Add me to the list of guys going back to building a new AR. I can build one in x39 for probably half or less of whatever crap k-varsenal has in store for us. Not a bad plan. I did it, twice. I liked my first 7.62x39 AR so much that I bought a second one. Had a Colt match target (the sanitized Clinton-era model) in x39 in the mid-90's, wish I had never sold it, awesome rifle, same little gunshop I bought it at had 4 of the old USA 40 round frankenmags brand new too so I bought 'em all, basically a 10 round AR mag welded to a 30 round AK mag, but they worked like a charm. Been contemplating buying/building another one for the last year, probably would have already done so, but along came the panic........ Who knows, maybe Arsenal will actually come up with something cool, but since the teaser ad already said it's part of the SAM family, my thoughts of what might be cool are dashed. |

How about an AK over-and-under in x39 and 12 gauge? You could run the x39 through mags in the conventional way, and have a pair of tubes slung under the barrel for the 12 gauge like the kel-tec ksg-15?
Add a bottle opener on that bad boy and you got yerself a weekend.

It's official. Milled SAM with triangle folding stock. For it to be a game changer the stock would have to be like the Firingline ones - with the trunnion built into the receiver and not an extension like on previous models.
Kinda joking, but someone on another forum spoke with such confidence and authority on this subject that I believe them. 
I guess we will see. It is the most plausible explanation. |

I'd be laughing for days if this was true, and they just made that drop in triangle abortion so it fits milled receivers
It would be just like them to hype something completely retarded that no one wants..lol |

| Screw it, with a little help from friends I think building is the way to go if you really want something different...i'm thinking a russian pattern milled receiver from CNCWarrior, a super-match Pac-Nor barrel, fluted, a true sub-1MOA barrel..... integral sight/gas block like the Vepr type 2 and 104's, maybe a custom rear sight block milled from scratch, with no regular sight, but a small integral picatinny rail instead so you can use a wide variety of BUIS, nice cerakote finish.....and some new way of mounting an optic if desired.....possibly an integral light mount in the front of the handguard, maybe even build the light circuitry into the handguard with a built-in switch, wouldn't be too hard, and modern LED's are tiny...... |

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u266/poorman_photo/sam7sfrtpr_zpsa4c167ce.jpg This is my reaction :| Am I reading the cost correctly? Itll retail for 1,600 after the $250 off introductory price runs its course? |

Wow......Seriously I was waiting to see this. Super let down with the supposed two years of research and building for what? I hate this did they include the year and nine months they spent talking about the rifle around a urinal in that time. At one point I allowed myself to get excited that it might be a true game changer or something at least cool. Thanks Arsenal for making me feel just like I did when I was 9yrs old and let down at Christmas great memory to relive

| If it was at least in an internal folder in a different caliber I don't think I would be bothered so much but the external folder is so hideous and cheap looking it is an offense to the milled receiver to be paired with such a atrocity. Seriously two years of work blah blah blah. At least the price wasn't completely outrageous, I was just really expecting more so I guess it is really my own fault. i am sure we will hear more when the masses are awake tomorrow. |

I'd rather have it this way as it is factory correct. |
Would have been a lot cheaper just to contact Bonesteel and get it done in less than half the time.

Quoted: So technically its just a Sam7sf just 2k cheaper. The old Sam7 receivers were Bulgarian, they were just finished here in the states. Did they do the same thing here? This rifle has Bulgarian made parts with the only non-Bulgarian parts being the necessary US compliance parts, of course. Bulgarian parts according to the SAM7SF manual: Receiver Barrel Buttstock Bolt Bolt carrier Gas piston Trigger |

Quoted: Haters gonna hate, regardless what they brought out. Not a real game changer but pretty cool, especially for $1350. Milled receiver, side folder, made in Bulgaria. I like. |

Aside from a pistol grip redesign, this rifle looks just like the original SAM7 as far as I can tell (I never bought one as I couldn't afford one!).

Sporter or 80% finished? From what I have found out, the link below they brought the old SAM series in at 80%. Just curious because the answer could mean other things are enroute from Arsenal. The reason the old ones were so expensive and in limited quantity is that KVAR had to finish/convert them and it was a question of capacity and return, so either KVAR has gone full tilt and practically set up their own arms plant, which would be awesome as that would mean we would get allot more, or something else I am missing. http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156749 |

Great video. How do you think the safety on the left side will work for a left hand shooter? It looks like a lefty shooter would have his firing hand over the safety. |
|
So, I wonder if we can skip the two year development process and just offer semi-automatic versions of what they already make?
I purchased a Sam 7 SAS; but, this is what I wanted: 
I also purchased a SAM 7K pistol; but, I wanted this; 
or, this: 
Arsenal, why don't you just get three piles of receivers, three or four piles of barrels, and just let us order what we want? |
