Arsenal's SAM7UF-85PM is a semi-automatic AK-pattern rifle in 7.62x39mm built on a milled receiver cut from a hot-die hammer-forged blank. The 16.3-inch hammer-forged barrel carries 14x1mm left-hand threads under a factory muzzle nut, the furniture is plum, and the reinforced straight-back under-folding stock locks in both the folded and extended positions. A FIME Group FM-922EUS enhanced fire control group shortens trigger travel, the sights are adjustable irons with a factory side rail for optics, and the rifle weighs 8.5 pounds at 36.25 inches overall.

Illinois restricts firearm deer season to shotguns with slugs, muzzleloaders, qualifying handguns and single-shot centerfire rifles of .30 caliber or larger, which keeps this rifle in the range and collection category in the state. The folding stock shortens it for the safe or the case, the side rail takes an optic mount without disturbing the irons, and one 10-round magazine, a cleaning kit, oil bottle, sling and storage case come with it.
