I bought my first AR15 in 2007 when prices were like candy stories from old people, "I paid $250-$350 for my bushy, olympic, dpms, etc". She was a cmmg upper with a double star lower. Ran like a champ. Over the years, my collection of guns grow. In 2010, I decided to buy a top tier ar15. Something that had all the bells and whistles. Something like a colt 6940, noveske, lwrc, lmt, Daniels. Something that held their value, extremely tacticool but functional.
Like many a people think that kac is way over priced and extremely over rated but I decided to research them regardless. KAC was the first to have attachable light, the first to have forward grip, and what impressed me the MOST is that they were the last company Eugene Stoner work at. He designed the ar15 platform and wanted to tweek and fine tune the system. The more reviews I read, the more I wanted one. I did not know of anyone that had one so. I had to fork over some major coin to buy one and THEN see if i liked it or not. I gotten the upper on a trade. I mated to my ruger sr556 lower......LOVE at first shot. The recoil was very soft. I only shot carbine length gas systems and the ruger mid length piston system. It was very odd that this upper was sooo light.
Me being the person that I am wanted my Knights to a Knights lower. To my surprise there was one at Bullseye in Laweranceville for $750+tax. I sold some things and put the lower on layaway. 2 months later I had a matching complete kac sr15.
I thought that the cost of the sr15 and the value of all the options was fair. A complete sr15 retail is $2000-$2300 new. In the price is
-full length rail with integrated front sight
-an extra medium gas system (shorter than rifle, longer than medium)
-a redesigned bolt
-2 stage trigger
-a completely ambi controls lower
-lmt sopmod stock
-buis
-quick disconnect sling mounts
-cold hammer 16" bbl
-forward grip
I can shoot 1.5"-2" moa group in the prone. But she is more accurate than me. The 2 stage trigger is a first for me, but i got used to it very quickly (it might be the reason my groups are so well with it). The controls are very handy when ever i go shooting wit my buddy that is a south paw. He seem to like it too. Soft recoil. The softest ar I have ever shot. It is even softer with my AAC Brake-out brake.
The only grip is that this $2k gun came with a regular gi grip. I switched mine out with a magpul one. Other than that, it is my favorite rig!
