The Arsenal SAM7UF-85 delivers authentic Bulgarian military heritage in a premium milled receiver AK-47 platform. This rifle combines traditional craftsmanship with modern reliability standards for serious collectors and shooters who demand authentic Eastern Bloc engineering.
What Makes This Different
Unlike stamped receiver variants, the SAM7UF features a solid milled steel receiver machined from a single block of ordnance-grade steel. This construction method, identical to original Soviet military specifications, provides enhanced rigidity and longevity compared to standard stamped alternatives. The underfolding stock mechanism utilizes the same engineering as military-issue rifles, maintaining zero when folded and deployed repeatedly.
Key Features
- Milled steel receiver machined from solid ordnance-grade steel block
- 16.25-inch chrome-lined barrel with 1:10 twist rate for 7.62x39mm
- Authentic Bulgarian underfolding stock with military-spec locking mechanism
- Standard AK sight radius with windage-adjustable rear sight
- Compatible with standard AK-74/AK-100 series magazines
- Side-mounted optics rail for scope and red dot mounting
- Black polymer furniture with enhanced grip texture
Field performance demonstrates the reliability expected from military-specification manufacturing. The chrome-lined barrel maintains accuracy through extended firing sessions while resisting corrosion in adverse conditions. The underfolding stock reduces overall length to 27.5 inches when folded, making it suitable for confined spaces while maintaining full functionality. Accuracy typically groups within 2-3 MOA with quality ammunition at 100 yards.
