medved11 71 Posted April 7, 2017 I had a 107 but sold it recently to fund another purchase. Mine was well put together (no canted sights and the finish was even). My only "complaint" is the stock Arsenal trigger, which I replaced as soon as it came out of the box with a G2. I put about 500 rounds through mine before I let it go and never had any issues at all.

Njbanshee 9 Posted April 10, 2017 I hear they have bad finish issues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medved11 71 Posted April 11, 2017 I hear they have bad finish issues Arsenal guns have reputation for having a finish that doesn't stand up too well to the more aggressive cleaners. I've used SLIP 2000 and M-Pro 7 on my mine and never had a problem with any of the finish coming off during cleaning. The only spot that I've ever seen any (very very minor) bubbling is right around the gas block on my SAM7. I've kept an eye on it since I first noticed it and it hasn't gotten any worse or spread (after putting another ~500+ rounds through it) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted April 11, 2017 it's not really a finish, but paint. Arsenal reps told people are shotshow that the paint they use is the same they use on military issue guns. you can almost scrape it off with your finger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leo-польд 34 Posted May 9, 2017 Got mine from my FFL/NJ legal, terrible painting job by Arsenal but if you don't care - it is good AK. Looking for good cerakoting service in NJ to repaint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't personally own one however, I have seen several at the range I belong to and the owners have had good things to say about them. They also brought up their worries of the finishing issues on the barrels as mentioned by the AK Operator's Union in one of their videos. However I personally haven't seen any strange wear or bubbling on the ones I've seen. That being said, I have zero clue how many rounds they've put through it. I personally am thinking of selling my C39V2 for one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,101 Posted July 17, 2017 I bought 107 parts kit from AK builders and a nodak spud receiver. I'll be painting mine when it's done. I'm also not using AK furniture but instead AR buffer tube, stock, rail system, gas block front sight. Shortened the barrel as well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
