I have been lurking and doing alot of reading here over the the last two months. I must say this is a great forum with alot of great guys.
and to think I almost bought a RRA. Good thing I found this place.
I have decided to get a black gun, but I am not sure where to purchase it. I am in the DFW area(just moved back here from Florida) and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a KAC SR 15 ???
I have made a few calls and went to the gun show, but no dice. the gun show is not what it used to be.
If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. I am trying to buy locally before going to the net. Also, I do realize this is a high end item that not many will carry.
Just order one from Casey at Lawman’s and Shooters in Florida. They’re KAC’s storefront and it’ll save you the tax. I’m not familiar with DFW area and I’m not sure who would carry it though I my local shop has ordered a few, so I’d imagine it would be the same there, but you’ll pay a premium plus tax.
Stickman, I want to say…your pics are the best !!!
I can’t tell you how many hours I have spent looking at your photo’s.
I guess I will give Casey a shout. I am going to assume their price will be $1900.00 or so, is this what I should be looking to pay ?
I am a southpaw and I usually mod anything I have. The kac just seems like all it needs is a 3t brake. I do wish I could shoot someones, but I know that would be hard to do since it would be like test driving a Porsche. There is a point of no return after doing either.
If the gun turns out to be anything like my wilson, I will be in love all over again hehe.:sarcastic:
The SR doesn’t even need a 3T brake. To be honest, the Battlecomp is especially well-suited to this rifle – and a fraction of the Triple Tap’s cost. Take it from a fellow southpaw, SR-owner, and longtime Wilson 1911 owner (and WC board Mod at 1911Forum), this rifle will not disappoint.
Both of mine had an A5 and a Triple Tap. I sold one upper and both Triple Taps and went to a flash hider and it’s still extremely smooth. I don’t think it needs any type of brake, but I think the Triple Tap is only necessary if running a NT4 can. T buy a T3 now is almost just to say you have one since it’s $330 more and does nothing really better (besides mount the KAC can) than the BattleComp. I have two of those as well it’s there’s almost no noticeable difference, and definitely not a $330 difference. ETA - I’m not implying that people without KAC cans are buying them for show…
If you want to run a KAC suppressor, then don’t waste the money on either the heavy Nt4 or T3 and wait for the $500 MAMS and their new 16oz can that’s more in lime with the Surefire and AAC cans.
Just my 2 cents after owning everything in question but the MAMS.
Hope the OP doesn’t mind me posting in here, but I need some opinions on a sell/buy.
Would you guys sell a like-new HK P7M8 9mm pistol to buy an
SR15 E3 upper? I have an E3 lower already and I’m fighting the
urge to sell the HK to buy an upper. I never shoot the HK and I
think I’d really much rather have the SR15. The lower has a MK
12 upper on it right now, but I can build another lower for it.
ok, let me ask you this. Since I am a southpaw and do tend to mod out all of my weapons, is this purchase worth more than geting a DD or noveske or BC ?
I have not shot an AR in many years( used to own a bushy) so there is no muscle memory and it seemed a lot simpler to go this route. I see from here most love thier KAC over others.
Let me state that my reasons for this purchase over the other top tier rifles.
full ambi controls
already got the mods most put on
quality
The only downfall is price, this is, only until you add up what modding would cost you over the others. I think I have read every post on the SR, both the pro’s and con’s. This one point is demystified and actually a boone on the purchase imho.
Whats actually funny is…what am I going to do for mods to make it mine ??? It seems so good right out of the box. My Wilson is as close as I have ever come to perfection, I only changed the slide release and safety to accomodate me being a southpaw. When I handle the weapon it just feels so right.
This is what appears to come from owners of the SR.
P.S.
If Stickman:dirol: is still around, I would be honored if he would post some of his pics in this thread.
NO WAY. When was the last shipment of P7M8s made? That’s right. I wouldn’t be getting rid of that, unless it was for something else hard to get. KAC is churning out plenty of guns (by the way, it shows). I would just save some ducats, and get what you want later.
This hits the nail on the head. The gun is 100% ready to go out of the box. You can make tweaks to make it yours, but for the most part its read to go out of the box. I also shoot rifle lefty, the ambi is very nice to have.
I ordered my kac at lawmans last week. Seems shipping is taking more than a week to get here.
I just got back from the sand dunes and will call Monday to see if she is there. I can only hope. Also been watching the magpul carbine class DVD. Wow those are good.
Conceptually they are very good; the challenge is to translate the knowledge from the head to the hands, and that can be surprisingly complex, since it’s one of those recognition and repetition things.
If there is a VSM instructor in your AO, I would encourage you to take a class and prepare to really have your eyes opened. Great, great stuff.
