I just received my LaRue QD offset light mount from Grant at G&R Tactical today, and I slapped it on my Arsenal Inc. SLR-106FR that I installed an Aimpoint Comp M2 on an Ultimak yesterday.
When I first saw the picture of the light ring mounted on an AR, I thought that it looked low profile enough to mount in front of the Aimpoint on the Ultimak, and should fit fine if I reversed the mount and used it for the left hand side. It is, and I can even use my iron sights as well.
The light does contact the Aimpoint, but it doesn’t seem to effect the POA of the dot in relation to the co-witness of the iron sights.
The light mounts at the 10 o’clock position on the left hand side of the rifle, and I can easily activate the light with my support thumb.
Damn you, Templar.
I had finally talked myself out of finding a 5.45 AK and you keep posting pics of a 5.56 one!
With my large stocks of 556 ammo, It’d be a no brainer!
What about a SBR’d SLR-106CR? Or maybe just a SLR-106FR, as I like muzzle velocity.
Ultimak gas tube and a T-1 Aimpoint which would leave room for my beloved IWAL2 IR laser or Surefire Scout light & offset mount, a QD swivel mount to the front hand guard and lower PRI rail mount like on my A1R for a lefty sling setup and a bipod mount or forward verticle grip compatibility, 20 magazines, a Bulgy flash suppressor, and she’d be good to go.
I have a soft spot for 5.45 AKs (I am aware that this one is not). I sold my only AK about 18 months ago, and I kinda miss her. So I started a work-up on a 5.45 Tantal to morph her into a fighting gun.
After I figured out exactly what direction I wanted to take I had amased nearly $1500 in accessories, not counting initial rifle purchase price, magazines, or ammunition.
This cannot be right. Maybe I need to find a dictionary and look up this “practical” thing you are referring to. . .
I also think the E series light would work great with this application, but I’m running with what I had on hand.
Edwin, that set up sounds great. I have a 20 rd. mag for the 106FR and it’s great for sighting in and just as a very compact package with the stock folded, if’n you ever needed to have one up with you in the driver’s compartment of a vehicle, the 20 rd. mags are great.
Here is my go-to. I have a Krebs peep sight and an Ak Concepts brake. Other than that nothing crazy. I think I am going to swap over to a standard swell handguard.
I too bought this fine rifle,but I couldnt resist,I bought two. I would really love to get a Molle mag pouch (I’d prefer a 3 mag pouch, side by side version,so they lay flat) I bought one through Cheaper than Dirt,which is really nice,but the 5.56 AK mags wont fit. Their too long and wide. I want to put it on a drop leg Molle set up.Is there anyone out there that makes a Molle pouch for these unusually sized mags??
Bulldog, I used Springfield Armory ring from Brownells http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/productdetail.aspx?p=17463&st=817-000-003&s=30128 mounted to an Ultimak M2-B, which has the gas port holes. The M1-B does not have the holes. My 106 runs great with the extra gas port holes, which are on the original milled AK-47, but I could have also run it without. The Hungarian AKM’s use an AKM gas block (with gas ports) and an AK-47 gas tube (which aslo has the gas ports) with no issues.
