Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas Sam 7 A1 R, 7.62x39 (milled receiver)
Bought the AK in mid 2006 from atlanticfirearms online. FYI, had good exp. With atlantic, and would buy from them again.
General Info…
- Gun…
- Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas Sam 7 A1 R, 7.62x39
- milled receiver ( as opposed to stamped, most AKs are stamped )
- scope mount on the side
- paid $860
- have it zeroed in for 50 yards, I know it should be 25 yards but range will not let me shoot a high powered rifle at 25 yards next to the hand gunners, kinda stupid I think.
- Weather: 70 degrees and overcast
- Ammo used: Wolf Military classic HP 124gr. 7.62x39
- Sights: iron sights
- I did try my leupold 4x12 scope on a belrus mount BUT did not include for range info
- Position: all shots from bench rest
- Shooter: average to below average shooter, I am near sighted but do not wear glasses
- all groups were three shot groups
- Date: 09/10/2006
50 yard range info…
- 2 inch groups from cold barrel
- 2-3 inch groups from hot barrel
50 yard with 4x12 Leupold scope…
- had to really drift LOW to get it hitting the paper plate sized target
- in three shots would work like a champ, next three shoots 5 mins later after no changes, it was WAY HIGH (6-8 inches) once again, out of the clear blue
- not sure what was happening so I gave up using it for today
100 yard range info…
- 2-3 inch groups from cold barrel
- 2-4 inch groups from hot barrel
Conclusions…
- The gun shoots better than me, I am the weak link
- Even with Wolf ammo on a milled AK, consistent COM shots are easily achievable in 100 yards.
- A milled AK and a high quality stamped AK can produce similar results. Got very similar groups from my stamped Armory USA/Global Trades AMD-63.
- the iron sights can get fuzzy very fast at 50 and 100 yards after repeated focusing, which at times made it kinda hard to shot, but not too bad.
- Very happy with my purchase, no regrets.
- Gonna have to figure out what is going on with the scope and mount, something is not right, will have to figure it out.
The road ahead…
- Will post results of iron sights comparison of…
- Armory USA/Global Trades AK-47 AMD-63
- Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas Sam 7 A1 R, 7.62x39 (milled receiver)
and also…
- Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas Sam 7 A1 R, 7.62x39 (milled receiver) with 4x12 Leupold scope on it.
