Arsenal SAM5 Rifle, 5.56x45mm, AK-74 Front Sight, Black

The Arsenal SAM5 rifle in 5.56x45mm (.223 Remington) with an AK-74-type front sight block and AK-133S flash hider is the civilian semi-auto version of the Arsenal Bulgarian-made AR-M1 select-fire rifle. Arsenal mills and forges the receiver, chrome-lines the 16.3-inch hammer-forged barrel, and cuts 24×1.5mm right-hand muzzle threads for the flash hider. The rifle includes a FIME Enhanced Fire Control Group for a shortened, smoother trigger pull, black polymer furniture, an intermediate-length buttstock, and a scope rail for optics. A 30-round M-74N Circle 10 magazine ships with the rifle. Among AK rifles, this SAM5 configuration favors shooters who want AK-74 heritage in a widely available 5.56 chambering.
