| I see you can get blemished KAC RAS for $150. They normally list for around $350 if I'm not mistaken. I know KAC has a good reputation on this forum and the military uses them. Is the blemished rail a better deal than say an unblemished Troy or MI for $140? |

I bought one of the blems from them last week. The only thing wrong with it was the "L" markings were etched on the right side rail, and the "R" marks were on the left side rail. I'm pretty sure I'll survive. What all was included? The new (blem) RAS with three new 11 rib panels. Came in a new box and plastic bag just like other KAC stuff. |
| KAC makes quality stuff, however the price is very inflated. Whenever the military, better yet special forces, adopts a piece of gear the demand rises. Supply usually goes down due to the military contract. High demand, low supply = high price. Take the KAC VFG for example, $30-50 (since the last time i checked) for a new knights VFG, besides the logo, no different than the off brand $15 VFGs. If your concerned with name brand or military authenticity, buy the KAC, but my MI rail has all the function of a KAC rail at 40% of the price. |

I own 7 KAC rails and while expensive they are much nicer in every way than my MI which is not junk. I also have 3 DD, 2 Troy and a Samson. KAC is by far the best. Are they worth the extra money? To me they are. |

I like the idea of the heat shields KAC rails have. To me it seems the correct thing to have is heat shields. I'm no expert, but I don't think anyone else bothers to include them into their design. I've noticed that too. Only other rail for sure I know has a heat shield is the Colt 6940. |

I'm suprised no one else that I know of does it. I kind of think it might be important safety issue. |
