Arsenal is the premier American Importer and manufacturer of semi-auto AK variant rifles. Arsenal is proud to offer this Bulgarian made SAM7R. The Arsenal SAM7R-61 is a semi-automatic version of the AK-47 chambered in 7.62x39mm. It features a 16.3" Cold hammer forged barrel from Arsenals Bulgarian factory built on Steyr manufacturing technology. The milled receiver requires over 5.5 hours of milling prior to assembly.

The BEST AK bar none
This is by far the nicest variant offered in the USA. I looked at and researched AK 47's for a long time. Reading about them calling gun stores & asking many questions (to the point of annoying some of them) as well as going to gun stores & seeing many other different AK 47's from other manufacturers & holding them. At one gun store they had AK 47;s but not the SAM7R however when I spoke with the owner of the shop he went into the back and brought out his ARSENAL milled AK 47 and showed it to me. I held it & my decision was made. Most AK 47's feel like they are put together with hinges and rattle and flex & the action was rough as hell. This AK is NOT like that. It feels like 1 single solid piece of steel w/o any moving parts it is so tight. It has never failed not even 1 time. I did have a dud round where the primer was struck but the round did not fire due to it being the cheapest ammo. That is not the fault of the rifle. This is the best if you want something else, when compared to this AK you will be purchasing GARBAGE. (except for a VEPR AK 74) Pros: Fit Finish are impeccable Butter smooth action

I did ALOT of research on
I did ALOT of research on AKM variants before spending my money on this one. Yes, it was expensive, but yes, Arsenal AKs ARE THAT NICE!!! This thing is a gem. All numbers match, all parts are new. Fit and finish are perfect. Functions flawlessly on cheap, steel cased Tula ammo. The factory handgrip sucks, but after another $15.00 on a Houge grip, good to go! The trigger is....well...different. It's LONG and light, with a glock-like reset. But, when I say long, I mean it. If your in the AKM variant market, consider one of these, you won't regret it.

my first reaction was it
my first reaction was it came with a 5 round mag and not the promised 10 round mag. It was cover and splattered with oil which I will have to clean up. So far for the money I am not impressed.

I've always wanted one of
I've always wanted one of these and finally got my hands on one via CTD. This Heavy Hitter lives up to the HYPE. It will take a pounding and keep on pumping lead down range. The order process was easy and picking it up from my local FFL was a delight. This weapon system is fast becoming my favorite 7.62 x 39mm. It may even surpass my Norinko SKS!
