Thank you ! As a bulgarian I live about 15 miles from the factory and know some guys working there ! They do have a lot of pride in their work and they always lookin to improve .
Hey Misha, Love your videos! I'm just blown away with the extent of your knowledge across so many platforms! I came across your videos while researching my first AK type purchase. Well, I've been binge watching your videos for the last 5 days! Joined your Patreon as well. I almost pulled the trigger (no pun) on the WASR-10 you just sold on Gunbroker, but when I went back it was sold. I ended up buying a CENTURY AK-63DS underfolder that should be at my FFL dealer by Friday. While continuing my quest for a fixed stock, I came across a nice Arsenal. Your video has helped me narrow this one down to one of the examples that came over as the 80% milled receiver, U.S. models. If you can help me zero it in as to where it fell in the model series, that would be great! It's marked Model SA M-7 with serial AB 00 0485. The rifle is very clean with almost zero magazine play with steel mags. The price is $1000, which seems fair to me. Your thoughts?
@Mishaco Have you ever bought a replacement Carrier? The part listed in the manual (which the company stands by) is the FA one with the trip tab on the rear right side of the carrier! Problem is, adjacent from the ejector rail, the right side of the receiver has "unmilled material" between the upper and lower rail on the front half, and that protruding "trip tab" on the carrier crashes into it and will not allow the bolt to go into battery by maybe 1/8" inch or so... It can be hacked off as some have done crudely, but due to their mistake, I feel a replacement should be given by them of a true S/A one such as what comes in them. (the factory ones have tooling marks where the auto Trip was removed cleanly) Having to bicker with them on how it is NOT the proper part (AK-046B) and hopefully after pics they'll come to their senses (and revise the manual) and hopefully replace it as I don't want to hack away at a good part. Was told by a credible person that the older Bulgy receivers from the 00's (or maybe the US receivers) were FULLY MILLED in that area and that they never revised the manual. Any thoughts or verification? Especially if you own older examples prior to the Bulgy SAM7R coming out (after first being the 101s)
I own an arsenal slr 104 fr and the newer slr 107r. As well as a wasr. have 3k rounds through my 104 and I am just addicted to 5.45 rifles. Thanks for the informative gun porn Misha!
Would you be able to answer me a question about a SAM7R I purchased a few weeks ago. Since day one when I load a magazine into it and pull the charging handle back it will not release forward on its own, I have to physically push the charging handle forward to chamber a round. I’ve shot shot about 400 rounds through it and still the problem persists, have not had any issues with the gun firing though, I’m using P mags in the gun with standard Wolf ammo.
Mishaco thanks for the suggestion. What I ended up doing is taking the rifle apart, even with no magazine in it when you pull the charging handle all the way back you can feel some resistance as you slowly move it forward. I cleaned everything up really well and oiled up the rails and when I went back together could feel the resistance wasn’t there anymore, put a loaded mag in it and now the charging handle launches forward like it should
Sounds like it's hanging up on the hammer, lots of AKs do that. I had a Romie PSL that would bolt hold open on the hammer, had to palm slap it if I didn't get a really good slingshot when pulling the bolt back. You did the right thing. Rubbing a little lubricant on the bottom of the bolt carrier (I like white lithium) should help ease that issue until it wears in. - Jay
Mishaco yea I agree with you based on the wear pattern I was seeing on the top of the hammer I think it’s hanging up there, so yes I cleaned all of it up nice and like you said oiled up the bottom of the bolt carrier. Do you think it’s best to just let it naturally wear down over time rather than slightly filing the top of the hammer?
can you please help me to understand the serial# on my Bulgarian ISD/ armory USA SSR-85C-2 It looks like B 2004 . . . . 30 im assuming its a 2004 model on the 1.6mm reciever built in Bulgaria with Arsenal parts, imported to armory USA, as single stack and milled to Double stack, and though like no videos on them, people say that there amazing, and the reciever could be some of the very best! what do you think sir??? Thank you and have a great day!
Another great one sir! A little report on the 107-11 and it's an excellent gun. Better fit and finish than any wasr that I've handled. I put a Bulgarian wood set on mine. Do you think they will import an 104 in a fixed stock?
I was hoping to have a 107-11 for this video, but Arsenal keeps pushing the date for more shipping to us back, so eventually I gave up. Sorry no, i do not think they'll do any more 104s of any kind. 5.45x39 isn't popular in Bulgaria, and its loosing a lot of the market in the USA today too.
Thank you for watching. The 104 is one of Arsenal's most unique offerings for the simple fact that very few 5.45x39 imports exist...even fewer that are actually a semi version of a milspec rifle, cheers.
No, its not true. They're fulfilling military contracts. Just like when the 107s were no where to be found. Then they decided to do the SLR107-11(?) ... Of course those flew out because they were under $1k. American market might be small potatoes, but its potatoes nonetheless.
I just wanted to say thank you for all your information. Beautiful firearms and I'm actually going to pop my cherry an buy one nexted week. I know I know shame on me lol. Years ago I was going to get the sam7sf when it came out an got something else... My question is what do you suggest.. i still like my first choice but also like collecting and you never know what's on the trade in rack.. I'm still green but know basic modles if there's any you suggest I look for instead thank you very much ., any help will go along way
Really, should get the SAM7SF while the price is the same and while they are still available. I bet you, they'll be sold out at Arsenal by the end of summer.
Ozark Bear Arms Awesome thanks for the input. Im going to look tomorrow or the nexted.. I wasnt aware the sam7sf will be gone soon so that's the one I'm going for. Thanks again
Rumors? I've heard people talking about Polish Radom guns or SVD Dragunovs or yet more Molots (don't ask me how); but none seem likely to me. My idea? if they introduce something new...if anything at all mind you, I wonder if they are about to step into the 'US Made AK' game? I mean they did assemble guns from kits from 2001-2006 as standard, and still do today s limited production. So it wouldn't be a huge leap for them to start making parts here and doing more work in LV, NV. Hell, someone needs to challenge Century and I.O. already lol.
Misha I'd like to know where you got the information of some receivers being forged in Bulgaria and then being fully machined in the US and thusly considered US receiver even though they were forged overseas
I would like to know everything that you do. I've called and spoken to several people at kvar and they insist the SAS M7 Classic receivers they have were forged and machined here in the United States, not forged overseas, imported as an incomplete receiver, and then finished out once Stateside. It sounds entirely plausible what you are saying is correct, but I am getting some conflicting information. As Agent Moulder from the X Files would say, I want to believe
Ah gotcha....you need to realise that most of the peple over at K-Var have been there maybe 6 months to a year. They were not around back in 2003 when the SA M7 Classic was introduced. The most recent date I have seen on one of the USA receivers was 2008. Not saying newer ones don't exist, but I did get 3 SAS M7 Classics in from them this summer, and all were 2008 so.... The people over there are nice and do their best, but they were simply not around that far back. Heck, K-Var didn't even get an FFL and start selling actual firearms until, was it 2010 or 2011? It was pretty recent. Anyway, to your question. First off, I've held one of the forgings. They sent over incomplete receivers from Bulgaria. They were machined out here, rollmarked and then had that rather nice paint over phosphate finish applied. While legally these receivers are USA made, the metal itself began life in Bulgaria. And for those same legal reasons, people that work there are going to tell you its USA made. Same goes for say the SAM7SF. We know they are imported as thumbhole stock featureless rifles and then 'remanufactured' here. When this happens, they really become new firearms and go from import to USA. For this reason, Arsenal/K-Var down plays the import angle and talks about the stuff they do here. This keeps the ATF and Customs off their back some too. Its all just a game really.
That sounds very plausible, and I really want to believe this, but it would really put me at ease if you could provide some sources. I am asking this as I have a found gentleman selling an SAS M7 milled underfolder receiver showing US made markings. You are truly valued in the gun community Misha, albeit I'm not sure how many people know of you, but more know every day.
All SA M-7 (and M-5 for that matter) guns will have USA Made marked receivers. None were built on 100% receivers imported from Bulgaria. Only the SA93, SLR95, SLR101, and SAM7(R/SF/UF) are true Bulgarian built milled guns. The SA M7 series was assembled here in the USA by Arsenal Inc. using new virgin Bulgarian parts kits. Again, their receivers came over from Bulgaria as an unfinished block of steel. Arsenal Inc. took this block and machined it into its final working receiver shape. Thus it was turned from a boring chunk of ordnance steel into an exciting 'firearm' here in the USA, making it officially USA made. Just the original raw forging came from Bulgaria. Understand now? As to sources, like I said I held one once. Also Arsenal Inc. Las Vegas did not have the tooling and workshop space to make complete milled receivers from scratch at the time. Truth is, their workshop area has always been quite small. They do not have a whole factory capable of making everything. They just make 922(r) parts mostly. Everything else comes from overseas. For more, go google various forums posts relating to Arsenals, looking back for ones dated 2002-2004. There was a whole thing back then when Arsenal switched from the imported SLR101 to the US assembled SA M7 series. In the end, I am not really sure what is concerning you? All SA M7s were made the same. There weren't some built with special receivers and others with boring ones. Just one of Arsenal Inc's many phases: from imports, to assembleds, and back to imports.
Yes, but only early on. Back in the '60s and '70s they used wood, but it wasn't the really light and shiny wood we see on the SA M7 Classic series. It was more standard military grade stuff. In the late 1980s, they switched to using the fiberglass handguards and polymer buttstocks. They still offer select fire guns with wood as an option, but i doubt anyone takes it these days, except Maybe on some Krinks? maybe? Today the black polymer furniture is standard.
I know you don't care about this too much but recently in the news both Romania and Bulgaria GDP has been growing at least 4% or higher which is good news that means more jobs and better wages(romania and bulgaria have the lowest wages in all of the EU) and by 2020 these countries could be ERM-II(this test to see if their country, currency and debt is stable before adopting the euro) but some are worried if one things goes wrong for either it could be really bad(not bad as greece who lied about debt and spending to get into eurozone) this could cause more folks to leave those countries and see k jobs else where(as you know many people from romania and bulgaria living in UK and many are coming back thanks to Brexit) I do hope us buying these guns from romania and bulgaria does help their export numbers(along with buying others things like maybe food, clothes or tourism) is helping them and hopefully this means they would export more guns to US market and become cheaper(more supply and pretty moderate demand, not a gun buy scare thanks to Obama for 8 years)
yeah compared to western europe they are behind. Hence why a lot tech companies go their because its cheap wages and low taxes same with Poland and Czech Republic and many other eastern european countries same with western balkans. Recently Hungary and Slovakia signed a gas pipeline that help sell more gas to western europe(less dependent on russia) but also send gas to Romania and Bulgaria and Turkey. Romania and Bulgaria want to be part of "schengen area"
I think Romania has about lowest average wages, and Poland is on the higher end for Eastern Europe. The Czech Republic is pretty high too compared with its neighbors. Also remember the strength of the dollar matters too.
Yeah Bulgaria and Romania have increased their wages in private and public sector(Bulgaria is still the lowest) yeah dollar is strong same Euro coming back and British pound did dip thanks to Brexit and Canadian dollar is still very weak(buying things like video games cost $60USD at least $75 CAD plus tax and I heard Quebec's tax rate is quite high) well hopefully once Romania and Bulgaria adopt the Euro things should even out a bit and help both of economics.
Well hell, our saletax is 10% here and property sucks too....and we don't even get free healthcare out of it. Kind of eel like we're screwed both ways here these days lol.
Not sure exactly where the word "Krinkov" came from, but it has no meaning in Russian. Russians never called it that, so my guess is it was made up by English speakers.
Mill receiver is no good if it's not the original stamp you don't want it And to put a stock on it very easy all you have to do is drill a hole and connect Stock watch you grill through the receiver A real AK is a stamp receiver Mill is some US bullshit
Love the review and history lesson. I watched both parts this evening as I love the Bulgarian Kalashnikovs.
Thanks much for watching.
Thank you ! As a bulgarian I live about 15 miles from the factory and know some guys working there ! They do have a lot of pride in their work and they always lookin to improve .
Thank you so much for making this ive been wanting to know more about bulgaria arsenal history
Thank you much for watching, cheers.
I enjoy your videos tremendously! I’ve leaned so much from watching you. Thank you for your time and efforts.
I'm also about 5'6" and own a Sam7SF. Length of stock is a tad long but I love this rifle. 🙂
Yep, it is still manageable. I find the AR-M9 handguards and grip help too.
Hey man, I'm 5'5" and just sold my SAM7-SF because that thing was about half as tall as me
Hey Misha,

Thank you very much for watching. Pretty much all I know about Arsenals are in these videos.
Great series on Arsenal! I'm tormented though knowing you have at _least_ another hour of engaging material you left out.
Totally love your videos. So informative. You are a walking encyclopedia.
I bought a SLR104fr from you. It is my favorite AK I own.
Great to hear, and those are about to dry up I think. After that? I bet the internet decides they were the best Krinks ever and prices go bananas.
The kittens make every video even better!
@Mishaco

Having to bicker with them on how it is NOT the proper part (AK-046B) and hopefully after pics they'll come to their senses (and revise the manual) and hopefully replace it as I don't want to hack away at a good part.

Any thoughts or verification? Especially if you own older examples prior to the Bulgy SAM7R coming out (after first being the 101s)
I'm looking to buy the Sam 7sf what do you think...I can get it for 1399 is it worth the money....
This really helped me out a lot. Excellent presentation, thank you.
I really enjoy these videos
Always a great video
Outstanding work on this video Mish. Great job. Poor yourself a cold one.
haha thanks,
I'm no AK-fanboy, but I've recently bought a M8F. I like it a lot!
I own an arsenal slr 104 fr and the newer slr 107r. As well as a wasr. have 3k rounds through my 104 and I am just addicted to 5.45 rifles. Thanks for the informative gun porn Misha!
Thank you for watching
What a great video!
Excellent videos as always. I have a SAM7 UF on the way. Il be adding the Bulgarian bakelite handguards to it.
Thank you for watching. Yes, the bakelite really helps the SAM7UF.
Well done. Love Arsenal rifles!
thank you
I have slr-101s and sam7sf-84r, I would love to get a slr-104fr. I hope they come back.
Dollars to donuts, i bet you the SLR104FR will never come back sadly.
Great video ! Very informative
What did they bring in, in the fall?
Dude I cannot figure out how to set up those new Bulgarian adjustable sling that you have on the sam7sf, any help possibly? Thanks misha
i have an slr 107-fr i got in 2012 is it a good one? i heard the 107 had recoil reduction is that true?
Love that cat by the way.
Do you think the SAM7UF will ever come back? I used to own one but I sold it. Now I miss it
Would you be able to answer me a question about a SAM7R I purchased a few weeks ago.

Try steel mags. Polymer mags fit really tight in my 7K. My Fox rifle won't accept Bulgarian waffles.
Mishaco thanks for the suggestion. What I ended up doing is taking the rifle apart, even with no magazine in it when you pull the charging handle all the way back you can feel some resistance as you slowly move it forward.

Very helpful video!
can you please help me to understand the serial# on my Bulgarian ISD/ armory USA SSR-85C-2
It looks like B 2004 . . . . 30
im assuming its a 2004 model on the 1.6mm reciever built in Bulgaria with Arsenal parts, imported to armory USA, as single stack and milled to Double stack, and though like no videos on them, people say that there amazing, and the reciever could be some of the very best! what do you think sir???
Thank you and have a great day!
I like the handguards you have on your Sam 7 that you showed in your top 6. Are those easily attainable ?
Another great one sir! A little report on the 107-11 and it's an excellent gun. Better fit and finish than any wasr that I've handled. I put a Bulgarian wood set on mine. Do you think they will import an 104 in a fixed stock?

SLR 104 is my favorite
Thank you for watching. The 104 is one of Arsenal's most unique offerings for the simple fact that very few 5.45x39 imports exist...even fewer that are actually a semi version of a milspec rifle, cheers.
Is it true there are no more SLR-104's being sold?
I own a SLR 95. I like it, but since it's the only AK I've ever owned I may not know any better, therefore I must buy more AK47s.
No, its not true. They're fulfilling military contracts. Just like when the 107s were no where to be found. Then they decided to do the SLR107-11(?) ... Of course those flew out because they were under $1k. American market might be small potatoes, but its potatoes nonetheless.
Ozark Bear Arms it’s my absolute FAVORITE AK.....shoot so reliably and are very accurate!
I just wanted to say thank you for all your information. Beautiful firearms and I'm actually going to pop my cherry an buy one nexted week. I know I know shame on me lol.

Ozark Bear Arms Awesome thanks for the input. Im going to look tomorrow or the nexted.. I wasnt aware the sam7sf will be gone soon so that's the one I'm going for. Thanks again
What are some of the rumors about what Arsenal might be bringing out this fall?
Rumors? I've heard people talking about Polish Radom guns or SVD Dragunovs or yet more Molots (don't ask me how); but none seem likely to me. My idea? if they introduce something new...if anything at all mind you, I wonder if they are about to step into the 'US Made AK' game? I mean they did assemble guns from kits from 2001-2006 as standard, and still do today s limited production. So it wouldn't be a huge leap for them to start making parts here and doing more work in LV, NV. Hell, someone needs to challenge Century and I.O. already lol.
Your personal collection must be breathe taking
Thank you for watching. Remember, a good number of guns seen here on this channel are from the store or loaners from friends, cheers.
Misha I'd like to know where you got the information of some receivers being forged in Bulgaria and then being fully machined in the US and thusly considered US receiver even though they were forged overseas
Sure, what would you like to know exactly? Just the source or more details on the process?
I would like to know everything that you do. I've called and spoken to several people at kvar and they insist the SAS M7 Classic receivers they have were forged and machined here in the United States, not forged overseas, imported as an incomplete receiver, and then finished out once Stateside. It sounds entirely plausible what you are saying is correct, but I am getting some conflicting information. As Agent Moulder from the X Files would say, I want to believe

I'm a 556 ak platform junkie lol, love to get my hands on a SAM5, great vid , thanks!!!
Times are changing, 545 will be obsolete.
great rifles.
thank you for watching, cheers.
I'm looking at a Sam 7 Arsenal for 1399 u think it's worth the money...
Did military Bulgarian aks ever have wood furniture?
The Smokinggun nope
Yes, but only early on. Back in the '60s and '70s they used wood, but it wasn't the really light and shiny wood we see on the SA M7 Classic series. It was more standard military grade stuff. In the late 1980s, they switched to using the fiberglass handguards and polymer buttstocks. They still offer select fire guns with wood as an option, but i doubt anyone takes it these days, except Maybe on some Krinks? maybe? Today the black polymer furniture is standard.
If only the mischaco of the past knew how much they sell for now.
Ahhhhhh, there is the nice cat seen in some of your videos.
haha which one?
I know you don't care about this too much but recently in the news both Romania and Bulgaria GDP has been growing at least 4% or higher which is good news that means more jobs and better wages(romania and bulgaria have the lowest wages in all of the EU) and by 2020 these countries could be ERM-II(this test to see if their country, currency and debt is stable before adopting the euro) but some are worried if one things goes wrong for either it could be really bad(not bad as greece who lied about debt and spending to get into eurozone) this could cause more folks to leave those countries and see k jobs else where(as you know many people from romania and bulgaria living in UK and many are coming back thanks to Brexit)
I do hope us buying these guns from romania and bulgaria does help their export numbers(along with buying others things like maybe food, clothes or tourism) is helping them and hopefully this means they would export more guns to US market and become cheaper(more supply and pretty moderate demand, not a gun buy scare thanks to Obama for 8 years)
Of course if wages go up, that means also the cost to make a rifle will go up accordingly.
yeah compared to western europe they are behind. Hence why a lot tech companies go their because its cheap wages and low taxes same with Poland and Czech Republic and many other eastern european countries same with western balkans. Recently Hungary and Slovakia signed a gas pipeline that help sell more gas to western europe(less dependent on russia) but also send gas to Romania and Bulgaria and Turkey.

Well hell, our saletax is 10% here and property sucks too....and we don't even get free healthcare out of it. Kind of eel like we're screwed both ways here these days lol.
It's actually a well known fact that the sam7 sf 84r w quad rail is the best gun ever made.
BEST.... FACT!!!!
More cat vids please
