So this has been running in my head for a while does anyone notice that arsenal used to be decent budget but for now they have a inner circle club and forget the consumer markets in general or is it just me. Limited runs instead of full production.
Their AKs, rifles and pistols, function flawless. At least the Sam7R and Sam7K variants. Overpriced, yes and no. Limited availability drives up prices. Gotta remember Romanian made AKs go for $1k if not on sale in small numbers $930 might as well call it $1k.
Bulgaria has one of the largest arms industries in the area. Any exports to the United States commercial market is very small peanuts, and not big on their list of things to do…
That sucks
The AK74’s in Ukrane and throughout the world come from russia and bulgaria. The introduction of M4 carbines to ukrane is slowly phasing the AK74 out in the long term. And the AK 74 round is short-lived in comparison to the AK-47 more more countries are moving to the NATO round.

I’ve become somewhat of an AK fan. Got a bottom level PSA AK103 and really like it. More accurate than I expected and works with any ammo I’ve fed it.
