With Arsenal you are getting an AK pattern rifle that militaries around the world still procure because of the quality and support. The only other AK manufacturer in this league is Izhmash-Kalashnikov Concern, which is no longer imported because of the ban. Saigas and Arsenals are the best mass produced AKs and worth every penny.
@@EliteManMonkey russia makes the best aks period. I have owned serbian, russian, bulgarian, hungarian and american made aks. Cugir in Romania is still just a Romanian ak. Basically low end of the European aks.
i have arsenals, but its far from my fav, and not the best performing by any means, idk if reddit was around 4 years ago but by the feeling i get from ur comment im pretty sure i know where you get ur info lol
@@st4y_mad787 Who the hell liked that bullshit you said? Currently own 2 imports and had an Npap I sold. The American made Centuries are the problem but CAI wouldn't be in business if they imported shit.
If you feel the itch to do another build video Atlanticfirearms has build kits on old AKs. I picked up a barreled Romanian kit, all the major components minus barrel and reciever are numbers matching and front trunnion is dated 1974. Got an old Romy stock set on gunbroker and a ALG trigger and it runs like a raped ape
@B real if you haven't considered the IWI Galil ACE, it's a worthy contender. They are made in Israel, imported by IWI in Harrisburg PA, and the quality is superb. Check out the Galil ACE 7.62x39 rifle, and comes in a pistol too. They are expensive but they'll last a lifetime, and then some.
Dude you don’t know what you’re talking about.the Arsenal is more of an authentic military ak than the American receiver century build...if the arsenal had wood furniture I think you would look at it differently.just because something “looks” the part doesn’t mean that it is.
Daniel W you can add any beautiful wood furniture you want. Do a google search of photos for “Arsenal Wood Furniture AK”. Get one! It’ll last forever and you can shoot a nice rifle for life!
@Daniel W yes yes yes, a little spendy at 129 bucks but go to Atlantic firearms and look for polish milled AK furniture, holds cleaning kit, and everything. It's mill surp and it is in great shape. Also holds a cleaning rod, I got some for my arsenal Sam7r
From what I understand the Arsenal receiver is built in America using the Bulgarian forging specs. Best receiver for production rifle? Most likely. I forgot where or who but moresy, however spelled builds receivers for nodak or childers. Both are considered top tier for American builds. I seriously have too much shit to retain to remember exactly but that’s the basics. Currently the most authentic AK you can get is the z pap. They come with their country of origin build with internals and the magazine body. The spring, follower, OR mag plate and follower are American for 922 compliance. Rest is pure YUGO... maybe some bullshit grip, brake, gas block or some shit but internally and furniture wise it’s the most complete import
The receiver is made, milled and mostly assembled in Bulgaria and then imported to the US. The sas 7 or something like that is a Bulgarian receiver milled and assembled in the US. Two different models.
It depends what you're looking for. The original AKs were more like the Arsenal rifles, so us AK guys tend to hold it in high esteem as even Kalashnikov himself praised the Bulgarian rifles as some of the finest made.
It’s basically a Bulgarian AR M1 without select fire. This is the closest you will get to a gun that is actually being fielded in hot zones around the world. The Bulgarians are selling these in the Middle East, so technically this is a weapon of war.
I've owned and fired numerous century AKs and other guns imported and/or refurbished by Century Arms. My father was a class 3 dealer for over 20 years and we live in Boca where Century is headquartered. I remember when I was a teenager we would visit the warehouse and check out all the newest stuff. Back then it was all surplus, there was all kinds of surplus handguns from everywhere and definitely no Caniks or Kalashnikovs that weren't from the Easter block. All of those AKs ran without any problem. But when they started to make their own they had some issues just like everyone else who starts to manufacture Kalashnikovs. But if you want your AK to have a serial number with your b-day you have to build it or have it built. So those cheap Century AKs make a great base to build off and learn about the design. The barrels are excellent. In my opinion all you might need to do is replace the bolt carrier and make sure the fitting is right Believe me the "cool factor" when you build your own AK is way way cooler than any AR. And no it's not milled I got my reciever from Nodak Spud The best upgrades other than a good folding stock in my opinion are the gas tube rail, a good red dot sight on top of that and a forward vertical grip. You won't need anything else except good magazines
It's 5 hours of cold hammer forging and milling/machining into each rifle. Takes 2 hours to cold hammer forge each one from my understanding with talking to Arsenal reps.
I own a Sam7 and a 107 sr. If you want an ak, they are the ones to have. They come off the same line as the 100 series made for the. Bulgarian military. They do not come any better, unless you go full custom.
Back in 2002 purchased an Arsenal SAM7 for 525.00 dealer cost from FAC in Minneapolis. At that time they only made milled receivers. Since then it has had around 23 thousand rounds of Wolf ammo through it. It has only failed about 5 times. The failures were magazine related. To this day it still has had no parts changed out. The flash suppressor is fixed and can not be removed,because of the 1994 gun bill. It has been a great gun. Also have a waser 10 AK it has finger slap. The Arsonal sam7 does not have finger slap. Shoot 1500 rounds in one day and you will not like finger slap.🙂
Watching this video I’m going to go out on a limb and say you prefer military surplus firearms for the history. That owning an older scarred up AK that’s actually been in a war (or at least some of the parts have) does something for you. The Arsenal is still a better rifle and there’s no getting away from that. Try shooting them side by side.
I know exactly what you’re talking about with the Arsenal’s sterile feeling. I threw wood furniture on my SAM7R to try to compensate. Look forward to seeing how your thoughts after you put rounds through it.
I bought my SAM7R last year and it has become one of my favorite rifles. I highly recommend the Manticore Arms Nightbrake Compensator. Add the Annihilator optics combo from AK Operators Union and you will have an AWESOME setup. Oh, I also replaced the shitty standard grip with an Arsenal SAW grip. Much more comfortable!
About the same as you. Got one last year, soo smooth. Ive got magpul pg, midwest mount and sig romeo, alg trigger, wolff recoil spring, 74 brake, makes my ar buddies hate hard. I dont even care about my own ars anymore! Just got a sfk now here it goes..
The brake that comes with it works pretty great in comparison to the slant brake. It tends to feel like it pushes straight back where as the slant feels like it whips to the side more. Just my opinion. Great video.
Are you even watching the same video? That's a polish parts kit built by century on a nodak NDS-1. Look closer it has dimples and is not a wasr. The older century parts kit guns like the polish Pmkms polish Milled and yugo m70ab2's were actually decent guns.
Absolutely, and the receiver is guaranteed for 150K rounds which means your grandkids will still be using it. Just be prepared for the sticker shock, but if you want a military grade AK, there is no substitute. Go SAM7R milled and SAM7SF milled.
The whole time Im wondering why the heck did he buy that SAM7 for . He obviously is turned off by the Rifle... btw even tho Arsenals are new production they are manufactured by a very historical former eastern commbloc manufacture . Which is cool in my book . Having a newly Manufactured factory AK made by a Military Arms manufacture is not a bad thing .
small mag is useful for different things. you could load it with armor defeating rounds, or incendiary, or tracer. or, in my opinion, it makes a far superior prone magazine, when you are going to be laying down. don’t toss it.
*Sean Havok* is your century Al Wasr, a Ras 47, or a C39/C39V2? I'm asking because Ras 47s are literally dangerous, as can be the C39, however the Wasr is a GEM that is amazing and totally underrated for no reason.
5 лет назад
I can't decide between a Rifle Dynamics AKM or a FALKOR DEFENSE Alpha. Im leaning towards the Alpha 308 with a thermal scope.
Kind of curious what the difference in weight between the 2 are since one of them is milled and one stamped. Lemme know if you get a chance to weigh them!
You said “AK?” That SAM7 you are holding is as close to an actual AK-47 there is. Larry Vickers himself said it so. That underfolder you were comparing it with is an AKM. It’s not a real AK-47, even if it “went places”.
Brother lose the gloves embrace the haters because their opinions don’t matter the only opinion that matters is yours if you’re proud of your tats then show them off
I have no tats and no plans to get any but you should certainly show them off. Anyone who has that much ink on them obviously has a lot to say and should wear them proudly
Maybe he just doesn't want to fuck up his hands on a sharp new ak. I cut and hurt myself all the time (on accident FYI) so I wear gloves when handling Comblock steel
You seem like a cool dude, whatever you do for "work" would probably have me seething with jealousy haha, just watched my first video on your channel, the 249 un-boxing and after scrolling through your videos for 2 seconds I've decided to subscribe. Thank you documenting and sharing your collection with us. And I hope 2019 is a good year for you brother. Keep up the good content
@@hvkrev2 I could go buy a WASR today but iv sorta been of the buy once cry once mindset. I have also felt the same in terms of Ak aesthetics. I was gonna throw some wood furniture on mine.
Have same rifle that came packaged exactly how your came! I dremeled the Magpul forearm to fit. Just wish they made a AR-15 buffer tube adapter to fit without having to cut off one of the tangs. But it my first AK and my only AK.
I had a century arms and I had no issue with mine either but I’ve heard they were crap. I’m not spending a shit load of money on a AK47 can’t justify that, rather buy one for cheap and spend the rest of my money on ammo but I also have tattoos and am a idiot so what do I know.
I'm trying to figure out why you bought it? Anytime I get a new gun I'm jumping up and fucking down. I have a SAM7 underfolder coming my way and can hardly wait for it. Let me know if you want to sell your Arsenal!
Your Arsenal has a spring loaded firing pin as opposed to most AKM's on the market. I can appreciate battle worn, beat up rifles like a cosmoline coated SKS as well as a safe queen long term investment SAM 7R. Just like I can appreciate different styles of architecture... mid-century modern or craftsman style. Both have their good points. It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
I have a century arms polish tantal 74 and i fucking love it. I’ve never had any real malfunction with a few thousand rounds through it. Century products are hit or miss but worth the money.
Another very informational video, I personally have no clue about AK's, but I feel like I know more know ha ha 😉 All this time I thought you were waiting for new carpet and the yellow was leftover adhesive from original carpet 😆😂🤣 Very industrial looking carpet and very different 👍
I got the arsenal pistol so I would not need to comply with 922r. It feels to me like a more realistic AK than anything modified here in the U.S. some of the Bulgarian tooling is still Russian, how do you get more authentic than that?
Tactical Mustache a fine choice, now take that fake booster off and thread the barrel. I decided to leave mine long to try and preserve some muzzle velocity, but that’s just preference.
Tactical Mustache it is fake. You will lose nothing by removing it. In fact you can increase your velocity if you remove it; because you can put a real booster on.
~Arsenals have a crappy painted finish, so if you want to show some wear on your Rifle just take some isopropyl alcohol and wipe it down. It'll quickly remove much of the paint and give it an old used look. I love my SAM7SF a lot. ~How do I know? I screwed up my Arsenal's finish that way. Of course I could repaint it but I'm not going to. ~A 2.5" to 3" MOA at 100 yards is combat accurate for me and will work on taking out a bad person.
for what its worth, ive owned a number of century aks and although they've more or less gone bang when i pulled the tigger, theyve had some major quality control issues wasr 10/63 with canted front sight gp1975 with canted rear sight polish akms with canted barrel (yes, entire barrel was crooked to the receiver) ras47 with so much mag wobble the mag would become canted enough to actually stop the bolts forward travel. glad you have a good quality one, but id never touch a century product again
Conner I’m a little late on the reply but I’d say your main problem was buying a ras47. I wouldn’t waste my time pisssing down the barrel of one of those
I LOVE my scar, ar’s, lever and bolt guns but damn if my Krebs doesn’t end up always being pulled back into my hands! haha. There’s just something in particular about the nostalgic badassery of an ak that sets it apart. Being a cold war era weapon that’s still as relevant and able today as it was then, says everything, really, regarding its pure effective reliability to get the job it was made to do done, and done well. It’s an icon in and of itself, beyond just the confines of the firearms world, and is a prominent feature on more than one nations flag for good reason. haha. Good shit, as always, Mr. Havok! You never cease to outdo yourself, time and time again.🤙🏽
When are you getting the New GEISSELE Full Rifle? It looks cool . I would buy it if I could afford it as it being their first Full Rifle is bound to be an Investment and only go up in Value . Especially if one gets in a lower serial Number . I Know you use their triggers in most of you stuff.
Sean I've been watching your videos and I also have a scar 17s. Is that scoop a 1x4? If so how do you like it? I was thinking 1x6. I just haven't been wanting to pony up 1600 for the vortex.
Sean Havok yeah, there’s nothing wrong with the iron sights, but the ultimak rail allows you to co-witness with an aimpoint. Makes this gun that much better in my opinion.
I don't have an AK and had never really been interested In them. But today You and Tactical Toolbox put out AK videos. Damn... Guess when I'm off the college budget I'm getting an AK! Lol
I can appreciate wanting a battle worn AK because it looks cool but take from a guy that was issued a rusty, battle worn AK in Afghanistan. My first contact with that rifle I was able to get off 2rds before it failed. At that moment I would have given anything for the Arsenal. You can always give it the Khyber pass look.
Michael Call I have a really old Hungarian parts kit build that I have put through hell and it looks like total shit. Rust everywhere and the finish is totally gone basically but I've kept the inside mint. I think that's the key, you can have a "battle worn" ak that is amazing but just for the love of god keep the inside from rusting
Dude I got a Galil ACE pistol w/folding brace chambered in 7.62x39 Going to be my backpack battle rifle/Truck gun on layaway currently at my local gun shop

The Kalashnikov ignorance runs deep .
my 300$ ar15 runs great! although the barrel is becoming a little gold, but no stove pipes or jams at all
@Anthony Roic its a 200$ upper, it doesnt take much to melt the handguard, and the barrel is becoming a gold tint due to excessive heat.
@Anthony Roic i know hehe, im a cheapo until i get an ar15 built, that one will be roughly 2k-3k, high end and canted sights as well
Arsenal sucks!
Peter Griffin why
You want some history. Slap some surplus wood furniture on it. Now you have the best of both worlds
There is an old saying about AK’s, the crappier the box, the better the gun.
Never heard that but I like it.
other than Arsenals, top AK's to buy would be the Veprs, Saigas, or even the Galil Ace's
Ryan Rigsby or even Polytech or MAADI AKs
Love the Russian gals

It's 5 hours of cold hammer forging and milling/machining into each rifle. Takes 2 hours to cold hammer forge each one from my understanding with talking to Arsenal reps.
About 9 hours of work goes into the receiver alone.
I love my Arsenal AK. I am glad that I have had it for a year and never saw this video until now. I could have made a big mistake.
I own a Sam7 and a 107 sr. If you want an ak, they are the ones to have. They come off the same line as the 100 series made for the. Bulgarian military. They do not come any better, unless you go full custom.
THERE 2000.00 NOW
Each other kit built ak has a story. But with an arsenal, it's up to become your own own revolutionary and write the story.
Back in 2002 purchased an Arsenal SAM7 for 525.00 dealer cost from FAC in Minneapolis. At that time they only made milled receivers. Since then it has had around 23 thousand rounds of Wolf ammo through it. It has only failed about 5 times. The failures were magazine related. To this day it still has had no parts changed out. The flash suppressor is fixed and can not be removed,because of the 1994 gun bill. It has been a great gun. Also have a waser 10 AK it has finger slap. The Arsonal sam7 does not have finger slap. Shoot 1500 rounds in one day and you will not like finger slap.🙂
What's with the Michael Jackson gloves?
My Century Romanian sar-1 was a tank. Nothing stopped that sucker from running.
You should definitely do alot more studying before creating "akm" videos. PLEASE!
Watching this video I’m going to go out on a limb and say you prefer military surplus firearms for the history. That owning an older scarred up AK that’s actually been in a war (or at least some of the parts have) does something for you.

14:36 standard tapco trigger... Trigger feels familar. Lol. This guy doesnt know anything about the gun he is talking about.
The brake that comes with it works pretty great in comparison to the slant brake. It tends to feel like it pushes straight back where as the slant feels like it whips to the side more. Just my opinion. Great video.
That's a polish underfolder. Just has a yugo pistol grip.
nope that's a Romanian. NO dimples.
Are you even watching the same video? That's a polish parts kit built by century on a nodak NDS-1. Look closer it has dimples and is not a wasr. The older century parts kit guns like the polish Pmkms polish Milled and yugo m70ab2's were actually decent guns.

VEPR might be a good go-between . Next in the collection?
Any experience with PSA? Seems like their GF5 models are pretty solid. I’m a Zastava fan but I’m very curious

Loving the videos, hope to pick up a SAM7R soon.
Awesome video, its good to listen to an individual that actually has knowledge on a subject. keep the videos coming I'll keep liking them!
What knowledge?
Kind of curious what the difference in weight between the 2 are since one of them is milled and one stamped. Lemme know if you get a chance to weigh them!
If the receiver is made in the US would it still be subject to 922r?
So are we ever going to see you shoot these things, or will you just be teasing us with unboxing videos.
You said “AK?” That SAM7 you are holding is as close to an actual AK-47 there is. Larry Vickers himself said it so. That underfolder you were comparing it with is an AKM. It’s not a real AK-47, even if it “went places”.

Have same rifle that came packaged exactly how your came! I dremeled the Magpul forearm to fit. Just wish they made a AR-15 buffer tube adapter to fit without having to cut off one of the tangs. But it my first AK and my only AK.
I’d have to say the WASR10 and NPAP are way more mass produced than a SAM7.
So you would rather have battlefield junk over the best ak ever made?
Amazing isn't it
I had a century arms and I had no issue with mine either but I’ve heard they were crap. I’m not spending a shit load of money on a AK47 can’t justify that, rather buy one for cheap and spend the rest of my money on ammo but I also have tattoos and am a idiot so what do I know.
I'm trying to figure out why you bought it? Anytime I get a new gun I'm jumping up and fucking down. I have a SAM7 underfolder coming my way and can hardly wait for it. Let me know if you want to sell your Arsenal!
Your Arsenal has a spring loaded firing pin as opposed to most AKM's on the market. I can appreciate battle worn, beat up rifles like a cosmoline coated SKS as well as a safe queen long term investment SAM 7R. Just like I can appreciate different styles of architecture... mid-century modern or craftsman style. Both have their good points. It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
I have a century arms polish tantal 74 and i fucking love it. I’ve never had any real malfunction with a few thousand rounds through it. Century products are hit or miss but worth the money.
Another very informational video, I personally have no clue about AK's, but I feel like I know more know ha ha 😉
All this time I thought you were waiting for new carpet and the yellow was leftover adhesive from original carpet 😆😂🤣
Very industrial looking carpet and very different 👍
Yeah I thought it was the foam that goes under the carpet .lol
What's with the gloves?
any chance we will see some 5.45x39 guns from you?
I got the arsenal pistol so I would not need to comply with 922r. It feels to me like a more realistic AK than anything modified here in the U.S. some of the Bulgarian tooling is still Russian, how do you get more authentic than that?
shadowhawk i have the Sam 7k pistol as well
Don Wyt put a brace on it, it’s awesome. I recommend the SBA3.
Tactical Mustache a fine choice, now take that fake booster off and thread the barrel. I decided to leave mine long to try and preserve some muzzle velocity, but that’s just preference.
Tactical Mustache it is fake. You will lose nothing by removing it. In fact you can increase your velocity if you remove it; because you can put a real booster on.
Tactical Mustache that sounds pretty awesome. I will check that out.
~Arsenals have a crappy painted finish, so if you want to show some wear on your Rifle just take some isopropyl alcohol and wipe it down. It'll quickly remove much of the paint and give it an old used look. I love my SAM7SF a lot.
~How do I know? I screwed up my Arsenal's finish that way. Of course I could repaint it but I'm not going to.
~A 2.5" to 3" MOA at 100 yards is combat accurate for me and will work on taking out a bad person.
Contact arsenal and they should have no problem putting a better finish on it. That is just not right
A gun that costs over $1,000 should absolutely never ship without a standard capacity 30 round magazine.
my only gripe about arsenal.
for what its worth, ive owned a number of century aks and although they've more or less gone bang when i pulled the tigger, theyve had some major quality control issues
wasr 10/63 with canted front sight
gp1975 with canted rear sight
polish akms with canted barrel (yes, entire barrel was crooked to the receiver)
ras47 with so much mag wobble the mag would become canted enough to actually stop the bolts forward travel.
glad you have a good quality one, but id never touch a century product again
Conner I’m a little late on the reply but I’d say your main problem was buying a ras47. I wouldn’t waste my time pisssing down the barrel of one of those
Dude, worst review ever.
I LOVE my scar, ar’s, lever and bolt guns but damn if my Krebs doesn’t end up always being pulled back into my hands! haha. There’s just something in particular about the nostalgic badassery of an ak that sets it apart. Being a cold war era weapon that’s still as relevant and able today as it was then, says everything, really, regarding its pure effective reliability to get the job it was made to do done, and done well. It’s an icon in and of itself, beyond just the confines of the firearms world, and is a prominent feature on more than one nations flag for good reason. haha. Good shit, as always, Mr. Havok! You never cease to outdo yourself, time and time again.🤙🏽
When are you getting the New GEISSELE Full Rifle? It looks cool . I would buy it if I could afford it as it being their first Full Rifle is bound to be an Investment and only go up in Value . Especially if one gets in a lower serial Number . I Know you use their triggers in most of you stuff.
Sean I've been watching your videos and I also have a scar 17s. Is that scoop a 1x4? If so how do you like it? I was thinking 1x6. I just haven't been wanting to pony up 1600 for the vortex.
Drop an AGL trigger in it, slap an ultimak rail on top and put an aim point on it and call it perfection.
Sean Havok yeah, there’s nothing wrong with the iron sights, but the ultimak rail allows you to co-witness with an aimpoint. Makes this gun that much better in my opinion.
Rs regulate, take advantage of side mount
Jo Mama I do agree with that. The Sam -7 UF is a better option for a red dot if you’re going that route.
Make mine an Arsenal. Would love to have an SAM7
First time unbagging it but knows where the cleaning kit goes and that it will pinch your fingers?
Will you do an update on this after x amount of rounds?
That rifle is the only rifle you need, but we know this isn't the last one.
where did you buy this gun?
I don't have an AK and had never really been interested In them. But today You and Tactical Toolbox put out AK videos. Damn... Guess when I'm off the college budget I'm getting an AK! Lol
How do I buy off of havoc defense
Would you sell the muzzle brake?
Do you Feel the Same way About Veprs?
Great Vid!!!!
take the mittens off lmao
You have a great collection of guns!Do you own a benelli m4?
So does the magazine fit for both?
I can appreciate wanting a battle worn AK because it looks cool but take from a guy that was issued a rusty, battle worn AK in Afghanistan. My first contact with that rifle I was able to get off 2rds before it failed. At that moment I would have given anything for the Arsenal. You can always give it the Khyber pass look.
Michael Call I have a really old Hungarian parts kit build that I have put through hell and it looks like total shit. Rust everywhere and the finish is totally gone basically but I've kept the inside mint. I think that's the key, you can have a "battle worn" ak that is amazing but just for the love of god keep the inside from rusting
Dude I got a Galil ACE pistol w/folding brace chambered in 7.62x39 Going to be my backpack battle rifle/Truck gun on layaway currently at my local gun shop
Hi. New to guns, so be nice. What does, "it runs/doesn't run" mean? Thanks.
Ellen Franklin Hebert runs: shoots good
Doesn’t run: doesn’t work or shoots bad.
Lmao arsenal has the worst packaging for some of the best AK's. It's almost comical how much they don't give a shit in the packaging of the product.
Love your channel man! Shame there is so many haters in the comments
I have a Century C93, other than having problems with seating mags no other problems.
I have c39 the Gen 1 my favorite Ak to shoot.
You should start doing shooting reviews of these weapons.
