Product Overview

The Arsenal SAM5 5.56mm rifle brings authentic AK ergonomics and Bulgarian build quality to the modern American shooter. If you're drawn to the AK platform's reliability and handling but want a caliber suited to current ammunition availability and competitive shooting, the SAM5 delivers the classic design in 5.56x45mm with genuine military-grade construction rarely seen outside professional arsenals. This is a milled-receiver AK built for serious use—not a parts-bin assembly or a compromise.

Arsenal's manufacturing process sets the SAM5 apart. The receiver starts as a hot-die hammer-forged blank from Arsenal Co. of Bulgaria, a process that eliminates internal voids and produces stronger, finer-grained steel than bar-stock machining. Over 5.5 hours of precision milling follow, building a receiver engineered for decades of service. The cold hammer-forged barrel is hard-chrome plated inside and out, paired with a 1:7 twist rate optimized for modern 5.56 ammunition. The FIME Enhanced Fire Control Group—a favorite among AK enthusiasts—provides crisp, reliable trigger performance. Everything ships with OD Green furniture and polymer furniture, a 30-round magazine, scope rail, intermediate-length trapdoor buttstock, AK-351 muzzle brake, sling, cleaning kit, and cleaning rod.

The SAM5 handles like an AK should: the 16.3-inch barrel keeps overall length manageable at 36.5 inches, while the intermediate-length buttstock (13.4-inch pull) balances control and maneuverability. Left-hand muzzle threads and the included muzzle brake support sound management and attachment options. This rifle is 922(r) compliant and designed to work with both US and imported magazines. Whether you're running it as a precision 5.56 platform, a duty rifle, or an heirloom shooter, the SAM5's milled receiver and meticulous assembly promise the service life and accuracy serious operators expect.
