My First Rifle… Was an AK | Arsenal SAM7R Review

My first rifle was an AK — and it set the standard for everything that came after. In this video, I take a look at the Arsenal SAM7R, a milled AK that’s known for its durability and classic feel. We go over the basics of the platform, how it runs, and what it’s like actually shooting and living with an AK. From manual of arms to recoil and accuracy, this is a real-world look at whether the AK still holds up today and why the SAM7R remains one of the most respected options out there.
