K-Var Corp has announced that the SAM7R-62 rifle is now available at a listed price of $1,499.99. The SAM7R-62 is built on a milled receiver machined from a hot-die-hammer-forged steel billet, a construction method intended to enhance durability and accuracy. Chambered in 7.62×39mm, the rifle combines traditional AK design with modern manufacturing processes.

According to K-Var, the SAM7R-62 is designed to deliver consistent reliability and precise machining within the AK platform. The model’s robust receiver and classic layout are said to make it suitable both for range use and for collectors interested in high-quality examples of the platform.

According to the press release, the key features of the SAM7R-62 include:

  • Cold-hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel for long life and consistent accuracy
  • Milled receiver construction ensuring tighter tolerances and enhanced durability
  • High-quality polymer furniture offering balance, comfort, and modern ergonomics
  • Side-mounted optics rail for mounting a wide range of optics and accessories
  • Bayonet and cleaning rod included, staying true to the rifle’s classic lineage

“At K-Var, we take pride in offering exceptional firearms that combine legendary design with unbeatable value,” said a K-Var spokesperson. “The SAM7R-62 embodies quality and performance, and we’re proud to make it available at an outstanding price point for our customers.”

For those who don’t know the difference between a milled and a stamped receiver, we’ll take a moment to explain briefly. A milled one is machined from a solid steel billet; it’s heavier, stiffer, often pricier and can aid with rigidity and fit. A stamped one is formed from sheet metal, so it becomes lighter, and cheaper to produce, a bit more flexible but easier to manufacture at scale. Personally, I’d prefer a milled receiver.

    How is this any different from any of the other overpriced milled rifles they've been selling? No one cares. We want stamped steel.

    "Joins"? There's reviews of this thing from 2022 on the linked product page. This is the same milled SAM7R which was offered before. So confused...
