I'll add my findings to the pot. There arent a lot of good threads on these 106's.

I have just under 1000rds through my 106FR. I have had two malfuntions, one of which is definetly ammuntion related. The rim broke off of the case and the rifle failed to extract. Second malfuntion, failure to extract but the rim was intact.

Ammo was TULA from walmart. Ammo seems ok, some cases appear to have a rough finish, and there is often excess copper around the neck of the case from when the bullet was seated during manufacture. I do beleive this ammo was to blame for both malfuntions. Those two are my only malfunctions in ANY AK platform.

Accuracy is great, recoil is extremley low. The rifle handles great, the folding stock is the best I have ever seen or used. It locks up with zero play. Rifle is also very light. Magazines are of exceptional quality.

I got mine for $650 from K-var which was a steal. These are great rifles, and I would buy another if the price wasn't so high now days.
