The Arsenal SAM5 is a purpose-built 5.56x45mm NATO AK rifle designed for discerning users who prioritize structural integrity and long-term reliability in a modern AK platform. Engineered with a meticulously milled and forged receiver, this rifle provides a stable and robust foundation, ensuring consistent performance under demanding conditions. Its construction directly addresses the need for enhanced durability and a predictable operational lifecycle, making it a sound choice for diverse applications ranging from competitive shooting to defensive preparedness.
Key Features
Receiver Construction
The SAM5 features a milled and forged receiver, a critical design element that provides superior rigidity and resistance to flex compared to stamped variants. This construction method enhances the rifle’s overall durability and contributes to consistent accuracy by maintaining precise alignment of critical components throughout its operational life.
Barrel & Muzzle System
Equipped with a 16.3-inch chrome-lined, hammer-forged barrel, the SAM5 is engineered for sustained precision and exceptional barrel life. The chrome lining mitigates bore erosion and simplifies maintenance, while the hammer-forged process refines the steel’s grain structure for increased strength and accuracy potential. Muzzle threading at 14x1mm left-hand facilitates the integration of various muzzle devices, with an included AK-351 muzzle brake pre-installed to mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise, optimizing follow-up shot capability.
Fire Control Group
The rifle integrates a FIME Enhanced Fire Control Group. This component is designed to provide a cleaner, more consistent trigger pull, which translates directly to improved shooter control and precision during rapid engagements or measured shot placement.
Furniture & Ergonomics
The SAM5 utilizes durable black polymer furniture, including a fixed intermediate length buttstock and a polymer pistol grip. This configuration ensures a consistent and stable shooting platform. A side-mounted scope rail is factory integrated for direct attachment of optics, facilitating rapid target acquisition and enhancing operational versatility. The rifle also includes a bayonet lug, maintaining design fidelity with traditional AK patterns.
Included Accessories
Each SAM5 rifle ships with one 30-round magazine, a sling for carry and retention, an oil bottle for routine lubrication, and a comprehensive cleaning kit to support field maintenance and ensure peak operational readiness.
