Is the lower proprietary or is it a standard AR-15 lower ?

I have the SFAR in 308, light rifle for the platform and pretty decent on accuracy. can't remember what this was shot at, it was over 100 yards i know. seems like 130 but i ain't sure. when i finally got the scope in it laid em right in there. I did take that dog knot off the end and put a suppressor muzzle device on.

Proprietary.

The lower is sort of a hybrid. AR-15-like behind the AR-10-type sized magazine well.

A quote from the author, one reason i never pay much attention to these gun reviewers.

"Up until this point I’ve owned only one AR, and it’s a gun I won in a drawing. I never had the urge to actually buy one."

I do like that Bipod on it in the picture, not the one in the video. wonder who makes it.

I miss this Rifle. I had one several years ago, but bankruptcy took it, sadly. I can't wait to get another.
