    AKs

    Thinking of picking up an AK before SB 47 and 347 happens

    Trying to decide between the two. The price will be about $100 less for the Vepr after all said and done so not much of a deciding factor. Thanks.

    Vepr AK47 7.62x39mm Rifle Red Wood


    OR
    Arsenal SAM7R-61 Milled Receiver

    + 1 for VEPR

    Get a slant break, those tapco 74 breaks are heavy... but they do a great job with recoil.

    "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks & corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

            get the milled, all critical components (barrel, receiver, piston, trigger group) are all Bulgarian made at the Arsenal plant and are all mil-spec.

            everyone needs a milled AK in their collection.

              can't build a milled so I would buy that. arsenal classic and sa93 barrel look better though. sam7a1r sam7sf look better to.

                I'd want that VEPR before any other AK, and all I read about is how unfriendly Arsenal is to California. Russian red or black plastic? Come on!

                  Just want to clarify...the Bulgarian made Arsenal has better quality control and components compared to the Russian made VEPR (Molot)?

                  Not some much comparing milled vs stamped, but actual components and craftsmanship?

                  Thanks.

                      I'm sure he critical components are equal in QC.

                      The vepr looks kinda bubba to me. What is that thing behind the gas block. The handguard retainer is also kinda bubba. (Bubba- after thought/aftermarket).

                        Agreed the Vepr does not look correct.

                        Get the Arsenal.
