As the SAM5's are hard to get, I have 2 NIB/unfired ban SAM5's and that have the pressed on flash hiders with all the original accessories in original box! question is will these be collectible as time goes on or will people just look for the no-ban ones instead?! and are thet going to make it again?

If enough consumers write or call Arsenal Inc. and express their desire to own a SA M-5, perhaps the company will take another look at production. It's all "supply and demand." As far as no-ban vs. ban, I think it makes a difference. I certainly would opt for no-ban, but I live in a very "free" state. The ability to change muzzle devices and add a bayonet appeals to me. However, given the demand for SA M-5s at the present time, I really don't think it matters that much to the general aficionado who wants one. Bud |

spaceghost, I'd just leave them alone in the condition they were purchased in. I'm not sure if the muzzle is threaded below the perm. attached brake, but the brake could be removed by a good 'smith and the muzzle threaded. Then there's the gas block...which would have to be replaced to accomodate the bayonet lug. If you can do the work yourself, I don't see a problem. However, good 'smiths are expensive. |

spaceghost two is one to many..... SELL ME ONE NOW!!!! no really Travis [email protected] |
You want my OD green SAM5 or my black SAM5? LOL!!!

Having the preban / no ban features is the main reason i picked up two of the 5 series rifles. Having a rifle that is a close as the military issue is give me goose bumps and adds a special flavor for the collection or added benifit when you decide to sell the item.
