I should have bought it when I had the chance.
My sam7sf has turned a lot of guys in my shooting group from:
"I would never own an AK" to "who is bringing their AK out today?"
I hope my sam7k will soon be my most interesting item as I plan to learn the appropriate and valuable mods from this forum.
As for your question on the SAM7-94E and any of the other fixed stock SAM series... SAM7R/SAM5, yes, you can change out the stock for something else. Unfortunately, the offerings are limited because they use upper and lower tangs like the Type III AK, unlike an AKM that uses just an upper tang which has more drop in offerings like the Magpul Zhukov stock (personally not a fan of, but others like it). I personally like the upper and lower tangs because it's more bombproof and stays true to the current Bulgarian military version of these rifles. I keep a lot of my stuff in military configuration because that's what I like. Others like using a lot of aftermarket stuff that can be hit or miss. The AR-M9 stock set is among the best for fixed stock use, very comfortable, nice comb height for optics, and the handguard is like an M16A1 triangular handguard, but slimmer, more rounded with grip cuts for palm and thumb.
You're not necessarily painted into a corner though with the upper and lower tangs, you can cut the rivets off the lower tang or the lower tang itself (cutting the rivets is a better way to go instead of flush cutting the lower tang) to use AKM type furniture and stock sets. For instance, the Magpul Zhukov or wood AKM furniture. There is wood furniture that will work with the upper and lower tangs and those are ones that work with the "type 3 AK-47." If you get rid of the lower tang there's any number of adapters for AR-15 stocks and other stock systems that are offered by CNC Warrior, JMAC Customs, Carolina Shooter Supply for the AK rifles. Those three places are fantastic for getting an idea of what can be done or used in the aftermarket realm. You could go heavy @$$ Russian steel stock sets that are pretty cool, but heavy as i mentioned. You see a lot of Spetsnaz special forces guys rocking stuff like Zenitco and KPYK stock sets. You can find some of that at Legion USA. Again, the lower tang most likely would need removed for those of course.
