I still own but don't fire my Arsenal 5.45 rifles anymore, I still have several cases of 7N6 though.

Wolf black box is easy enough to find, it's hard trying feed multiple calibers...

I'm thinking of picking up one more....maybe a Rifle dynamics gun or send my Arsenal out there. Option 2 is an Arsenal 104. I haven't decided

Sweet and good for you. I took the plunge again and picked up a 104 as well!! Shoots great, as expected. Buy once, Cry once.

shot it this weekend. I could not believe the groups i was shooting with a red dot at 100yrds. It's an accurate rifle, and an amazing shooter.
However, the action does hiccup at the bolt. It caused no issues shooting, but i am contemplating whether I should smoothen out the bolt, hammer, etc..

Hiccup as in jam/malfunction or the trigger isn't that smooth with the bump I'm the hammer.

no malfunctions, it's probably mostly caused by the bump in the hammer. i am thinking of just filing that down, so the bolt can move more freely, and easily.

I did the same to one of mine. It smoothed everything out. Polished the action as well. Shots really fast and kicks like a .22

excellent, i will start working on it tonight. Did you use sandpaper or just polish it?
i just ordered an alg trigger. The stock trigger has way too much creep.
Overall, i really like the rifle, and i'll be putting a lot of lead downrange with it this year.

I dremilled the hump out then polished it. I forget the YouTube video, but it was easy, and a long time ago. I would skip the ALG trigger and buy ammo/mags.

Or.........
Get out of 5.45 and sell me your mags cheap!!!!!

I just bought one at an auction for $450. It's in almost new condition just a little bit of carbon. Might blast it off with some walnut shells or something. Shoots awesome and glad I bought it. Been looking for ammo so far only have 400 rounds. What are ya'll doing to your hammers also are there any recommendations I should do to a stock 74?

i have some tapco mags. i hate those mags. All my tapco ar mags don't last more than 2 years, and now my ak 74 tapco mags are breaking. I am sure the pmags will be better, though i hear people complaining about pmags on aks.

I've been shooting 74's for a couple of years now - mine run great regardless of the mags I've used. The Govt surplus is the best, but you have to be vigilant about cleaning up afterwards. It's a heck of a little zipper of a round...
