The SAUM rifle wears a twenty inch stainless fluted barrel with a one-in-ten inch twist, and is especially useful for firing long, heavy thirty caliber bullets at long range. The Remington Match ammo tested fired a 190 grain bullet at 2741 feet-per-second (fps) from the twenty inch barrel, measured at ten feet from the muzzle. This is a significant advantage over the .308 Winchester (7.62 NATO) cartridge fired from the AP-4, which launched a 168 grain bullet at 2475 fps from its shorter tube. The disadvantage is that the .300 SAUM carbine weighs almost two pounds more, and its magazine holds only four cartridges instead of twenty. However, it does pack a heavier punch, and has a flatter long-range trajectory. The upper receiver of the SAUM is of the “slick side” type, with no case deflector or forward assist.
