Arsenal SAM5 5.56mm Rifle - 16.3" Barrel, 30-Round Capacity, ODG Finish$2,222.50
Availability: In Stock
The Arsenal SAM5 5.56mm rifle brings Bulgarian-made precision and durability to the American shooter looking for a modernized AK-pattern platform. Built on a milled and hammer-forged receiver—a production method that eliminates internal voids and produces finer-grained steel than bar-stock machining—the SAM5 combines time-tested AK ergonomics with the intermediate cartridge that dominates North American shooting ranges and hunting grounds. At 16.3 inches, the barrel strikes a balance between velocity and handling, while the gray furniture and scope rail ready it for optics without sacrificing the rifle's clean lines.
This isn't a parts-kit build; Arsenal delivers 100% new-production components, starting with a cold hammer-forged barrel hard-chromed for corrosion resistance and longevity. The FIME Enhanced Fire Control Group smooths the trigger break, and the US-made intermediate-length trapdoor buttstock keeps length of pull practical for most shooters. The left-hand 14x1mm muzzle threads accept the included AK-351 brake, and the removable muzzle device means you can adapt the rifle to your mission. One 30-round gray magazine comes in the box, along with a cleaning kit, sling, and oil bottle—everything you need to get running right away.
The milled receiver separates the SAM5 from stamped-receiver variants. Arsenal's process—hot-die hammer forging followed by over 5.5 hours of milling—produces a receiver engineered for decades of service. Shooters and collectors alike value this rifle for its build quality and the engineering philosophy it represents: no shortcuts, no compromises. Whether you're zeroing at the range or testing reliability in the field, the SAM5 delivers the accuracy and consistency that only a properly executed rifle design can provide.
