Bummer was it comes with a 10-round mag, but that's easily fixed.
It does have a machined aluminum receiver, I'm told. But does that defeat the purpose of having an AK?
Nice AK - as AKs go, I guess.

Re: Nice AK - as AKs go, I guess.
An Arsenal SAM-7R AK is very fine rifle to have in one's collection. My older Arsenal has a stamped non-Saiga receiver but I'd put it up against a milled rifle any day.
They are well worth the extra money, in my opinion. Is this chambered for 7.62x39 or 5.45x39?

Nice! Arsenal makes great stuff I'm told.

very fine! You will love it!
Re: Nice AK - as AKs go, I guess.
I highly doubt the receiver is milled aluminum. Milled AKs are usually made out of steel that's been milled for the receiver. The original AK-47 was a milled version, the AKM came out in '49 with a sheetmetal receiver because it cost a lot less to produce.

Re: Nice AK - as AKs go, I guess.
A quick pass with a magnet would answer that question. But I would agree that it's probably milled steel.
