I was at my local gun shop to pick up a transfer, and this rifle was on the wall. I wasn't looking for one, but I couldn't leave it behind.
Truly excellent AK's. I've seen a few threads lately where guys who want a milled AK are asking what to buy and, short of building your own custom rifle, I think tracking one of these down is the best option.
Gordon Tech was one of several companies that assembled these, and they are widely considered to have made the "best" SLR-100H's.
They built most of these with Hungarian parts sets and all of them used Bulgarian milled receivers left over from the Arsenal USA K-101 project. I think the pistol grip on my rifle is Bulgarian, but all the other parts are Hungarian. The receivers had a gray phosphate coating from the factory, but G-Tech used dark gray for their builds.
G-Tech marked the barrels on their builds with a "G" to indicate that it had gone through their proof-load firing test.
I have several Hungarian AK-47 parts sets, and none of them have the rifle's serial number stamped onto the barrel itself, so I presume that G-Tech stamped these. It matches the serial numbers on the accompanying Hungarian parts set.
The barrel was originally threaded into the Hungarian receiver, while the Bulgarian receiver is press-and-pin. Perhaps this added serial was meant to help reunite the barrel with the other parts after the lathe work to turn the threads off was performed.
The 922r compliance parts are the gas piston and the FCG. The FCG was made by FSE.
The piston in my rifle isn't marked and I don't recognize it. Does anyone know which manufacturer made it?
These were assembled during the "Ban", so muzzle threads and bayonet lugs were forbidden. The muzzle nut was permanently affixed with a spot of weld, and the two prongs that an AK-47 bayonet locks onto were ground down. It would be about 20 minutes of work to reverse these, but I might just leave them since the work was done neatly.
Anybody else love their SLR-100H's?
