Arsenal SAM7K-44 AK Pistol, 7.62×39, 8.5-Inch, Milled, Black, 5rd

The Arsenal SAM7K-44 (Arsenal part no. SAM7K44) is a Bulgarian-made AK pistol chambered in 7.62x39mm, built around a milled receiver that Arsenal hot-die hammer forges before machining, a process that takes over 5.5 hours per receiver and produces stronger, finer-grained steel than bar-stock-machined alternatives. This configuration adds a threaded front sight block in the standard Krinkov 24×1.5mm RH thread pattern along with a Picatinny rail for rear attachments, giving shooters mounting options rarely seen on American-market AK pistols. It ships with one 5-round magazine, an oil bottle, and a cleaning kit, and it accepts any mil-spec AK magazine from 5 to 40 rounds.
