For shooters who want the durability of an AK platform combined with modern semi-automatic ergonomics, a purpose-built rifle that balances tradition and contemporary performance is essential. Whether for range work, training, or defensive readiness, attention to materials and fire control defines long-term value.

ARSENAL SAM5 5.56x45mm AK47 rifle features a milled and forged receiver paired with a 16.3″ chrome lined hammer forged barrel for longevity and consistent accuracy.

Design and Construction

The dual approach of milled and forged receiver components gives the SAM5 a stout foundation that resists flex and maintains headspace under extended use. The 16.3″ chrome lined, hammer forged barrel resists corrosion and throat erosion, making it ideal for high-volume training and field use. The 14x1mm left-hand muzzle threads and factory AK-351 muzzle brake provide compatibility with common muzzle devices and effective recoil control for faster follow-up shots.

Performance and Handling

Chambered in 5.56x45mm, the SAM5 leverages a widely available intermediate rifle cartridge that delivers flatter trajectories and lower recoil than larger-caliber AK variants. That caliber choice makes it suitable for marksmanship work, tactical drills, and defensive roles where controllability and magazine capacity matter.

Enhanced Fire Control

The FIME Enhanced Fire Control Group is a standout feature — refined sear engagement and an improved trigger profile deliver a crisper break and more predictable reset without altering the rifle’s durability. Combined with the intermediate length buttstock and black polymer furniture, the SAM5 balances comfort and control for a wide range of shooters.

Accessories and Field Kit

Factory accessories include a scope rail for optics, a cleaning rod, bayonet lug, one 30 round magazine, sling, oil bottle, and a cleaning kit. These items make the rifle crossover-ready from the box, reducing the initial setup time before the first range session.

Arsenal’s reputation for quality manufacturing and AK heritage makes the SAM5 notable for buyers seeking a robust semi-auto in the Semi Auto category. At a retail price of $1997.99, it sits in the premium entry-level bracket for purpose-built AK-pattern rifles. View product details and pricing
