Are there pictures with these being used instead of the adapter?

You'll have to zoom in on these, but all of the ones I've seen have the P/N:20288. The bipods are mounted too close to the rail to be using a P/N:98060.    |

I do like the clean look, might have to make the switch. Did you have to fit the stud or the nut to get it to work? On another note it does look like most of the SDM-Rs pictured here had the arms 32. |

Just found this thread. I'm starting my SAM-R build. I've got the KAC fsgb, the lower,upper , a2 stock, FF RAS , everything except the barrel and charging handle I think. I've already contacted compass lake. They say 4-weeks on the barrel. My question is what scope are you using? Do the leupold 3-9 scopes ever come up in the EE?

If you don't want to wait, Fulton Armory can get you a Criterion or Krieger finished barrel in about a week, but I understand waiting for the CLE. The 3-9 show up every once in a while, but plenty of similar variants show up too. I found an illuminated mil-dot M3 and jumped on it. Pic for pic thread: although I'm not sure if this will go on a 2nd SAM-R or a Recce with a medium FF RAS or something I haven't considered yet...

If someone here happens to decide to get rid of an extra KAC fsgb let me know. I'm sure I can make it worth your while. This clone addiction has gotten out of hand. I'm doing all my lowers on a mini mill and 80%'s so I can get the markings as close as possible. I'll have pics soon.

Do arms 22 high rings come in stock in batches or are the discontinued completely? Trying to find out if I need to search for some or just be patient for another batch.

But expect around $500. For a SAM-R, you're gonna be close to $1K for just the barrel, FSGB, installation of the FSGB, gas tube and FH. |

Last one on eBay went for 250.00 I believe but I don't think it was as nice cosmetically. |

That's why I said I was working on a SAM-Rish clone, some of the real deal parts are made of unobtanium for guys like me with limited budgets. |

Bump
Most of my parts shipped yesterday. If all goes to plan, I'm 2-3 weeks away from completion of my near clone.

I'm seeking an alternative to the KAC FFS, I want to get the party started and thats my last decision. I went with the AT3 tactical 12" FF due to its near identical appearance to the KAC rail at 1/2 the price, a Stag 1/9 20" HBAR, a YHM flip up gas block(due to the rarity and price of the original PRI gas blocks), a Surefire supressor brake, and my personal setup has a B5 Sopmod(gen 2) collapsible rather than the fixed stock(I have one for correctness, but prefer the B5 since this isn't a range toy it's a Piggy blaster that will get lugged through soybean fields and swamps. I'm calling it the SAM-R Mod. Charlie{Civilian}). I got the ARMS #22 rings and surplus AN/PVS 14 mount today, but again due to cost, I'll be using a Nikon P223 in 3-9x40 until I can afford the Leupold Mk4. It's going to look close, but it won't be exact those purists who know will be able to pick it apart. I'm on an extreme budget so I have to make due with what I have. It's starting to look like a SAM-R on a MK12 mod H lower. ETA: If I can scratch together some more money, I want to get on the "I can wait" list for a LaRue MBT. |

Got the upper back from ADCO a few weeks ago and I finally got to test fire it today. Now I just need to decide on an optic.
