That's what I thought. I'm getting one that has been de-banned.Bachelor_of_Science said:The "S" is the old standard for an optic railed gun, hence; SA M-7S. These were post ban models. Now, if the gun is so equipped with an optic rail, it rates an "R." Ex: SA M-7A1R or SA M-7R.
The only other time you'll see an "S" on Arsenal weapons, is when the variant is an underfolder.

There is a small chance this isn't the case. They could have had a receiver marked "S" as the ban expired and made a genuine factory no-ban gun.
I have seen many, many variations that are "unofficial": no-ban Carbines with the same skinny bolts as the ban-style SLR101's, SA M7's with the shark gill muzzle brake AND the SA M7 Classic wood furniture, and a couple of other variations IIRC. (Atlantic Firearms had a picture of the SA M7 "Blondie" on their site for quite a while).
Your SA M7S just "might" be one of these oddballs.
You might be able to call Arsenal, give them the serial number, and ask if the rifle was made as a ban or no-ban style. The date on the owner's manual may tell you too: if it's before the ban expired, then the gun has been "unbanned."
Sounds like a SA M7 A1R built on a left over (read that "already engraved with model number") receiver.Spooky130 said:From the pictures I think it may be an oddball gun. It has a 74 style FSB and the M60 style flash hider. It appears that the bayonet lugs are still there as well. I'll post some pics when it does arrive. Bought it through Gunbroker and it is claimed as NIB.

That's what I was thinking... I'll check the trigger like ZZ suggested. And I doubt the receiver is made in the USA...Templar said:Stock set (3)Spooky130 said:I did not get a manual with this one. Can someone tell me the 922(r) compliance parts? All the furniture is US made.
