I can't wait to shoot it for the first time tomorrow. I have some ARs so I thought it was time to get something different. It is an Arsenal SLR 107F. I bought it on GB for $899 which seemed to be decent from what I was seeing when I was shopping around. I bought some of the European surplus mags from Aim.

Congrats, you made a good purchase. The only thing that would trouble me is the absence of "R" (i.e., side rail). I guess you didn't want a side rail, so it is no big deal to you. In either case, great rifle! It's funny you mention that. I researched to make sure I got a good rifle but I completely overlooked that this one did not have a side rail. I am actually thinking of buying either the MI rails with the optic specific top cover or the mount that replaces the rear site. I am leaning heavily toward the T1. |
| Great choice for a first AK. I have been into Kalashnikov rifles for about a decade now, and just recently got my first Arsenal (an SLR-107CR). The only bad news is that there isn't too much room for improvement when you start so high on the totem pole to begin with. I am sure you will love your new AK. Let us know how she shoots. |

T-1 is an awesome optic, I have the H-1 because I didn't need the night vision settings. You may also want to take a look at the TWS Dogleg and Ultimak, they are pretty popular optic mounting solutions when you don't have a side rail. |

I do have one on one of my ARs and I do love it. I was going to buy the H1 since Palmetto State was running thier 20% off sale but they were sold out so I got another T1. I think I am going to go with the Ultimak for the weight savings. |
