Arsenal SAM5-94 Rifle, 5.56x45mm, 30-Round

The Arsenal SAM5-94 rifle in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO brings Arsenal’s Bulgarian milled-receiver construction to the 5.56 platform, giving AK-pattern shooters access to widely available NATO ammunition. Arsenal Firearms builds the rifle with a 16.3-inch, chrome-lined, hammer-forged barrel and a 1:7 twist rate suited to a full range of 5.56 bullet weights, and the semi-automatic action feeds from a 30-round detachable magazine. The muzzle carries 14x1mm threads for the included removable muzzle brake, and a bayonet lug and scope rail add further versatility. A 3-sided Picatinny handguard on the AR-M5F rail system gives ample mounting space for accessories, and the intermediate-length buttstock keeps the rifle balanced. The rifle carries adjustable sights, sling swivel studs, and weighs 9.45 pounds. Among 5.56-chambered AK rifles, this configuration favors shooters who want Arsenal’s milled-receiver quality with NATO-standard ammunition compatibility.
