The Arsenal SAM7K55 SAM7K 7.62x39mm 30+1 8.50″ Black Steel Threaded Barrel, Polymer Handguards, Black Aluminum Forged & Milled Receiver, Mounted 1913 Picatinny Rail, Black Polymer Grips is a Bulgarian-made AK pistol built for hard use. This isn’t a range toy—it’s a tool for ranchers, rural workers, and anyone who needs a compact rifle-caliber pistol that won’t quit. The forged and milled receiver keeps the action tight and accurate, while the 8.5-inch threaded barrel lets you run a suppressor or brake. Comes with a 30-round Circle 10 magazine, cleaning kit, and QD sling swivel.

Key Features
- Forged & Milled Receiver: Unlike stamped receivers that can warp, this billet-style milled block holds zero and stays rigid. You’ll feel the difference in accuracy over time.
- Threaded Front Sight Block: The barrel is threaded 24×1.5mm RH right at the front sight base—no adapter needed. Run a suppressor or a brake without adding length.
- Mounted 1913 Picatinny Rail: The rear trunnion has a factory-installed rail for optics or braces. No drilling, no gunsmith—just mount and go.
- US-Made Polymer Furniture: Black polymer handguards and grip are tough, lightweight, and resist chemicals. They won’t crack in cold weather like some older designs.
- 30-Round Circle 10 Magazine: These mags are legendary for durability. Steel-reinforced feed lips and a steel locking insert—they’ll outlast the gun.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for the guy who needs a compact truck gun, a pest control tool on the ranch, or a reliable sidearm for hunting thick brush. It’s not a safe queen. It’s for the rancher who needs a pistol that can reach out to 100 yards with iron sights, or the rural worker who wants a PDW that doesn’t jam when it’s dirty. If you’re a competitive shooter or a collector, it’ll serve you too, but it’s designed for utility first.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Milled receiver is tougher than stamped guns; threaded barrel is suppressor-ready; includes a 30-round mag and cleaning kit; factory Picatinny rail saves you money on aftermarket parts; proven reliability in adverse conditions.
- Cons: The 8.5-inch barrel makes it loud with a brake, and the pistol is heavy compared to polymer-framed options. Also, the grip angle is AK-standard, which some shooters find less ergonomic than modern AR grips.

Per Arsenal’s specs, the SAM7K55’s milled receiver offers a 30% increase in rigidity over stamped AK receivers. That’s a measurable advantage for holding zero under hard use. The trade-off is weight—it’s about a pound heavier than a stamped AK pistol. But for a ranch tool, that weight soaks up recoil and keeps the gun stable.
FAQ
Can I mount an AR buffer tube and brace on this pistol?
Yes. The rear Picatinny rail is a standard 1913 section, so you can attach an AR-style buffer tube adapter (like from StormWerkz or JMac Customs) and then add a brace or a stock (if you file a Form 1). It’s a common modification.
What suppressor works with the 24×1.5mm threads?
Most AK-specific suppressors like the Dead Air Wolverine or the Griffin Armament AK suppressor are designed for 24×1.5mm threads. You can also use a standard 5/8×24 adapter if needed.
Is this pistol legal in my state?
As a pistol, it’s legal under federal law (NFA not required) and in most states that allow pistol ownership. Check your local laws on barrel length and magazine capacity. The 30-round magazine may be restricted in some states like California or New York.
Does it come with a cleaning rod?
Yes. The SAM7K55 includes a cleaning rod that stores under the barrel, plus a cleaning kit in the grip compartment. It’s a standard AK cleaning kit with a brush, jag, and oil bottle.
