I have been so impressed by 5.45 that I spent the last 12 years focused only on that caliber, and have been really happy with it. I suppose it will always be my go to caliber due to my undying love for the AK74, however, as prices continued to climb on all the Izhmash rifles I thought it would be a wise to add an SGL21 and do an AK103 clone before prices went the way of pre-ban Chinese rifles

I landed a good deal on a very reasonably done SGL21-94 and am enjoying shooting it. I never disliked 7.62x39, in fact it is quite a lot of fun, but 5.45 was like crack to me and took over my AK world in a big way. Happy to say I am enjoying the AK103 again and just like the SGL31, the 21 is a fine shooter


This is one of the original imports with the Izhmash marked trunnions, manufactured in 09

With true black military mag

With 1P87 and 3x magnifier. This is a really nice shooting package and quite a bit of fun

With 1P63 Obzor

With 1P78 Kashtan. However, this is the 5.45x39 reticule. I have not seen a single 7.62x39 Kashtan anywhere

Still cool, 20 round Hungarian tanker mags
