I'd love to have enough to make a full case,I wonder how many that would be.........Hmmmmmmmm...........I'd guess 24.
Close but F-1's are shipped 25 to the case. Each grenade is stored in it's own cubicle wrapped in oil paper. They are stored with a bakelite shipping plug installed and the fuses are shipped in 2 circular cans.




Shipping plugs in my collection



JOHNO did you get that Bulgy F-1 from me or Erhard?

This is really the only "actual" photo I have of one of my guns. It's one of the first fifty no-ban SA M7 Carbines Arsenal produced. For trivia fans, it was made with the skinny bolt and corresponding bolt carrier like the SLR101's. Only the first fifty carbines were made this way, as they were advertised as the "last batch at the old price." It's my shooter, and has definitely gotten some scratches on it. I hope someday to purchase another SA M7 Carbine with the standard stemmed bolt, and keep it in mint condition.

When this photo was taken, the gun had a ribbed receiver cover and the longer NATO length stock. I was in the process of making it look as much like an AKM as possible, hence the slant brake also.

After installing a laminated stock, complete with a hand-fitted AKM lower handguard with finger swells, I found that the stock became wobby after only a couple hundred rounds. I retightened the screws, and it was STILL wobbly.

To make a long story short, I abandoned the attempt to make it look like an AKM. I put the short polymer stock and polymer handguards back on the rifle, and put the smooth receiver cover back on it. Since the slant brake was hand-fitted to this rifle, I do still occasionally shoot/carry/show off the gun with the slant brake on it.

Nothin' wrong with that brake. I've got one on my Carbine as well. Looks good.

The stock in the pic looks like it's NATO length.
It is. In the process of switching temporarily to the laminated stock, the screw holes in that NATO length stock got kinda buggered. So when the laminated stock didn't work out, I just put the Warsaw pact length stock on it and it's back to factory configuration.

A swap out the romanian for a bulgarian sling. :mrgreen:

The funny thing is: the early Arsenals came with Romanian slings, believe it or not.

Later ones came with the green canvas sling; still others came with a black nylon sling.

When I switched from post-ban to no-ban, all my canvas green Bulgy slings went with the trades. I've got an ammo can full of green Romy nylon slings, and just enough black Bulgy nylon slings for my SHTF weapons.

My SLR-105 with Russian MVD case, a mix of black Bulgarian mags, and some DDR mags. This was prior to my purchase of a Bulgarian 45 rounder.



Went to a local gun show, and picked up a DDR folding stock for $50 so I grabbed that up:








I think the SLR-105 looks nice with the DDR folder. Eventually that FSB is getting replaced with a threaded version so I can mount the muzzle break.
