A few months ago I bought a NIB SA-M-7 fixed stock classic. As fate would have it I was presented the opportunity to buy a second NIB example. I couldn't refuse. My first one is very nice indeed but the flimsy Arsenal box is pretty well beat up. This latest one came with a sleeve that protects the factory box and it remains in like new condition. To the best of my understanding Arsenal only produced 3 runs of 300 units over the years? This makes these classic's far more rare than any of the Polytech or Norinco guns that sell for 4K and up in NIB condition.

Never heard that one? It's NIB and going to stay that way. Great investment.

I know where #002 of the first, original batch resides. Unfired.

He said more rare than polytech and Norinco hahaha that was a good one……yea no


You know that Arsenals are the rejects they send over correct?  Just because they did a limited run of their over priced garbage doesn’t mean they will ever be as rare as China made…….sorry op you wrong

They play this freaking game from time, to time. They suddenly find 20, or 30 Classics in the warehouse they “forgot they had”. Then they jack up the price another $200 since the last time they found an unknown bunch of them. Guess that’s how they do business in Bulgaria. GARY

China and their stateside import partners brought in hundreds of thousands of rifles every year until the import ban. I confirmed this with KFS when discussing my rifle on the phone with them.

I’ve got an SLR101s (predecessor to the SAM7) that I’ve taken out to 600 yards with a red dot at Kalashni-Con.
I love that gun.
Will not sell it.

Still need more 7.62x39 though.

He doesn't because it's false.

Nice. I have a sam7 uf that I'll never sell although they did start making them again about a year or so ago.


I have a stamped and milled arsenal and from what I can tell the milled is a far better rifle even though the stamped are more desirable.

I'd like to pick one of these up sometime, but prices on listings are above $3K and I'm not a buyer over $3K
