... I rented the crowning tool from here. Dinzag Arms And here's a helpful link on crowning. crowning link Of course you all know this already, but you cannot cut the barrel below 16" until your approved tax stamp is in your hand. 107CR http://www.360wd.com/new-images/ak-104-clone.jpg 106U http://www.360wd.com/new-images/106u.jpg tools http://www.360wd.com/new-images/tools.jpg end products 107CR http://www.360wd.com/new-images/ak-104-muzzle.jpg 106U (I just recently re-crowned this one to get it flush) http://www.360wd.com/new-images/106-muzzle.jpg Did you have to cut your cleaning rod on the CR? Mine seems too long. |
