@@misha5670 on a separate note sir, since AK's are scarce right now, I was wondering if you know if the Nova Modul and the Cugir factories are owned by the same people or government?

I tried the new AC Unity .223 mags on my SAM5, they fit perfectly (a little tight, but should eventually break in) and hold the bolt open on the last round.
I've tried ac unity mags in my polish 5.56 AK they needed the rear locking tab to be filed down to get em to rock in and lock in smoothly, or some needed the bolt hold open feature filed down to fit in, or swapping the bho follower out with a pioneer arms 5.56 AK mag follower which I have done, I found Russian plum 74 mags with pod arms followers, and Russian bakelite 74 mags with pod arms followers are the cure to mag reliability, and compatibility for my polish 5.56 AK, the ac unity mags were a wast eof money and time too me I had to file down the rear tabs on three out of 5 of them to get them to work.
Just shot mine at the range today for the first time. What a joy. No issues, smooth as butter, and nearly zeroed out of the box. Now I need to find one of those bayos you have!
Was able to snag one. Threw on some Bulgarian Type 3 furniture (plastic salmon colored stock and bakelite handguards). I also have a Bulgarian Bakelite bayo that I didn't bother to see if it would fit until I saw this vid. Very impressed with this rifle.
I picked one up and really like the gun. I’ve only put 100 rds through it due to ammo supply. One thing I noticed was black circle 10’s were hard to lock in and remove. Beryl and the clear 20 were much easier. This is definitely a keeper.
I have a few of the WBP 5.56 mags as well as actually FB mags. The WBP is less rigid and more flexible than the FB. WBP mags also have a waffle type pattern to them and are a bit more opaque. They seem to function just fine, haven't really beat on them though.
Looks like K-VAR also quietly dropped a small amount of 107-UR's recently as well. I plan on checking their site multiple times throughout the coming weeks to see if anything else cool pops up.
That is a ridiculous price BUT show me any AK that isn't U.S. made or a WASR that doesn't cost close to $2k. You can find some kits or used 7.62x39 for less but venture into 5.45 or 5.56 and even used and parts kits without barrel and reciever are 1,500+
@@toki89666 any AK shouldn't cost more then $350. If we were really free; we could bring over the millions of existing AKM's that are scattered around the planet.

Nice. Better with a lighter titanium reliever IMO. Never a big fan of riveting a stamped receiver to a trunion but a forged steel receiver is unnecessarily heavy. As titanium has more "spring" than steel it should last longer too as steel is more susceptible to metal fatigue.
@DroopyWorm The Weaver family probably said the same. Keep relying on that constitution though. Makes it easier to believe we aren't ruled by unaccountable gang of murderers and prison guards. Please enjoy your weekend.
@DroopyWorm Can i get you an optic? You missed the point. I hope you never have to test your premise. I don't think the feds will let you move the goal posts.
So my buddy has a dilemma, SLR 107 FR, converted sa93 minus mag catch, vepr 74FM, Robinson arms VEPR X39, original barrel tantal kit, which one should he sell? I said none but he wants ammo lol. I wish I had some ammo so that I could trade him
Are they heavier? yes but its not as much as many seem to think. For one, part of what made the original AK T3 so heavy was its barrel. Also its wood furniture and just all machined small parts. With newer milled AKs, while the receiver has some weight, the rest of the rifle does what it can to balance this out. And balance is the key. The SAM5/SAM7 has a good centerpoint, so its easy to handle and fire. The difference in weight between a milled and a stamped receiver is about like adding an optic, and funnily enough people don't complain about the weight when they put their Waunder-COG on something.

Know your gonna keep it. I see the sling

Beryl and the clear 20 were much easier. This is definitely a keeper.
The lugs on those black mags have pretty thick paint on them. Pop them in/out a few times, and things will wear in just fine.
Misha do the black polish mags have metal reinforcements?
I saw one of these at a local shop for $1850 last week. My mind yelled yes, my wallet said no.
You would spend more than that just putting 4000 rounds through it.
@Brian Hess it was NIB. I assume it wasn't new old stock, but didn't look too close because I was afraid I wouldn't put it down.
You should have bought it theses are only going up in price

I also have both WBP and FB mags as well. Both seem to run fine.
Same experience here with both versions.
Do you they might ever do a Sam5 pistol, like a krink they did with the sam7 or carbine versions(12.5 inch) they have on Arsenal Bulgaria’s website?
Is it even possible to put a folder on this? I'm not very knowledgeable of how that works with milled AKs.
Curious if these would run steel mags
Perfectly

All for the low low price of $2000 or more!! after taxes and shipping
They were only $1500 if you were quick. KVAR actually still had one on their website, yesterday.
$1575 was my final cost for rifle, shipping, FFL fee, and gas to pick it up.
