Features
The milled receiver is heavier than a stamped-receiver AK but adds rigidity, which contributes to the consistent shot-to-shot accuracy the SAM5 is known for. The FIME Enhanced Trigger gives a cleaner, more consistent pull than a standard AK mil-spec trigger. The 1:7 twist barrel handles heavier 5.56 projectiles well and keeps groups tight at distance. Grey furniture sets it apart visually from the typical black or wood AK configuration.
