Hi all.
I completed my carbine build a while back and am now looking to begin another project. I am interested in building a 5.56 mm DMR capable of consistently hitting a man-sized target at a distance of 300-500 meters.
The spiritual inspiration for my build is the USMC SAM-R:
As of now, the project is in the planning stage. i have a partial list of components, as listed below. Advice and suggestions will be most welcome and appreciated. Thanks folks.
- Stag Arms stripped lower receiver
- Rock River Arms lower receiver parts kit
- Stag Arms M16A2 receiver extension
- Magpul PRS stock (5.56 mm version)
- Magpul MIAD grip
- Magpul enhanced trigger guard
- LaRue Tactical Stealth upper receiver group (20" barrel, 13.2" handguard, rifle-length gas system)
- Magpul XT rail panels
- Harris bipod (BRM-S variant w/ LaRue Tactical LT130 QD mount)
- Magpul MBUS Generation 2 front/rear sights
The scope is still being decided on. Even when the build is finished (hopefully within the next year), I would still use iron sights only until I have grown comfortable with them. Then I would consider a scope.
P.S. The rifle will be traveling inside a Pelican 1720 weapon case. To do this, I would have to separate the upper and lower receivers. Would this affect the zero on the scope?

Forget the case. Go to operationparts.com for all the KAC stuff. Especially the gas block with flip up sight for the SAM-R. Don't see it on their website anymore. So send them an email.
