Arsenal SAM5 Gray Cerakote | 5.56x45mm | 16.3in | 30rd

The Arsenal SAM5 in gray Cerakote is a milled-receiver AK-pattern rifle chambered for .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO that combines traditional AK ergonomics with high-quality Bulgarian manufacturing techniques. It features a cold hammer-forged, chrome-plated barrel and a milled receiver made from a hot-die hammer forged blank for increased strength and longevity. This configuration includes an AK scope rail and a color-matching 30-round magazine for immediate use on the range. For an optic under $1,000, the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 pairs well with the SAM5 for close-to-mid-range work and target engagement.
