You can get them here with a non collapsing stock, but with all the people in the states buying firearms like crazy right now I wouldn't expet any orders to be filled any time soon. I have heard that Epps is expecting some from DPMS but they keep getting there ETA moved back.
Are you asking about an AR10 or a M110 SASS?
M110 SASS (Wikipedia, I know. KAC site is down):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M110_Semi-Automatic_Sniper_System
All the production for the "SASS" is going straight to the American forces and I don't know that any have made it to the civilian market and none should be up here in Canada. KevinB will probably be along at some point and give the actual scoop, since he works for KAC.
AR10s are around. I have one with a Noveske Upper:
I love this rifle BTW. LOVE it. Not cheap, but it makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

That is why it is actually an Armalite Super SASS 
I am pretty sure you could write down on one page more info about KAC/Stoner/AR10 than I could find on the 'net' in an hour.(without getting paid)
Is there a link you could provide that describes the results of those tests. It is easy to find the glowing recommendations of the KAC submission, but what about the others??
What did they actually do wrong or not good enough?
