Other milled-receivers are machined from bar stock but Arsenals hot-die hammer forging produces stronger and finer-grained steel. Internal voids and cooling deformations are eliminated by the 5-ton hammer forging process. – Each SAM7K-44 forged pistol receiver starts out as a blank and requires over 5.5 hours of milling before assembly. This forging and milling process is very complex and time-intensive but with our meticulous attention to detail we deliver a receiver of unequalled strength precision and durability. – Summary – 7.62x39mm milled receiver Threaded Front Sight Block (standard Krink configuration with 24×1.5mm RH threads) Picatinny rail for rear attachments QD sling swivel scope rail.
