I'm looking to get a AK-74, with all the goodies: 74 break, bayo lug, and a folding stock either a skeleton or a full folding stock.
What do they run? Who should I get it from? BTW I'm not really 100% on a folding stock, So I have been giving arsenal a look. I'm not really into buying a kit and reciever then sending it off an waiting to have it built. I'm kinda impatient with my toys  |

Just to start the ball rolling, Atlantic Firearms has a ORF/Bulgarian AK-74 side-folder like you described for $699.

They're available on both Ohio Ordnance and Armory USA receivers. I don't own one yet. (I squandered my gun budget for the next couple months on a Yugo underfolder.) |

It's either between a 74 like that or an Arsenal milled 5.56

I wouldn't hold my breath on an SLR105A1 side folder, I'd go with the milled SAM5
I would pass on the OOW receiver, it was all we had for a while but is now obsolete with the Armory and Ewbangs Gen 2 |

Ok guys......
Good news first. Yes, Arsenal is still planning on AKS-74 clones (SLR-105A1's with triangular Bulgarian/Russian steel folders). Yes, they are hoping to have them out this year. Bad news. I don't know when that will happen. John and I were talking about this very thing at this time last year. Various reasons it hasn't happened yet, the Form 6 bullshit has something to do with it. Trying to get out other models as well. Anyway, yes, they are planning to offer the side folders. The stamped SLR-105A1 and A1R no bans were being sold for $575 and $600 respectively. They haven't been available for a while because........there were several rifles that made it out that had trigger slap. Something to be expected on a Century, not on an Arsenal. The went back to the drawing board for a new fire control group that is supposed to be the cat's ass and give a true two stage pull with no slap and be one of the best triggers ever available on a stamped rifle. The bitch of it is that if the rifles were the original select fire, there wouldn't have been an issue. Incidentally, if you have one of the SLR-105's that has trigger slap, they will fix it and replace the FCG on their dime. Anyway, that's one of the reasons you haven't seen the SLR-105A1 rifles out lately. If you gotta have a side folder sooner than your buddy, I'd say buy the rifle and then have one installed by one of the reputable smiths. Hope that helps. Obligatory SLR-105A1 pics      |

Thanks templar I really wanted a side folder, but I might as well, get the full stock arsenal rifle and put the russian side folder on it in the future. Thanks again Templar.

jnewt will do the conversion i think, but its pricey. When the 105 thread went up early on it was an option, but its no longer there. You could check with him. It doesnt make much sense anymore to have either a fixed stock, or folding stock 74 built off a kit, given the 105 pricing. Glad i got mine built earlier this year when they were relatively cheap, but i may be drooling a bit when the factory folders finally make it to the market. |

My advice on the kit builds is to be careful. There are smiths of questionable ability and reputation cranking out hundreds of low-grade '74s. Elite FireArms comes to mind. Ask the vendor who buo,t them. RedJacket and Vector seem to have good reps, as well as InRange and ORF.
You can always buy a converted SLR-105 with accessory and bayo lug from AKUSA for around $850. That should do you up perfectly for the fixed-stock version. Then again, for a mere $1600 or so you can buy a perfect AK-74M clone from Marshall Arms... |

You could also get one of these kits and have it built up by a good smith, a reconditioned folder for $279 + $100 for US parts and $300 or so in labor and shipping.
