| Found a SAM7R at a local retail store that has caught my eye, wondering about overall impressions from those that have one; I've read that they can be finicky about magazines so trying to get feedback on that and also am looking to possibly change the furniture to wood down the road but have read that milled receivers can make that a challenge. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks |

I have that rifle. Very nice action. Smooth as glass. Yes, furniture is difficult to mate to the milled reciever, but you can find it if you look. I kept mine stock with the polymer furniture. I have not had a problem with magazines like you mention, nor have I heard of it with this rifle. I runb Pmag AK 30's, Circle 10's, and AIM Surplus bakelights. I shoot HP, FMJ, and SP ammo through it without malfunction. Other than the steep pricetag, it is a fantastic rifle. I guess you could call me a satisfied customer   |

Ironwood Designs has wood furniture for milled rifles. |

I had one the action was slick but I kept thinking no AK is worth this kind of money so I traded it for a noveske afghan. I feel ya... I only have one AK and it is the Sam7, I could never bring myself to hock it, mainly because then Id be out of my only AK! |

Very reliable gun, top quality. I'm just not into milled guns with 90 degree gas blocks & AKM barrels. GARY Thats just the way Bulgaria makes them...they are great. |

Mine ran without a single issue. All magazines worked fine, I ran yugo BHO and Circle 10 waffles. Hell, the damn thing even fed and fired a .223 round by mistake... oops. Didn't seem to care. Shot great. I loved it. Sold it to afford police academy. I paid 1300 for it. Now I'm waiting on an arsenal slr107 to come in.. ill see if I prefer the stamped or milled. |
