Looking at buying an Arsenal SAM-7 model, but wanted to ask about two things. First, what are the differences between the regular rifle and the carbine, besides overall length? Secondly, what advantages/disadvantages with the muzzle brake on the rifle? I know reduced recoil, quicker followup, more muzzle noise, etc. but does the AK rifle really need a brake? Just curious, new to these rifles. Thanks for any thoughts. |

the only aks i've shot is a hungarian model. 7.62x39. the recoil wasn't that great. i own an ar-15 and didn't notice a whole huge differance. and if you've shot an ar you no it is a kitten to shoot. i don;t like brakes, but want the scope rail on the sam-7s so it is a necessary evil to "cope" with the brake to get the scope rail. don't know if this helps, but i tried. |

More new to SAM-7 questions. If the AW Ban does sunset, can a sidefolding stock be added to the SAM-7? From what I heard, the muzzlebrake on this rifle is VERY effective for directing the hot gasses out of your line of sight during night time shooting. bwahhahaha |
I tested the standard SA M7 and SA M7 Carbine in low light at sundown. The muzzle brake is a pretty good flash hider! Without the brake, the Carbine produces a fireball the size of a basketball. The brake reduces that to about the brightness of the amber parking lights on your vehicle. |
