Your 2025 firearms wishlist.

I had that Arsenal SLR106-FR, which was .223/5.56....when I bought it, did not realize they had added a rebounding firing pin and spring to be safe with civilian ammo, special bullet guide, and that magazines were going to be very specific single source, where AK74 mags might or might not be able to be modified to work. At the time, the world was filled with surplus AKM parts, and not much of it was of use on the 106, which bugged me, as one of my reasons for getting it over a Colt AR at same price at the time was what I mistakenly thought was a huge supply of inexpensive repair and replacement parts, showing how insufferably ignorant I was when I saw that cool Bulgarian in a local shop and after "thinking about it" for at least 25secs, bought the thing. Not sure how the magazine supply for the latest .223/5.56 sellers are today, nor how interchangeable are magazines and extractors between the assorted lines.

I actually just ordered this for 2025.

I surely have no complaints as to Atlantic. Any idea as to mags, extractors, firing pins etc availability or interchangeability or is this a one-trick pony model and parts source? Not that AKs do much breaking...

I haven’t looked into anything other than the magazines. Seems to be plenty of options with no issues there.

While I was away, watched a review by a guy who reported zero problems with several magazine types from Serbia, Arsenal, even AK74 with conversion followers, but not much of anything in parts at the WBP/USA site, while the review reported solid accuracy with cheaper ammo and zero malfs in something like 650rds...sounds like you are in for some fun.

Not a firearm but would like to have a thermal scope. I'm not going to hold my breath though. My caviar tastes on a peanut butter income says it's just going to stay on the want list.

I have to pile on this one as well! Would love to have one, but not ready to swallow the price. Have a lower end NV I picked up a few years back but it is so heavy I never use it

Also not a firearm, but might invest in a dedicated 22 can and a dedicated 30 cal can. On the firearm side, I think a Springfield Hellion might make my list.

I bought a Trijicon Reap-IR a few years ago, found I never used the thing at all, and sold it here...NVGs or a small handheld monocular I could maybe see (no pun), but not enough to ever again consider plunking down that amount of money for what amounts to (in a thermal, anyhow) a glorified digital camera which sees the exact same way, only on a different wavelength, and with same ultimate service life....maybe if I were a hundredaire.

I'd like to see a Kel Tec Gen 2.0 or S&W folding carbine in .40 cal.

Why a Gen 2 instead of a Gen 3?
