Arsenal SAM5-62. Get it while you can!

Come along with me in today’s video as we take a look at an awesome rifle from Arsenal! The SAM5-62 in 5.56x45 NATO. We’ll discuss this beautiful rifle and show off it’s capability at the range! I hope you enjoy the video and please remember to like and subscribe!

I like the video! There is a shocking LACK of SAM5 videos out there, I might have to make one as well.

[@Addictive_Ordnance]

Thanks man!

[@VRGalaxy_762]

Awesome video. The SAM5 is the 5.56 AK King. Would love to see more videos on this one. Keep up the great work!

[@Addictive_Ordnance]

I appreciate all the kind words! Thanks for watching!

[@bradwiller7706]

I'm hearing the KNS piston is mandatory because the SAM5 will start to ding the crap out of the rear carrier/firing pin on the rear receiver because they are way over gassed. Let us know what yours is experiencing and if you did try the KNS adjustable piston

[@basementgamer2262]

Please do some followup content with the sam5. Would love to see how some different magazines workout for you. I bought one back in October and only have about 300 rounds through it. A guy at work didn't know what he had and gave me two 30 round smoke and one 20 round smoke Bulgarian mags for free. On Monday I close on 22 acres here in Kentucky and am looking forward to getting more rounds through all my guns😃

[@Addictive_Ordnance]

I’ll definitely do that man! Congrats on the land!

[@deputyearp]

Great job! 👍 I I have heard good things about Arsenal. Obviously this one is special.

[@josephrizzo7500]

I thought these would be gone by now. I ordered one this week. The sam5 67.

[@GammaZeta]

Great video, just ordered. My distributor only had two black ones left and 6 plum. Price is okay for a milled receiver. I run a machine shop so I understand how much machine time it takes to mill a large forging. And if you screw up, the forging is scrap. What is not cool is $29 for a saw grip. LOL.

[@Rakaben]

Don’t see the point of owning a 5.45 nowadays. I’m sticking with 5.56 and x39 until it dries out. Good info! Thank you

Does anyone know what the difference between the sam5 67 and 62 is

[@JOEBURNES2006]

[@azalkathegunpowderdragon9439]

only issues with mine is over gassed to hell and insane trigger slap.. but a kns and alg were going in anyway

[@Addictive_Ordnance]

In my experience, most aks are overgassed and could definitely benefit from a trigger upgrade, so I agree. Thanks for watching!

[@wademichalski768]

Did you get the kns and alg in? If so is the difference might and day? I’ve heard good things

[@michaelsmith3381]

True most AKs are over gassed but the SAM5 takes it to another level. I like my SAM5 but out of the box it was so over gassed it sent dented brass casings 30 yards across the firing line, and if I did not install the KNS piston it would have beaten the internals to death. It’s so over gassed when I installed the KNS piston I ordered the appropriate small caliber head. Even with the head fully open and letting off all the gas I could, it still sent dented brass flying into the next county. I call KNS (awesome company btw) and they were very helpful and replaced my piston head from the S to the W. They have received so many calls about the SAM5 being over gassed they suggest using the piston designed to let off gas for larger calibers. After the installation of the W head I was able to tame the over gassing issues and the rifle is now pleasant to shoot. The other issue was the horribly canted front sight block. I understand that a lot of AKs have canted sights but not a lot of AKs cost 2 grand. For that price I would have expected more.

Thank you, man! Great video. Can you make an additional video with magazine compatibility due to the Arsenal is out of stock for Sam 5 mags. Or will you give any response recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Completely agree!

[@ml572749]

I have one the only problem I have with it the Sam5 does not like polish mags.

[@davelpz3340]

I really wanted to get one, but to me doesn’t make sense. This is Daniel Defense/BCM money. This won’t be as accurate or as light either.

[@Addictive_Ordnance]

It is quite accurate, but no not near as lite. It does have more character however, and it is infinitely more collectible. Consequently, it will only continue to rise in value, while a DD will not change much at all. I respect your opinion however and am grateful for you watching the video!

[@davelpz3340]

Yeah those smoke mags are crap , circle 10s are good to go, it has metal feed lips

[@andrewkenseth4814]

I want one bad, however for a 5.56 platform Arsenal needs to lower the damn price and increase production. $2400 can kiss my ass. BCM, Daniel Defense, Geissele, etc all make better 5.56 platforms for the same or less. There is just no way in hell an AK is worth $2400 from the factory.

You just have to try one! Thanks for watching!
