You'll have to find out by calling Arsenal.  If you don't want to hold out, I think there are still some SAS M-7's floating around for $1150 - $1200.  The only difference in the barrel thread and one less bayonet mount. But I can tell you that the A1 modesl tend to run about $75 more than the non-A1 models.

I just purchaced a SAM 7 A1R last week and took it to the range on Saturday 7/7/07.

The rifle fired flawlessly and I am proud to own this weapon.

BUT...today , when I reached into the gun case to pull it out, I noticed that there was some play in the muzzle break.

The detent pin below the front sight is lined up and the brake is tighened to the point where the pin is in the notch but there is some "left to right" play in the brake.

I phoned Arsenal and spoke with "Harry" . He said to send the rifle back to the factory and that the turn around time will be a "few days"

He said this was a first as he never heard of the muzzle brake loosing up like that.

It will be shipped out from the store where I purchesed it in Gainesville, Fl tomorrow.

I hope the customer service is good!

Sincerely,

Isn't that normal?  It isn't pinned, welded or soldered, it's removable right?

That's why I am wondering why he is sending it back to Arsenal to "get it fixed", as I said, "Isn't that normal?".  He has complained about this in two threads with his only two posts on the site.

I think he's going to be pretty disappointed when it comes back and is the same way.

I can't believe they even told you to send that back...totally normal.

Teflon tape does wonders.  Very heat resistant, unless you have an illegally modified full auto.
