Overview
The Arsenal SAM7SF-56 is a semi-automatic, milled-receiver AK-pattern rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, introduced in 2026 by Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada. It pairs a forged and milled receiver with a chrome-lined, hammer-forged barrel and Arsenal's hard-anodized aluminum right-side-folding stock featuring an ergonomic cheek rest and QD sling points. Equipped with an AK-140US muzzle brake, ambidextrous safety lever and a scope rail, it is built to deliver the durability and accuracy of a milled AK in a lighter, modernized package.
