After searching around here apparently this was an old problem on the SLR-106 type rifles... Sure enough, My sn is in the AB range.
It is the first time I have fired the rifle after having it over a year. Do you guys have any experience with Arsenal and shipping rifles back to them for the fix? Also, I have another SLR-106CR that is also in the AB range and has not been fired yet... What says the AK junkies here.... |

How isit decifered The rivet that retains the mag release is a pain to reinstall. I'd send that rifle back for that alone. What kind of failures are you seeing? WHat mags? What ammo? BSW |

for what its worth regarding the supplied 5 round mag ––my 107fr didn't run well with it,
works like a charm with all others. the 5 rounder is in the stored box never to see the light of day. |

I've seen a couple of 106UR that the mag release pin was drifting out. The factory did not properly flare out the ends to eliminate the problem....
I have also seen a couple of CR's where the feed ramp fix was not properly machined out ––- All in all my 106's (FR's) have the mods and are really good, solid shooters |

Should I ship these back to Arsenal or have a local gunsmith do the ramp fix?
Also, are there diffrent markings for GEN I and GEN II type magazines... specifically the M-74NC smoke ones... I have a shit ton and am thinking I have all Gen I types.

Let them fix the problem (Arsenal) a gunsmith may not know exactly the angle of the bevel that needs to be milled..
Not sure on the smoke mags but the Gen 1 mags ribs did not go around the whole mag body and they also deleted the spoon holder for a stripper clip guide on top of the mag. BUT from what I have heard and I might be wrong - if you do have the mod done to the rifle both gens of mags should be alright... I have 20 mags for mine and they all work |

I appreciate the input guys.
I sent them back to arsenal. I really like these rifles and want them to run like a sewing machine.

Not to hijack this thread, but can someone explain to me what problems have been encountered with the SLR-106CR? I have one that starts with AB in the SN# and just shot it the other day. No feeding problems and shoots straight, but has major trigger slap. My finger was tingling after just 10 rounds.
