recent addition to the collection. It is a ban Model with pinned muzle brake and has never been fired. What do you guys think is it a keeper?

I have the exact same rifle and it is very accurate well made weapon. I have original grip though I think it looks better with it. I don't know what they are worth all I know is I have had people shoot mine and offer me alot of cash to get me to part with it. Mine is a SAM-7R

What are these milled AK's worth these days? Maybe $1,100. But finding buyers for ban era guns can be tough. Wouldnt they be perfect for New Yorkers and the likes? Yeah, but for the same money they could get a pre-ban chicom with all the banned features. Most guys would go for that before they'd get a neutered milled AK. I sold a ban era SAM7 classic and had a very hard time finding a buyer. |

| well if you talk to some of the smiths they can replace the gas block with a bayonet lug still intact and then have them put on a proper removable break and she is then a non ban model. Then if I ever get around to this I will have mine finished in somthing better than the flaky enamel arsenal used to paint these weapons. |

Not even remotely close to the crap finish on their stamped guns. |
| I didn't know it was a powder coating so I geuss i learned somthing new. I assumed it was an enamel beens it came off the muzzle so easy on mine.well I bought mine back in the ban days, maybe now they have a better finish but there use to be many people from the ban days that wished it was better. It really seems to come off the muzzlebreak really easy maybe it has gotten bumped one to many times maybe it was just mine then I remember way back 2005 and 2006 threads on the finish of arsenals milled- slr-95, sam-7, sam-7r were always a problem. It is good enough but the complaint was when you pay 800 bucks for an ak in 2005 that the finish should be more durable. My wasr was bought before my sam and it still has the crap finish on her even though it wasn't much in the first place it has held up better than the sam-7r has. I like the look of the black finish on it Just don't trust it much is all. |
