It seems that only the SLR-101 receiver is Bulgarian. The SAM7R is American made.
I also heard from my FFL that the 101 is no longer being imported. I went to Arsena's website and it does not have an MSRP listed for the 101 anymore. IMHO I'd get an 101 if you cand find one. |

That new Sam7 looks like a really nice rifle, i'd take one for $979.00, possibly even $1079.00, but not happening at $1279.00, i'll wait it out and find something else cheaper.

This is the case. I have the original Shotgun News where they test the 1st batch of SAM rifles, & this is what was stated. GARY
Arsenal's new SAM7R-61 vs SLR-101S? Or is the SAM7R only forged there then cncd over in the US? |

They are literally the same gun. Identical. I verified through KVAR, Arsenal, and through looking at the pictures online, the SAM7-R61 has import markings on it's receiver identical to the SLR. The SA-M7 is an entirely different model, as you will note, on KVAR's site.

K-Var/Arsenal just decided to rename the SLR-101 as the SAM7R-61. I have no idea why they did this, as it's confusing. But yeah, the SAM7R-61 is the exact same rifle as the SLR-101. The only difference is the name. |

The only difference is the name. Exactly. I ordered one, and they are on a 2-week backlog, but the rifle is "real" and not "vaporware", I was assured, as I added it to cart, etc. I have already bought a Phantom hider for it, 5 mags (Bulgarian 30rd waffle black plastic, are those ok? I am noob to AK), a Jim Fuller rear sight (Yes, I chose the "pretty boy" option vs. filing myself, so sue me. Do I need that tool to replace it, or can I use my non-pretty boy hands and get it done?), and and lusting hard for a black US Palm Battlegrip and a Battlecomp or Manta brake. |

Saw a SAM7R today at local fun store and they wanted $1,329.99 for it--which really isn't a huge mark up compared to everything else. Receiver marked Made in Bulgaria.
