Unfortunately I only had some M855 ball so it shot as expected, 2-3" groups. I shot all my 77 gr. so I'm definitely looking at reloading in order to feed these two. |

I'm actually considering a TA01B, the AMU used it because the 7.62 BC is pretty close to the 77 gr BC. I've seen a couple pictures of TA01's and TA31 so I think either will work. |

Can anyone show a picture of how a Harris bipod mounts to an arms 17? I've tried to figure it out not actually having a #17 in hand. It seems like there must be a piece in the middle that screws to the #17 then the Harris attaches to that piece.

The 17 was not used? I was reading the first page and it said the SDM-R used a Harris bipod mounted with a #17. I thought that was kinda odd. Everything else uses a #32.

Is that piece the #32? You remove the Harris thumbscrew assembly, and the square portion of the #32 goes through the base of the bipod and screws to the base of the #32. The #32 (with bipod attached) is then screwed to the #17 which interfaces with the rail.  |

Doubt it, it's basic economics, supply and demand. KAC doing a run would help, but it was never a heavily produced part even when it was being made so I doubt that will happen. Thank goodness I got mine 5 years ago, at these prices it's a spectators sport. |

Knowledgeable sellers are going to research pricing and try to get top dollar and those looking evidently will keep paying it. The trick is finding one from a guy who doesn't know how sought after they are so they just look up msrp and sell it at a discounted rate. Like, say, 400 bucks on eBay a few months back that I somehow managed to snag after showing for at least an hour. Of course it was a stock picture and sold by a not-so-established seller who hadn't sold anything in a long time so I was taking a chance but it paid off in a major way. Just be patient and watch new items hit the board like it's your job. Of course I think it was karma having mercy on me after what I offered up for a vero beach ras but that's beside the point

Buyers, rarity and competition determine market prices. I would argue that if your seller sold that same sight on ee the price it would of gone for much more. Can people wait and find a deal, sure, but there are plenty willing to pay high prices to get in the game and for the knowing seller those individuals are what's driving the price. He's right he did get a hell of a deal at that price. The clone game isn't a cheap one and isn't for everyone. |

Buyers, rarity and competition determine market prices. I would argue that if your seller sold that same sight on ee the price it would of gone for much more. Can people wait and find a deal, sure, but there are plenty willing to pay high prices to get in the game and for the knowing seller those individuals are what's driving the price. He's right he did get a hell of a deal at that price. The clone game isn't a cheap one and isn't for everyone. This picture should serve as a disclaimer for any prospective SAM-R builders.

Recently rebarreled my SDM-R after a barrel disaster with Superior Barrels.
Coughed up a Compass Lake Douglas SS with flutes. Put it all back together only to find out after I get back from range testing and sighting in that the 3 and 9 o'clock rails on my DD M4 12.0 rail are cracked about a cm at the end of the rail towards the FSB. What's worse, there's wiggle in the rail between the rail body and the locking ring assembly (these are the 2 parts held together by the 4 large spot welds at the 2, 5, 7, and 10 o'clock positions). This is not the locking collar that's loose, and I wish it was that simple. I'm guessing the barrel smacked the rail at some point as there are corresponding marks on either side of the barrel indicating contact. The 2 and 5 o'clock spot welds may be broken as well causing the wiggle. Must have taken a big hit at some point, just not sure when. I got the rail used some years back. The rail has been well loved, didn't looks terribly abused. Just a waste, as this is the octagonal lock ring M4 rail. Almost had the perfect clone. I still came close, but now the rail is damaged and I'm not sure I can trust aiming devices mounted on the rail. Anyone have any info on alternative rails that are clone correct? Update: I think I may have solved the rail wiggle and salvaged the rail--green wicking loctite, followed by red loctite. More to come when it cures in 24hours. |

How is everybody's A.R.M.S. #22 rings holding up? I still have the pair I bought back in the early 2000's, but I haven't mounted them on anything in at least a decade. I remember having a hell of a time getting them on the Olympic upper I had at the time.
Edited to Add: If anyone manages to find that damned unicorn of a front sight/gas block made by Knights Armament, please...in the name of all that is holy...shoot me a PM or post here in this thread. I check this thread at least twice a day. |

Not sure if I'll ever be able to take the thing apart again, but oh well. Put some drops of green wicking loctite on the cracks in the front of the rail. So far no more movement on the either side of the cracks. I'm hopeful I got this rail saved. |

There's actually a little irony with the use of red loctite with getting this rifle back to working that's associated with this particular rifle build if anyone wants to know. But I won't derail this thread unless OP is okay with me sharing, Also had a chance to zero today and got about 1.25" 100yd 5-shot groups with Win 55gr .223 white box using irons with the occasional flyer. I'm calling this build done, finally. Now the search for a TA-31F. Would anyone like to donate one to me?
