| Hi guys looking to buy a more reliable and better quality ak. I currently own a wasr. I have had only one misfire, I was bump firing which it was doing pretty well for like 20 rounds. I am looking at arsenal, the question is which is the best model in 7.62x39mm. I would appreciate any advice. |
| Little over 1k. The 107-36 comes with that arsenal made quad rail on the rifle. I have come to realize I do not need the quad rail, so I would suggest the slr 107fr. It is the exact same rifle except the fact that it comes with the standard ak103 type hand gaurds. |

I own an SLR-107F and would recommend that model (SLR-107FR obviously, since the R model is more available now).
Also I agree with keeping the hand-guards 'standard' as opposed to having rails. IF you decide you want/need a rail for an optic/red-dot or even a flashlight, go with an UltiMAK gas-tube rail. Their are some pretty good off-set mounts you could use with just the gas-tube rail, while still keeping your rifle comfortable/light-weight. |
| Why stamped over Milled? I understand weight is a good reason but is there any other reason? I have a milled than happened to be milled so it accepts all stamped furniture, which is cheaper and more plentiful. But I want to know if there are more meaningful reasons to have a stamped.? |

I would suggest a Century Arms NEW C39 V2 . First understand that Century has not been known for putting together and modifying the best looking or tightest AK's out there . Arsenal has dominated them in the fit and finish arena. HOWEvER! This New C39 V2 is a game changer. It is the best fit and finish of ANY AK AT ANY PRICE! I shit you not, it is incredible, very, very well done. It's also 100% American, not a parts kit put on a different receiver. These new C39 V2 's also have a high quality Green Mountain barrel. Furthermore these are billet milled receivers that have the SAME pattern cut as a Stamped, so it accepts all stamped furniture and add-owns. This is fantastic because there are a ton more products made for stamped AK's vs. milled. So you get the Quality fit and finish of milled, but the flexibility of stamped. You got to be sure it's the Version 2 , ( V2) best of all it's only $700 comes with 2 pmags and beautiful Black Walnut Furniture. In fact the furniture alone at IWD would cost you over $200. My first picture has furniture I just finished, not the factory, second pic has factory
Anyway, these are receiving outstanding reviews and they all say the same thing. Wow !

| I own three Arsenal's they are beautiful , but recently , as a project base I bought a Century RAS47 I have to say I was shocked at how nice a rifle it is at the price point. I would tell you have a close look the new all US made Century AK's RAS47 and C39 V2. before dumping the cash for the Arsenal. |
I am partial to my SAM7SF-84

Quoted:
Sam 7-sf is a very nice rifle. As is the 107fr, 107cr, and 107ur... The middy 107cr is my favorite by far, handles better and looks too sexy. i love my 107CR SBR, bought it a long time ago and sat on it until SBR's were legal in my state and finally got to form 1 it 2 years ago. haven't touched my 107FR or SAM7 SF since. |
