Thoughts on the SAM7R-61

Post by bb91 »

Anybody have any thoughts on this one? I might pick one up but they seem to be slow sells and I was wondering why.

At the price on Arsenal's site, I could see why they'd be slow sellers. You can buy a Krebs Custom for not much more than this basic, albeit well made, AK.


In researching this, I found my ultimate AK; even the name is ubercool!

If it's just the Arsenal website price I still may be in the game as I can get a new one for under $1000 out the door(below dealer cost). I'm wondering if it's a good buy even at this price. We had them out at a gun show this past weekend and while sales were brisk these weren't exactly flying off the shelf.
