Arsenal suppose to announce on August 7th..."the next and the most advanced member of the SAM family of firearms."

I hope they announce that this game changer is made priced for the common man. $400.00 msrp.  yeehaw.

I'm guessing a SAM-12
Milled 12 gauge
 

I know they said 7.62x39 but I can dream, can't I?

That would go against thier policy of selling ak's for 2 or 3 times the price of an ar. The AK-47 was designed to be cheap to manufacture but arsenal found a way around that.

What was it that P.T. Barnum guy said?

This is their Game Changer. Right-Side Folding Stock on a Forged and Milled Receiver with an Ambidextrous Safety.

It looks good. They took a page from their SAM7 pistol and incorporates the safety and hand grip into their rifle.

Folder looks good.

Not the ground breaking super weapon I was expecting but it is nice.

Looks good, but yeah I was expecting the AK12.  But I'll wait for the Galil Ace in 762

Amazing introductory price if you can one for that price!

Me too!  Timing is a mother Fer!  And screwed me again for the 2nd time in two months.   

Alright!  Who pulled the trigger on one and bought??  Might have to put my 107CR up for sale......

I wonder if they can combine orders going to the same ffl to save on shipping..........

I wouldn't see why not...just multiple credit cards for multiple rifles going to the same FFL/address, so long as K-VAR has a copy of the receiving FFL (provided by FFL holder) and shipping info. The Hawaii FFL holder may likely require a per weapon charge to use his FFL for each transaction/customer even if it is a bulk shipment, since he still has to do paperwork for each firearm. That would be my guess.

Agreed.  More than happy to pay the FFL fee.  Would rather buy local but not sure if local shops will be within $100 of $1349. If so I would buy local.  Bought rifles from kvar before and shipping was $60-75. If that number can be cut in half, I'm all for it.

So..... in other words, their "Game Changer" is a 1960s Galil in 7.62?

No, I think you’re given this Arsenal way to much credit but I’m old school. Taking 922r into consideration, I believe the SAS-M7 Classic (No Ban) and SAM-7 Classic (No Ban) are the only modern day AK’s that resemble an authentic Type III AK configuration. That being said, at $1349, it’s a good price.

ppardon me for not being as enthused about this "game changer" but all i see is another milled ak in 7.62 with an easy to do in house galil safety conversion and an even easier to do side folding stock that isn't flush with the reciever and only seems to be a hastily decided weld on job instead of a proper riveted in side folder like found on the Ak - 103. all this for for the price of over $1300. it seems to me you'd be better of in all categories if you had just bought a VZ 58 with para stock instead.
