I really need to scrunch down to use the irons with this stock. Good for use with optics, not so good for iron sights. The stock is very rigid and locks up so tight it needs to be tapped with a non marring hammer to release it. It is not objectionable, so long as you don’t have an optic in the scout position, but it is noticeable. The massive birdcage flash suppressor makes it very muzzle heavy. The 7SF is a bit of a pig in this regard. They are quick to the shoulder and fast to bring on target. My SAM 7 Carbines are very handy, even with an Ultimak and Aimpoint up front. One of the things that makes or breaks a rifle for me is what I like to call its handiness. With these purposes in mind, I will look at this rifle in greater detail. The task for this rifle is three fold:ġ) to have a post ban gun with all the evil features before the demopubilicans screw us againĢ) to have an optically sighted carbine for informal three gun shootsģ) to have an accurate AK ‘Galil’ in 7.62 for all around use including even shooting deer I rate a new rifle on its form, fit and function vis a vi the task I have in mind to use it for.

New Arsenal, new year, what could be better? So I called up my dealer and told him to get one for me. The price was way up there, but I added up the cost of the custom work by a smith like Krebs and came to the conclusion that while high, and perhaps to come down later when the first post AWB feeding frenzy subsides, it was OK for the rifle as perceived in the dim cross section shown in the Shotgun news ad. I see the Arsenal rifles as the Galils or better of the AK world and the thought of a side folding Arsenal with the Galil thumb safety and a flash suppressor left me drooling. Many years ago I had a very nice Galil that had to be sold after a lay off. When I saw the ads for this rifle last fall after the passing of the AWB I was quite excited.

The guys over on another board suggested I post this here.
