That looks like an unmarked upper, no FN or Colt forge marks?

I can pull under an MOA at 100 from a bag via Black Hills 77gn SMK red box.

I am in the awesome process of customizing my own rounds now too....

When the AMU builds you a rifle- smile, say thank you, and hope you live up to it's potential. Who gives a rat's ass what's stamped on the side?

ARFCOM cares, if it is not made my COLT/FN, or an upper has a few cosmetic imperfections under the anodizing, they are afraid it will shatter in their hands

My post was done somewhat in jest, referring to that

ETA: go to this link, sdmr rifles, enlarge it if necessary, and look at the front of the LOWER on the LEFT, if a arfcomer had that forging flash on his lower, we would NEVER hear the end of it.....

ironically, 2 of my 3 Colt M4 uppers, and both of my Colt A4 uppers are GRAY rather than black, and we know what will happen if I post pictures of them on my current Black lowers because I am sure the paper targets will really care

I used a CMT upper and had Compass Lake Engineering install and flute the 1/8 Douglas SS barrel. RRA lower with Geissele match trigger

gunnut003  What kind of barrel is that? and where can I find one? Is the barrel twist a 1/8" or 1/7" I'm getting some parts lists together so I might make my build as close to the real SDM rifle as I can.

The first SDMRs used the KAC 2-stage trigger that was semi auto only.

KAC does however make AUTO 2-stage match triggers that are used in Mk12Mod0/Mod1s.

The Gieselles, semi autos, are used to replace prematurely worn KAC triggers in ARMY SDMRs. there may be Autos used as well, but I dont know.

The armalite's I shot did very well out to 600...with the acog, kept all shots within a 5 inch circle.
8/8/2008 8:01:58 AM EDT
[#27]
Thats pretty impressive @ 600...with an ACOG.  Did the Armalite have a Geissele trigger or the Knights trigger package. The reason I'm asking is because I want to build a clone as close as possible down to the very smallest detail, and hope to get great performance out of it. I have even researched how many flutes are on the heavy barrel that is installed onto the rifle.  I also want it to be correct for my collection.

That goes without saying since, I'd put money down that most ARFCOMmers that are enthusiastically planning for the day when zombies roam the Earth would either lock themselves in the closet or die within 20min immitating something ridiculous on [add name of movie/TV show here].

school house DMRs are armalite receiver and barrel with an armalite NM trigger.  Units can build their own...

Really would like to see more manufactures / Builders offer complete uppers and or complete rifles.

So sharkbait who do you think would be a good candidate for making a SDM-R upper. Armalite, Bravo Company, CMMG, or Danial defense, would be my first ABCD choices of makers of a good quality SDM-R. Any other companies you think might want to start a build for an upper. Lets through the ball in there court and find out who would be willing to start a project to civilian market place.

My obvious concession was a vortex FH since I shoot w/ NOD's a lot. Other than that it is based off a Douglas SDM-R barrel that was available a couple years ago.
