Really good video , Great info , I still have a brand new 107FR ,7 years now and for personal reasons ,still in the original box , so I put the rifle info in and your video came up . Thanks very much. Enjoyed it very much.

[@huckleberry602]

Really enjoy watching a video from a guy who appreciates the practicality of an affordable rifle set up. Not all of us are professional mercs with money to burn, but we still want a nice weapon system.

Aye yo you got the boo boo dimples just like me. My FR came with flatten rivets and a crease on the front trunnion with nice dimples. My factory SBR UR came with only one flattened rivet , but really lame dimples I tried to exchange it with Kvar but it was past the 30 day return mark. I “demanded (lol)” to speak with the higher ups but to no avail. It took 2 months for the NFA transfer to my FFL I was told it was a no go. We ran every different mag they had at the store and it made no difference there was absolutely no wobble. I told them how they could transfer me back to the sales rep because I would like to place an order for a factory SBR CR I was treated pretty poorly after that, “well you do understand I can’t go back to the warehouse and check every rifle for nice dimples on your CR order” I didn’t even ask. Trust me I’m in the bracket of “ItS A tOoL” and I thrash my shit, but the UR was the only one I wanted as a home defense queen. Ive since acquired a CR used market that is immaculate. This was just as Kvar unveiled their “inner circle jerk” I got the last of the Arsenal in-house stamped guns as it looked like you also have, I have no qualms with arsenal only with Kvar lmao.

[@FirearmFreedom]

I couldn’t agree more I think KVAR has not made the best decisions lol, thanks for the comment!

[@tjwest13]

Lookin good!

[@FirearmFreedom]

Thanks man!

[@andrewtrask9650]

Only think i did to mine was get a tapco g2 and polished it smooth like butter there is alot of hatters of the g2 but i love mine after buttery smooth polish and i also changed out the grip for a hogue and this is my favorite gun to shoot only other thing i would change is the butt stock im 6'3 and its a little short if anyone has any ideas on a longer butt stock let me know

[@tommyguns14able]

No hammer trigger pin retainer plate? Still using the paper clip?

[@FirearmFreedom]

Ya I haven’t had an issue with it honestly although the retainer plate is a nice upgrade

[@zacharybrink5088]

I like the ultimak because one can still use a dot and light while still being foldable. The magpul hand guard may not have the pure look but for the money it offers a great value and heat shielding.

[@FirearmFreedom]

I totally agree it is definitely a great option for that folding capability, it has really started to become my favorite way to run a light and optic

[@Jordan-th8ps]

Great review. Good to hear that about the PA dot holding up well in the ultimak

[@FirearmFreedom]

Ya I was very pleased with it I still have not run into issues 👌🏻

[@synethesiaserpent3538]

Great to see someone else running their 107fr the same way I do with a dot on an ultimak. My replacement Primary micro red dot has been through 4 cases of ammo so far no issues. When I first got it I shot around 1k then decided to shoot around 600-700 rounds in a 2 hour range session till the dot was smoking hot to the touch. Kept running for around two months then died, PA replaced it no problems and it's been running great so far. Still run the gun fast, no problems so far.

[@FirearmFreedom]

@@synethesiaserpent3538 for sure, I love running AKs with this set up

[@denniskopecky9124]

Very Nice rifle. I will just have to get by with my Zastava M70 ZPAP. Dennis.

[@rmossman88]

I chose a zastava over an arsenal. The zpap looked and felt better to me. Zastavas are solid, I’ve been very impressed.

[@FirearmFreedom]

That’s alright Dennis you still have a very good rifle there!

[@pitbull004]

Which magazines would you recommend?

[@FirearmFreedom]

For any AK I would go with anything that actually fits in the gun. Each one is gonna have different things when it comes to fitment.

[@jessekaiman5182]

That shit nice.

[@FirearmFreedom]

Thanks man!

[@sheogorad1]

Comment for algorithm

What are the other options for folding butstock other than a triangle fold (4.5 pin)?

[@FirearmFreedom]

You have 5.5mm as well

[@danripp8917]

People are asking crazy prices for Arsenals. I want one but people are taking advantage of the market. Trying to make money or get it all back. One guy has a zenitco rail on his and wants 2k…. I know those rails are pricy but still

[@FirearmFreedom]

Ooof ya unfortunately the market for these guys is just horrendous right now

[@Thorax321]

Damn dude 640$!!!! Just paid over 1k for my Zastava!

In this case I believe I was using the bank robber rig and the micro fight.

[@pixelfacekillah]

Looks great! The only thing I would change is moving that optic back considering that it has a rail mount. I suggest an Arsenal sm13, if you can find one.

[@rymic72]

The problem with doing that is that you can’t fold the stock then.

[@pixelfacekillah]

@@rymic72 Yeah, it wont lock, but you can still toss it in a pack. But that's the trade off. Or f it and go full "Alfa" and throw a zenitco dust cover and furniture on there. Joe also check out sovietstocks.com he has Bulgarian triangle folding stocks. 👌

[@FirearmFreedom]

Caesar I actually just did pick up a triangle side folder from them 😏 stay tuned for it in a future video! And honestly I don’t mind having it further up on the rifle it works pretty well and I don’t have to worry about spending the coin in a zenitco

@@FirearmFreedom I got mine last November. I paid $1,400 with the enhanced trigger. But I felt if I didn’t get it then next time it would be over $2000.

7:03 real tacticool when it looks like youre wearing a diaper 😂. Y these guys wear the ball buncher strap these days is hilarious. To much garand thumb wannabes

[@FirearmFreedom]

Not trying to be tactical it just holds the holster still while your moving at the range and doesn’t let the holster give you any hot spots. It’s also practical for your draw on the pistol from the holster by keeping the pistol rigid and in the same spot. I really could care less about how I look at the range man.
