Just got the email, and just purchased one. Yeah, $999 isn't a bad price. These haven't been available for awhile, and it's not as if they're going to get cheaper over time.
I also picked up four 7.62x39 Circle 10 Bulgy mags. They're only $20 each if you buy the rifle. That's way cheaper than the regular price. I keep telling myself "I'm going to get away from 7.62 AK's", but then something like this happens. 
ETA: K-Var says they have 300 to sell. I doubt these will last more than one to two weeks. I know a lot of people have been waiting for the 107 to return. |

I'm thinking that Kvar rifle sales have dipped a bit, so they are finally trying to make a little more money on Volume than Price for a change.
Already having a 107UR and having recently bought a SAM7SF at the introductory price of $1349, I think I'll hold out for something a little sweeter. Maybe another so-called Game Changer.

Just as with stocks, you gotta be a buyer of the right items at the right time. If you avoid the over-hyped models and buy when they have good deals, you can do just fine with K-Var. |

I agree that some of their "introductory" prices have been "descent", but their significant price increases on various models is not justifiable. They simply did it because they could, such as on the SGL-21 and 31 rifles. I acknowledge that's Capitalism, and that buyers don't have to buy. I was merely making an observation as a long time Arsenal / Kvar customer. |

According to Just_Parker (I think that's his name...he posts here occasionally), the price increase on recent SGL's was entirely from the factory in Russia. He said they caught on to the whole capitalism thing and realized they could get more for their guns. I also recall him saying there was some internal debate at FIME about buying SGL's at all at the new prices, with a final decision being made that higher priced guns were better than no guns. As you said, it's just the markets doing what markets do. It never bothers me because I know that the price I'm paying today is probably going to seem like a bargain a few years down the road. |

Inflation's a fact of life and the curve will likely accelerate thanks to the idiot in charge, guns are always a good investment, excellent hedge against that very inflation. |

I think its as simple as continually increasing the price until they find the "ceiling" that customers are willing to pay, then stop. But its all good. If I think an Arsenal-Kvar price isn't reasonable, then I simply won't buy. This current $1k offering for the 107FR is not too bad. Like I said, I'd buy it at $1k if I didn't already have my 107UR and SAM7SF. If they get some 107CR rifles in at $1k, then I may consider it. But I still have a feeling that another sweet "milled" offering will be released within the next 6 months.

What's the difference between the 107-31 and the 107-21? I'm glad these are back. I missed the boat before, I was working on the Russian family SGL 21/31. Now to start the Bulgarian family. I'll have the SLR 107 soon and hope to see the SLR 105 come back as well. My Bulgy AK74 kit gun will have to do until the 105s come back. Which would you say is the better rifle SGL's or SLR's and why? Thanks |

Unlikely we'll ever see imports of 105's ever again. Luckily I have two.
I picked up a new in box SLR107 about 8 months ago for $960 (plus tax) from a local shop, so $999 is not to bad a price. If anyone in northern Utah wants one, right now our local Cabela's has a 107 listed for $999. It has a rail installed instead of the handguards. Don't know if it's used or not. Said it had box and paperwork. |

Can anyone comment on the quality of these current offerings? I bought a 107 a few years ago and the first one that was sent to me was absolutely horrible. It had a canted FSB, the finish was very poor, and the pin that holds the muzzle brake in place had a cross pin that holds it in that was not riveted. I sent it back and got another one, but was never really happy with it and sold later on. I now have SGL 21 that is fine, but it also had an issue. The pin that holds the mag release was not riveted and would walk out during firing. I got it fixed locally and it is a keeper for sure.

SGL no longer does proper Izhmash (up arrow inside triangle) marking on the trunion, it is now on the receiver for whatever reason.
Not sure if SLR still does the circle 10 stamp on the trunion, but they should be. SLR has 4.5mm pin for folder, while SGL is 5.5mm |

Called this morning and spoke with Justin in sales and he was extremely nice and helpful. He said they had 20 left, but expect more on the way. I didn't want to wait and take the chance. The web site says up to 10 days to ship, Justin told me they are averaging more like 2-3 days. Well 3PM this afternoon I get the invoice and shipping notification from UPS, same day shipping! The better news, I already have a box of parts waiting on it to arrive. Will look like this one very soon...
