Are we all just waiting for the KS-1 to drop?
Side note, I've seen a handful of newer SR-15's with Mod 2 uppers that already have the cutout for the URX 6 rail tab, so I don't see why we haven't seen URX 6 rails on SR-15 uppers yet.

If you guys had to choose one rifle between these two, and why would you keep one over the other? I have two AR's and need to part with one for financial reasons. Im more of a shooter than a collector.
1. 16" Radian Model 1 2. KAC 11.5 SR15 Mod 2 MLOK Pistol w/ SBA3 I've shot the Radian. Less than 1000 rounds, but barely used it. I've had some bites on the KAC. It's brand new but man I love it. Never shot the damn thing, ironically. Ammo just got too expensive with motorcycles as my other hobby. So, I'm just wanting one rifle to stay proficient with. I'm no longer serving on active duty. I'm just a glorified desk jockey/ software engineer now after my infantry time in the army. So gents, I know this sub thread is biased, but which one should I keep and why? |

I personally would keep the 11.5 because of the ability to suppress it and keep it manageable in OAL. It is still plenty capable to distances where ringing steel is fun. Plus with all the QDC PRG cans on the market now, and how quickly EForm4s are going, it's worth staying in the KAC fold. |

Yea, once I ran across the QDC PRT style cans from KAC I was shocked. Very impressed from the Youtube videos I've seen. Are you advocating to use the 7.62 PRG can over a MCQ or CRS? Since Form 4 times are so quick, I was going to get a dedicated 5.56 can. |

With KAC 762 cans, that would require a muzzle device change on your 11.5 CQB. I don't think that's a bad route to take, as you could begin outfitting larger caliber rifles with 5/8-24 mounts at your convenience. But, if you have nothing larger to suppress, I think a 5.56 silencer would be o.k. |

It seems to be more about flash and flow through tech instead of pure sound suppression. From what I understand both cans still bring the cans to quieter levels. Don't know if they're hearing safe or not? |

If you're like me and played guitars for 27 years and worked construction for a decade, hearing safe is different than someone who has not abused their eardrums  If you're outside, it's a little easier to send one than it is while inside 4 walls. |

Don't know if they're hearing safe or not? No 5.56 can will ever be hearing safe, unless you find some subsonic rounds somewhere. Both the MCQ and CRS will be fine overall cans for 5.56, what is 'best' will depend on your priorities. For an understanding of scale, a 10dB increase in volume is 10 times louder due to the logarithmic nature of dB. 140 dB is the threshold for instantaneous hearing damage, but long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 80 dB can cause hearing loss. Closing the action on an AR is in the 120 dB range. Most 5.56 cans are in the high 130's to mid 140db range. Personally I would not buy a 5.56 can with any expectation of "quiet". Expecting "quieter" vs unsuppressed is more realistic. |

Expecting "quieter" vs unsuppressed is more realistic. Yea, as a conventional Army dude I wasn't issued suppressors. So, this is still new to me with my first can. Never used em overseas either. I'd like sound reduction to a decent level but I'd rather prioritize a few things over that: 1. Flash Suppression 2. Not having gas in my face 3. Portability since it would go on an 11.5 for HD/ Range sessions 4. Concussive blast indoors being mitigated/ reduced significantly if I actually ever had to use this thing at 2am. 5. Suppression would be nice, but my expectations probably needs to shift. I know KAC and SF cans are just not meant for pure DB reduction. I noticed the OAL for an 11.5 for the MCQ PRT would be 15-16 inches and then a CRS would be 17-18. I didn't realize how quick the OAL adds up and thought the CRS would be at the 16 inch carbine size. Seems like MCQ would be the way to go for my application? |

I find the 11.5 with full size can is handy enough. Based on the priorities you listed, the MCQ on 11.5 would be very handy, and work fine |

Heya guys I have a Back Up Iron Sight (BUIS) question?
I am trying to collect all the models of the BUIS from Knights. I am also wondering what the time frame for the date of issue (DOI) is on these? 1) I currently have the flip up post SOPMOD model with and without windage graduations on the base: I am guessing mid-1990's? 2) I have the range adjustable Flip-Up BUIS with the big base like the SOPMOD variant: Not really sure what the DOI is. 3) I also have the Micro-BUIS and not sure of of the DOI is on these. I am curious to hear if there are older models: I have heard of one that may have a windage knob from the M-16/M16A1 instead of the M16A2 style one on the SOPMOD variant? Any help and dates of issue/manufacture would be appreciated. |

Yes, that looks exactly like what I have heard of and there are a few different variants to boot! Any ideas on when they were introduced and then were stopped being made?
Thank you for that it gives me something to look for now. I would imagine they would be difficult to source? |

Based on memory working for KAC at roughly the time in question: The original “big knob” 300m BUIS was the issued SOPMOD kit sight, and were fitted to SR-15 / SR-16 carbines and rifles; “big knob” 200-600m sights were fitted to Mk11s being built / shipped. The A1-dial type 300m BUIS iron sights were phased out by then, and the now-common Micro sights didn’t yet exist. Hope this helps… |
