The Arsenal SLR-106 CR 5.56x45mm semi-automatic rifle is a short-barreled rifle (SBR) member of Arsenal’s SLR-106 lineup. It descends from Soviet AK-47 Kalashnikov DNA. But the SLR-106 uses a Warsaw-Pact-length folding polymer buttstock that gives this gun its Compact Rifle (CR) moniker. The gun uses a light yet rigid stamped receiver rather than a milled one Arsenal uses in many of its other guns.

The 12.5” short barrel is hammer-forged, and chrome lined for durability. It has a 6-groove 1:7” twist ratio. Exhaust gases vent from the barrel to power the system. In back is a long, triangular bar folding stock. Overall length is 33.25” which drops remarkably to just 26.6” (even with the compensator on the front) when the folding stock is folded back to the left. The all-matte black gun weighs 6.94 pounds empty.

Arsenal started up in 2000 in Las Vegas, Nevada where it remains to this day. The company imports and makes guns based on products made in the Circle 10 Factory, Arsenal of Kazanlak in central Bulgaria. It sports a lineup of shoulder-fired, gas-operated, magazine-fed semi-automatics based on 7.62x39mm, 5.56x45mm (.223 NATO), and 5.45x39.5mm calibers using forged, CNC milled or stamped receivers. Many people swear Arsenal’s AKs are the best.

This SLR-106 CR’s receiver uses a stamped receiver instead of the solid billet it uses for some of its other models. Early AKs had stamped receivers, but with the manufacturing technology of the late-1940s and early-1950s, these were superseded by solid billet receivers that were painstakingly milled. Then later, Arsenal was able to realize improvements in the stamped receiver process that make such guns lightweight and accurate.

The company’s magazines are very durable with plenty of metal/steel reinforcements at the bottom, along the inner curved frontstrap, at the feed lips on top, etc.
