Arsenal's SAM7K-03 is a semi-automatic pistol in 7.62x39mm caliber featuring Sig Sauer's SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace on the receiver extension to improve single handed shooting. It has a 10.5" chrome-lined, hammer-forged barrel, a front sight block/gas block combination, forged and milled receiver, a hot-die hammer-forged bolt, bolt carrier group, and trigger group. It has a reinforced black polymer pistol grip stock, ambidextrous safety lever, AK scope rail, and a rear peep sight with two settings. The receiver extension has a waterproof storage compartment with a sealing, threaded cap. It ships with one 5-round mil-spec Bulgarian Arsenal magazine, sling, cleaning rod, oil bottle, and cleaning kit.
Arsenal's Bulgarian-made SAM7K pistol combines authentic, high-quality features rarely seen in the American market. All firearms manufactured by Arsenal, Inc. use 100% brand new components, and every component of the SAM7K is engineered to provide decades of dependable service. Each SAM7K receiver is milled from a hot-die hammer forged receiver blank. Arsenal's hot-die hammer forging produces stronger and finer-grained steel and eliminates internal voids and cooling deformations. Each forged receiver blank requires more than 5.5 hours of milling before assembly. This forging and milling process is complex and time-intensive, but Arsenal's meticulous attention to detail delivers a receiver of unequaled strength, precision and durability.

particular item.
The 7.62X39mm (7.62mm Russian) was adopted by the Soviet Union in 1943, first in the SKS semiautomatic, and then in the famous AK-47 selective fire assault rifle. The concept was based on Russian experience with the 7.92X33mm Kurz in the German MKB42, the world's first assault rifle. The 7.62X39mm has more case capacity, thus higher velocity and somewhat more range than the German cartridge, but the concept remains: A short to medium-range cartridge that offers a high volume of fire as, literally, troops closed in the assault. Although officially replaced by the 5.45X39mm in the AK-74, the 7.62X39mm and its AK-47 remain in use the world over, very possibly the most prolific military rifle and cartridge ever made. The 7.62X39mm has been adapted to the AR platform, and also chambered in various civilian platforms. Firing a 123-grain bullet at 2365 fps, the 7.62X39 is low in recoil and is an excellent deer cartridge at short to medium range.
