Imaginary_Tax212@reddit

Not getting many bites on the UF huh. Personally if I had another 1500 I would get it.

[-]

All 4 models are moving! We just wanted to highlight another model this week since there's 4 models included in the 250th anniversary sale. Also to note since VA has new gun laws that will go into effect on July 1st we are offering a discount on 30 round mags for VA customers.

The old polymer left-side sidefolder style was far better. Also bring back left-side sidefolding krinks.

Current lineup just isn't as attractive as the mid 2010s.

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

The left side folding style is a stamped (SLR) configuration. Unfortunately, due to our partnership with Bulgaria and Bulgaria not producing stamped receivers we don't have these available

[-]

fatitalianstallion@reddit

Something like this could be done with current imports.

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

I will pass the suggestion along to management

[-]

Howie_Doit69@reddit

Can you also politely ask management to also politely ask Bulgaria 🇧🇬 for ARM12F’s in 5.56?….asking for a friend

[-]

fatitalianstallion@reddit

Thank you!

[-]

clintracerray@reddit

With the tax-free SBR stamps I would be all over an underfolding and a side-folding SBR.

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

we have both a UF SBR and a SF SBR, just neither is apart of this deal

[-]

fatitalianstallion@reddit

They already sell underfolding sbrs. $3kish I believe. Came out last year

[-]

dah-dit-dah@reddit

Oh wow, there's a blast from the past username

[-]

Njoyabel@reddit

I ordered one and I’m in VA. How do I use the magazine discount?

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

You can purchase the VA discounted mag from our website. If you want to use the $50 coupon because you just bought one of the 250 models, then you will need to wait until the rifle ships for the coupon code to get into your inbox.

Here is the link to the VA discounted mags: https://www.arsenalinc.com/usa/virginia-passes-significant-gun-control-laws/

[-]

bowle01@reddit

Rifle shipped but no discount code…

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

hi please reach out to arsenal customer service so we can assist you

[-]

Tara_enchanting@reddit

That’s awesome of yall. Thanks for supporting VA through this crap. Just got 4 discounted mags for my new Sam5 😛

[-]

VIc6_1@reddit

How did you get 4 discounted?

[-]

Tara_enchanting@reddit

Read the comment I was replying too homie lol. They are giving discounted mags to VA customers

[-]

steadyhandhide@reddit

…but why male models?

[-]

shmiddleedee@reddit

Side folder is so much better. Underfolder is a terrible design as far as functionality goes.

[-]

Major-021@reddit

I bought 3 of the sale rifles but didn’t get the coupon codes 😭

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

Have you checked your spam folder? we are noticing the coupon has been landing there with other customers

[-]

Major-021@reddit

Nope, got nothing. How long should I wait before reaching out to CS?

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

So actually you're currently speaking with CS. When did you purchase the rifles? Have they shipped? And did you check out as a guest on the website?

[-]

Major-021@reddit

I checked out as a guest yes and used my email. The rifles have arrived as of today

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

So we discovered earlier today that the way we were issuing the coupon it wasn't factoring in the customers that checked out as "guest". We updated it today and sent the email to those specific customers around 1pm PST today. Have you checked your email/spam folder since then? If you don't see the email please send an email to customerservice@arsenalinc.com with your order number and I will forward it along to my web admin to be able to assist you.

[-]

Buck50hzd@reddit

Would the email come from Arsenal or KVAR? I didn't get anything and I will be picking mine up tomorrow. Should it be in the box?

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

The email with the coupon comes from Arsenal

[-]

Buck50hzd@reddit

I never got one, checked spam as well

[-]

Bot_McBotterson@reddit

Mine came from Arsenal . . .

[-]

Imaginary_Tax212@reddit

It was in the Spam!

[-]

Scatty_Mke@reddit

I got mines about 5 days after purchase. But just a FYI, they only allow 2 of the sale items per household

[-]

Aenocyon_Dirus_@reddit

Would you guys be willing to offer the discount on a sam7-C?

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

The 250th anniversary discount is only for the 4 most popular models, the SAM7SF, the SAM5, the SAM7K and the SAM7UF. Unfortunately it doesn't go towards our limited run models.

[-]

Aenocyon_Dirus_@reddit

Was worth a shot i guess. Ah well.

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

you miss 100% of the shots you don't take ;)

[-]

wwwblackraindotcom@reddit

I'm still unsure what the difference is between this and a SAS M-7 with limited numbering on it.

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

A SAS M-7 Classic, is actually considered a US made receiver, the best way of describing (not the most accurate) is the rifle comes in like an 80% lower for the AR platform and then we finish building it out. The SAM7UF is a Bulgarian made receiver that we import and swap out components to make 922(r) compliant.

[-]

VIc6_1@reddit

What happens if I complete the transaction on the VA discount magazine but have an AZ address?

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

It won't go thru, we have set up filters to only allow those mags to be purchased with a VA address

[-]

Few-Entrepreneur-316@reddit

Any military discount on top of this by any chance?

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

You'll have to ask the online retailer when you place the order. Arsenal does offer a military/law enforcement discount on part and accessories on the Arsenal inc website. Please reach out to customer service to get the code

[-]

Mkilbride@reddit

Gonna be sacriledge to say here I know, but I feel like one AK is enough for me and a I got a Jack already.

[-]

listings56@reddit

They won't sell to NJ because of the 30 rd mag.

FFL's easily make the 30 a 10 rd.

[-]

jkap18@reddit

Call them. Comes with 10 rounds mag. They have strict limitations on website. Easy to correct over phone.

[-]

HeughJanus@reddit

damn yall really dropping 1500 on an ak im sitting over here happy with my $400 gf3 thats prob made with better materials

Yooo we got ourselves a masterbaiter here

[-]

Psychological_Low555@reddit

This take is so unfathomably retarded and objectively untrue it HAS to be bait

[-]

CrankyOperator@reddit

Nice bait mate.

[-]

jay_kay25@reddit

He’s definitely baiting lol. I’m not even an Arsenal fan boy but cmon, a PSA?! Zastava gives them a better run for their money no doubt

[-]

blessedbymortarion@reddit

It’s not even the best AK made in America, you’re hitting the copium like it’s oxygen.

[-]

Fearless-Jeweler-318@reddit

Its not even possible to squeeze 1500 dollars of worth into a combloc rifle platform, they are the exact same rifles they were when they were 200 dollars out of a gun show bargain bin. People joke about that with ar15s but its actually true for aks. Copers will tell you wood furniture and a milled receiver is worth 1-2k in upcharge over a plastic and stamped one but I think a normal person would have to huff paint fumes for 10 years to think that

[-]

Imaginary_Tax212@reddit

You had me until the last 4 words ha

[-]

Makemeathrowawaypls@reddit

lol

[-]

DEATHTO-THESTATE@reddit

bro the gf3 is bottom barrel as far as qc and longevity. I have one and the fireing pin has basically prolapsed the bolt face.

[-]

jay_kay25@reddit

PSA made with better parts and QC then Arsenal😂 that’s the funniest shit I’ve heard all year!

[-]

Kamikazeoi@reddit

Better material and qc at PSA than Arsenal? Cmon man. However, you can get 3 for 1!

[-]

nope_noway_@reddit

If only 7.62 wasn’t insanely priced… sold my Zastava a while ago because of ammo prices

[-]

Spare-Bodybuilder-68@reddit

I got a wicked deal on a 7.5" AR upper in 7.62, and my god that thing runs like a clock. It even suppresses better than I expected. But I genuinely can't bring myself to shoot my last half case of ammo lol. I need more 300 BLK and/or a reloading table first lol.

[-]

nope_noway_@reddit

300 blackout..Another I won’t touch because of insane ammo price. Would rather just buy more 5.56. Maybe one day I’ll stop being poor but prob not

[-]

General-Shape-5621@reddit

Just got my side fold today. Guy at the store said another guy just got the same one from the same place .(k-var)

[-]

mr_jerry@reddit

This reminds me of when Doritos had to lower prices because they found people weren't paying $7 for a bag of chips that was always $3.50.

[-]

[-]

Terrestrial_Conquest@reddit

This just isn't true. AK pattern rifles can vary drastically in build quality. They are DEFINITELY not all the same lol.

Fudd Lore in 2026? Come on......

[-]

domfelinefather@reddit

There can’t be a huge quality difference because the nicest AK is worth like $180 anyway. I say that as an AK lover and long time enthusiast that I’m glad people are able to buy these for what they cost now. AK74s in the 90s were the same price as ARs were in the 60s lol

[-]

Terrestrial_Conquest@reddit

Don't be fooled by all of these affordable AK's. They are not built to spec even by combloc standards.

People get easily fooled by the legendary AK. They think that because of its reputation they can just buy any of them and it'll work forever and without issue, because it's an AK right?

AK's got their reputation because all of the countries using them followed the same exact strict manufacturing processes and shared machinery/tooling. For a country with its own government and military? Not a big deal.

For a private company looking to invest in the raw materials and machinery needed to make reliable AK's....? Fucking expensive. This is where corners are cut and why not every AK is the same.

A Riley Defense AK, for instance, is just not going to be on par with an Arsenal. That's just facts. No matter which way you put it.

Generally speaking, foreign AK's made by companies that equipped their respective militaries, is the safest way of getting a properly made AK. Which is why WASR's are so popular. They are literally 1:1 AKM clones, just semi auto.

[-]

domfelinefather@reddit

It’s not even a matter of Riley defense vs Arsenal, it’s a matter of people remembering getting Arsenals for dirt cheap or building AKs from parts for $75 and a few hundred in tools (that many people who build things for a living or for fun may already have). They are simply just not very good or useful unless the actual shooting part of shooting is less important than having / collecting, while also being unreasonably expensive to buy and feed.

[-]

Terrestrial_Conquest@reddit

There are plenty of real reasons why an AK would cost that much, you just don't agree with those reasons and that's fine. To each their own.

Everything is more expensive nowadays, literally everything. Not just AK's. Not to mention the countless sanctions and import restrictions that have been enacted since the 90's, which will naturally increase value of foreign AK's (supply and demand). This was when American companies finally started trying to make affordable AK's but soon found out it's not as easy at is sounds. American made AK's are still not highly recommended, which makes real, quality built foreign AK's even more expensive then they already were because now they are desired over the inferior, less reliable American AK's.

It sounds like you are making the argument that AK's aren't worth the asking price, when in reality, it's just that YOU wouldn't pay that price, not that it isn't justified.

There are a whole bunch of things that go into building AK's. It's not like the AR world where you are paying a premium because some special ops group somewhere adopted a particular version and you want to LARP as an operator. You are paying a premium because the actual materials and craftsmanship involved are genuinely superior than cheaper competitors.

[-]

chuckisduck@reddit

I think that statement is from someone who shot with cheap underpowered ammo, such as Tula. That would make the perception of the AK variants of just not being accurate.

I think the same argument goes against KACs going for $4k, it boils down to scarcity in the US. The price of x39 kills the value as well.

[-]

HauntedHotsauce@reddit

I mean, for pure collectors sake, you can't deny that their worth has only increased over time. Especially since more and more aks seem to get banned.

[-]

AndyMishandy@reddit

Especially when ammo is triple what it should be

[-]

GlobalPurveyor@reddit

UF is so cool but I heard it sucks to shoot so ended up buying the SF

[-]

unixfool@reddit

I bought this same gun as a consignment item maybe 8 yrs ago, for 1000 (gun was new). It sat in my safe for years because I’d heard that they were terrible to shoot. I bought it because the price was right and I hadn’t considered that it might suck to shoot until after I’d bought it. When I shot it, I was shocked - there were no issues shooting this gun! This is a prime example of why a person shouldn’t believe everything they see on the internet.

[-]

gu1lty_spark@reddit

Yeah they're not that bad honestly. I heard that too until I got a UF and I don't see all the hate. It's no B5 stock but it's definitely usable.

[-]

Terrestrial_Conquest@reddit

Not that bad. The bare metal gets hot/cold with weather but you can wrap it with tape or paracord. The U shaped buttpad is actually pretty comfortable in my opinion though.

The polish/Romanian style side folders are where it's at though.

[-]

osnap32@reddit

My 1st ak was a UF wasr, love that thing to death, and it was that the reason why i have 5 aks now. Not sure what the fuzz is about, but UF fucks.

[-]

Ren_Kaos@reddit

Had an underfolder, never understood the problem people have with them. Really not bad at all.

[-]

brianstheman@reddit

You should request dealer flair from the mod.

[-]

LBRican@reddit

Would you guys be able to convert the side folder to fixed stock for California buyers?

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

We stopped selling firearms to the state of CA in December 2016, which is why there are no CA compliant models from Arsenal. We also ceased all sales of parts and accessories to the state of CA January 1st of this year because of the new legislation. We will not perform services for rifles going back into CA either.

[-]

LBRican@reddit

Thanks for the reply!

[-]

osnap32@reddit

Before anybody ask. Layaway not available on these.

[-]

dunluce1niner@reddit

On the post that Arsenal made the person on the account commented that they are available for layaway. I don’t have that thread pulled up (it was like a week ago) but it may be worth calling and asking

[-]

osnap32@reddit

Yeah i was on there as well, i was one who asked, called and was told they had suspended layaway and that theses on promo dont qualify.

[-]

arsenalinc-cs@reddit (OP)

Unfortunately, since the rifles are being sold by a separate online retailer, that decision to stop doing layaway was made before being communicated with Arsenal Customer Service. My apologies for the confusion it provided
