Hi guys.  I went into the gun store the other day to put a deposit on a VEPR, and sa that he had a Arsenal SAM7 sitting there on the shelf.  He gave it to me for $589, and I took a case of Wolf ammo for $89.00.  Before I shoot it, is  there anything I need to know(tips/suggestions) other than maybe a quick cleaning before I bring it out?  Thanks.

Clean, lube, enjoy. That's a great price on a great rifle. My SA M-7 has a 1/2% failure rate with Wolf ammo (maybe due to the spring loaded firing pin) but is 100% with Silver Bear.

Congrats!!  That's a pretty good price BTW.  

My SAM-7 needs little mnx., unlike my AR.  If she's brand new, all I'd do is clean out the bore and wipe off the excess oil/grease before I'd take it out to the range.  

No problems at all with w/Wolf or Bear after about 2000 rds.

Snake the bore once then boil off any excess oil/grease with 500 highspeed rounds from that case you bought.

Do you know how to bumpfire?

just clean the pipe, oil/rease up the moving contact points and let it lap itself in. you will notice it smoothing out as it deburrs itself and laps in the sliding surfaces.

have a sight tool ready, in case you need to move the point of impact to suit your sight picture.

have fun!

No.  After starting my colection with AR15's and 10's, I'm unfamiliar with bumfiring.  Maybe a quick refresher for the newb? Also, I orderd some of the 30rd waffle mags from kvar.  ~$10...were those the right ones,and is that a decent price?

There was a good link for it sometime ago.  I'll see it I can dig it up for you.

Yep, those are the ones.  Excellent mags at a good price.  Much lighter than the steel mags, and work just as good.
