The carbine has a 90 degree gas block while the classic has a 45 degree gas block. Obviously the classic has the blonde wood furniture.
Those are the obvious differences. The reason for the price difference they only made a few hundred classics, and Arsenal of Bulgaria no long makes the parts for the classic, so there won't be any more of them. |

In addition to what dskeet said the differences between the two include.
Front sight base: Carbine: Smaller AKM style Classic: Larger AK47 style that accepts Type I "pigsticker" bayonet Barrel: Carbine: Thinner AKM style Classic: Thicker AK47 style Upper gas tube: Carbine: Un-vented AKM style Classic: Vented AK47 style The sling attaches to the buttstock of the SA M7 carbine and to the lower handgaurd retainer. On the Classic it attaches to the side of the reciever and to gas block. The SA M7 Carbine is really a Frankenstein AK as it has features found on the AK47(milled reciever), the AKM(all kinds of stuff) and the AK74(90 degree gas block). The SA M7 Classic is a copy of the Type III AK47. |

I am buying a classic on EE right now. AND my wife said that I can order another ak as a late x-mas present. I was thinking about getting the carbine to shoot and keep the classic unfired.

The SA-M7, M7S, M7 Carbine, M7A1, and M7R's all use black synthetic stocks made in the US but patterened after the Bulgarian. The Carbine uses the same stock length as the Bulgarian (Warsaw Pact length). The Classic uses a wooden stock. The stocks are interchangeable but the Classic wooden stock does not have a sling swivel on it, as the swivel is on the receiver. |

The sight base on my SA M-7 Carbine is the same size as an AK-47. It's definitely not as small as the AKM variants. Biggest difference? The Price. |

He's got it. I also had trouble getting any bayonet but the AK-74 style to fit the Carbine. The front sight base has a "rounded" opening at the front where the cleaning rod head goes. I tried fitting an East German AKM bayonet to the rifle, but it has a square fitting that butts up against this rounded opening for the cleaning rod and wouldn't lock in place. For the money, I prefer the Carbine. It's a good basic milled AK that won't break the bank. |
