Is this a feasible project?

Where do you get the receiver?

I’d guess that means all the stuff is still attached to it and not stripped down.

Im probably in the minority, but I’m not sure I see the appeal of these, at least until someone can determine what’s compatible with a SAR.  Even then, a 15” vs 16” barrel isn’t a huge difference.  You could get a new optic rail for the SAR to mimic the IDF look.

Kinda like the Malay AUG kits, none of those parts aside from a useless handful were compatible with the domestic semi-auto AUGs.

Will these kits work as a spare parts kit for an SAR?

Those kits were very popular with the 3d print community.  I say "were" as they have dried up from said community.

Some parts will.

Trigger pack won't as it's a different shape
Bolt carrier will have full auto trip so it won't fit in a sa receiver, but can be ground off.

Polymer stock should, based on my experience with X95s, if anything I may need some fitting.

Rest of the parts should be interchangeable.

Still have my SAR.  Swapping to a Shooting Sight trigger made it much better.  Converted it to 9mm after getting a 5.56 X95.
