 Any sources out there for the Samson STAR-522 "SWAT" rails for less than Brownells?

Apparently Samson has set up an exclusive with Brownells to sell their "SWAT" rails as I can not find them anywhere else cheaper, not even eBay or Samson...

Thanks!

I once asked that question and the answer is no, unless you know of someone who has an account set up with Brownell's and can get the rail at a discount. I do love my Star522 rail! It gives the rifle a great feel.

Thanks for the reply!!

So you do like the Samson rail, eh? Any sense for how it stacks up against the factory SIG-marked rail? Better, worse, same? Thanks!

Does Brownells offer us at AR15.com any discounts - like Atlantic Arms does?

Thanks!

NO, but they do offer a discount to "dealers", i.e. anyone with an FFL, lncluding a C&R FFL can get their discount.

They also give a "discount" to Gun Clubs, hunting clubs etc.
Just pay attention when you set your acct up and check the correct box.
