Nice…how do you like the SF rai?

C4IGrant · February 25, 2007, 9:37pm

So far, I like it a lot. We shall see if I still like it after the AK class.

Grant,

does that Docter Optic sit as high as an Aimpoint in an Aimpoint low ring? Thanks.

C4IGrant · February 25, 2007, 10:27pm

I think it sits a little lower (just a hair). This is why I chose it over the Aimpoint (which was my second choice).

How did you like putting on the SF rail?

C4IGrant · February 26, 2007, 2:05am

The rail wasn’t so bad. Removing the factory HG’s SUCKED!

Nice! It looks like mags will easily clear the TD VFG when being rocked in. What kind of sling are you going to use? Are you selling SLR’s now too?

Nice…love it.

Snake_RAH · February 26, 2007, 5:49am

Grant,

Thanks for the reply. I think I want to try the Docter now.

C4IGrant · February 26, 2007, 1:57pm

I am thinking very hard about installing the VLTOR AK RE-47 and then going with the Vickers two point sling.

I am now stocking Arsenal Ak’s.

Thanks.

Grant,

That is a nice-looking setup, very similar to my own in many ways. I’ll be very interested to see how everything shakes out in class. I think that’s four confirmed SLR-106 platforms in the class to date (you, me, Templar and VADinger).

As far as changing the stock on yours, that is not an option unless you have the entire rear “trunion” removed and replaced with a traditional (non-folding) rear section. You can always install the steel triangle folder, of course, but I think you’re looking for some adjustability.

C4IGrant · February 26, 2007, 2:57pm

I was also looking at this interface from Ace.

Once again, you would need to cut and grind the rivets and completely replace the rear part of your rifle.

Your 106 has the following on the rear end:

Whereas a “standard” non-folding AK uses:

You might want to pick up an alternate with a conventional stock such as:

You can mod this rifle instead of hacking your 106.

C4IGrant · February 26, 2007, 3:31pm

Thanks. What I am really after is the ability to mount a Vickers 2 point sling on it. I don’t have a sling swivel where the receiver and the stock meet (which is where I like them).

Jay_Cunningham · February 26, 2007, 3:42pm

Grant, I have a Vickers 2 point mounted on mine and it works great for me. It takes a little getting used to having the sling mount on the right-hand side, but trust me - it works.

C4IGrant · February 26, 2007, 5:22pm

I wondered how that worked. Thought that it wouldn’t sit right (especially on transitions).

I was even toying with the idea of punching out the swivel and reversing it.

Jay_Cunningham · February 26, 2007, 5:41pm

Before you punch it out and reverse it, give it a try the way it is currently set up.

The metal fastener that holds the sling swivel in the stock can be a real muther to hammer back down (ask me how I know…)

[b]Dammit Grant you aint making it any easier for my wallet! I have been wanting an AK for some time now! Gotta say you got your looking good!

Grunt Out![/b]
