Description
When the stakes are high and reliability isn’t a feature but a requirement, you need a rifle built from the ground up for duty. The Arsenal SAM7R-84R, 7.62×39, Milled, 16.25″, 10rd, Folding Stock, Quadrail is the answer. It’s a purpose-built, milled-receiver AK platform chambered in the hard-hitting 7.62x39mm cartridge, designed for serious use with a folding stock and integrated quadrail handguard for immediate accessory mounting.
This isn’t a parts kit assembled on a new receiver. The SAM7R-84R is manufactured on a single, solid milled steel receiver—the same method used for military-grade AKs. That milled construction provides a rock-solid foundation, reducing flex and increasing long-term durability. The 16.25-inch chrome-lined barrel is cold hammer-forged for exceptional accuracy and longevity, pushing the 7.62x39mm round with authority. At a total length of 34.5 inches with the stock extended, it balances maneuverability with a full-power cartridge.
The integrated quadrail forend is a major tactical advantage. It provides four full-length Picatinny rails for lights, lasers, vertical grips, or other mission-critical gear. This setup is drop-in ready; you can mount a Streamlight ProTac or a Surefire Scout light directly to the rail without needing an adapter or gunsmithing. The side-folding polymer stock locks up tight for compact storage or vehicle use and deploys instantly to a solid, repeatable cheek weld.
Arsenal’s attention to detail shows in the fit and finish. The rifle features a polished bolt carrier, an enhanced safety lever with a notch for silent operation, and a 90-degree gas block for a clean sight picture. The trigger is a smooth, two-stage military unit that breaks cleanly. With a weight of approximately 7.9 pounds unloaded, it has a substantial, planted feel that soaks up recoil, making follow-up shots fast and controlled.

Built to military specifications with top-tier fit and finish. Chambered in the proven and widely available 7.62x39mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this rifle accept standard AK-47 magazines?
A: Yes. The SAM7R-84R is compatible with standard, double-stack AK-pattern magazines in 7.62x39mm. The included 10-round magazine is for compliance, but you can use other available capacities where legally permitted.
Q: Is the quadrail handguard removable for a traditional setup?
A: No. The quadrail is integrated into the front end of the rifle, replacing the traditional handguard retainer and lower handguard. This provides a permanent, ultra-secure mounting platform but is not designed to be swapped for wood or polymer furniture.
Q: What is the advantage of a milled receiver over a stamped one?
A: Milled receivers are machined from a solid block of steel, making them significantly more rigid and durable than stamped sheet metal receivers. This reduces receiver flex, which can contribute to better consistency and longevity, though it adds some weight. It’s the construction method used on the original AK-47 and military-grade models.
