Yes, I have one and it's imo the best setup for the Sam7. Made specifically for that model, super easy to install and locks up real tight. I also bought the AR pistol tube adaptor that utilizes the same folding mechanism so you can put an AR style pistol brace on there now and when your stamp comes in, you simply switch it out for tubular Galil style stock.

What's involved with installation on a SAM7?

What's involved with installation on a SAM7? Some of the dedicated sam7k adapters have a screw setup that fits in that figure 8 hole and then you tighten down a nut on the inside of the gun. If you go that route, its less modifications to the gun, but the adapter must have some sort of lip on it to keep from pivoting around the one stud. If you look closely at the cncwarrior photos, it has 4 such lips to keep it from rotating. So it looks to be bigger than the receiver in every direction. Or you can drill and tap the back of the receiver for the standard ace-pattern 2-hole stock adapters. The back of the receiver is strong and thick enough to hold onto the 2 screws. I used a $7 dewalt drill bit and tap from Lowes and it worked fine on my sam7k. |

The sam7k is the pistol line. There's the one oddball -03 model has its own buffer tube setup from the factory. All the other models have a sling swivel mounted on the back. You cut through the swivel with a dremel and it falls out. Then you're left with a figure-8 shaped hole in the rear of the gun.

I am about to install one of the CSS folding AR receiver extension adapters. It is an ACE type setup with the boss in the middle. I'll file the existing hole into a slot, drill holes large enough for screws to go through, and use nuts and maybe some washers on the backside. The plate on the back of the receiver is probably thick enough to support a tapped configuration, but it still isn't very thick and I'd like to have more than a couple threads of contact. I'm probably going to install a Shockwave brace on this one.

As far as more details about what everything looks like on the back of the gun this thread has pictures of the swivel and the figure 8 hole after you cut the swivel off. Installation of the CNCwarrior folding hinge really is just sticking a stud through that hole and tightening a nut. http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188548 |

Come to find out the folding AR stock adapter at CSS is an ACE product. I installed it today. It doesn't add much length at all. I filed a slot for the boss and decided to just tap the back plate. I had 2 threads of engagement on one side and 3 threads on the other side of each hole. It seemed solid enough. I'll keep an eye on it after getting some range time and go with that Stormwerks part if needed.

I just saw that KVAR has a SAM7k with the correct threaded gas block now. It also has the small section of 1913 rail with a sling swivel. Any idea if one of the MPX stocks that attach to a rail section would work? I would hope the rail section is bolted on. That would open up stock options.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I *believe* that the rail is part of the receiver, or welded on. I've seen pics of the MPX style stock and brace so I think its safe to say those are compatible. 
 The pic rail is bolted on. There probably aren't any existing adapters or mounts yet to put other stocks on with that square hole interface. But its something that'll probably happen pretty soon. http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5161686&postcount=37 The question I have is if there's enough meat left here to drill and tap the rear end for a stormwerkz hinge. That's the most compact way to setup the rear end. And on the model with just the sling swivel, there was plenty of room left to poke your holes and mount the hinge without needing 5 layers of adapters. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think you'd wind up regretting it. I believe that with a little patience, CNCW and others will start to fab some sleek adapters that use this square cutout and bolt system to mount to. And the general and specifically torsional strength of those will be formidable. I like the OG sam7k receiver. No problems at all drilling and tapping the ass end of it. You dont get the added girth from some unnecessary intermediate adapter. |

Good advice. Hard to wait for a part to be fabbed. I just got my sam7k44 and I'm thinking of spending the 100$ on the sig folding buffer tube adapter... cncwarrior doesn't pick up the phone or answer emails regarding timeline for the part. On another note, SLR rifleworks did answer my queries and the EXT handguard for sam7k will be avail in 3 weeks...
