I have one and it is the very best AK that I own and I have 7 very good ones. It is a little spendy but with the milled receiver it is worth it.

Yes they are a little heavier, but not enough to make it a big deal.  $1300 might be a little high, a year or 2 ago they went for $1000-$1100.  The one your looking at has black synthetic furniture, right?

I believe it does....but it is the underfolder version....I'll try to look around for a better price. I believe my local gun dealer contracts with one of Arsenal's main suppliers.

Are they really heavier than stamped rifles? and if so is there much of a difference?

NOT much.

The weight difference between stamped and milled receivers is VASTLY over reported.

They are no longer in production so there's a limited # out there. $1300 is a decent price today. I ususally see them, when available, @ $1400 & higher.
The weight difference between a stamped and milled receiver is less than 6 ounces IIRC. Plus, the milled rifles are so much smoother in operation compared to the stamped versions. I was a doubter myself until I purchased my first milled Arsenal. Milled AK's are the only type I buy now.

K-Var handguards and OD green AK Saw Grip. But Veriforce Tactical also makes a pretty nice OD green grip. I use the VFT grip in black on my 7.63 Krink. Hit my up if you need a pic.

Again.....K-var

Unfortunately, it looks like they are out of the blond wood at the moment.

It looks like they have the full OD furniture set, as well as the individual upper handguard, but the lower milled is out of stock.

I think part of it was the fact that the AK47 had a heavier barrel and a milled receiver.  These modern milled guns have a barrel that is much more like an AKM barrel than an AK47 barrel.  Combine the weight savings between a lighter profiled barrel and stamped receiver you could be looking at around a pound of weight savings...

Spooky

Or I could be completely wrong...

They are the best underfolder you can get!

Unless you can find an SAS M-7 Classic.

I have a sas m-7 classic.  What's the difference?  BTW, I spent about 1300 or so for mine.  Good carbine.  I'm starting to see some of them on the net for 1400 to 1500 now.

The difference is the SAS M-7 Classic has blond furniture, a 45 degree gas block and a milled folding stock with a noticeable drop to it.
The SAS M-7 has black polymer furniture, a 90 degree gas block and a stamped folding stock with no drop.
