| Why is it that the URX II can only be installed by a KAC dealer? I know it takes proprietary tools, but why would I want something on my gun that I can't put on and take off myself? |

THE URX WAS NOT DESIGNED WITH THE INDIVIDUAL BUILDER IN MIND, BUT, NEITHER WERE ANY OF THE OTHER FOREND SYSTEMS OUT THERE. KAC DEALERS ARE BY NO MEANS THE ONLY FOLKS WHO CAN DO THE INSTALLATION. THEY WERE JUST THE FIRST TO GET THE PROPRIETARY TOOLS NEEDED TO DO SO. I HAD A URX BARREL NUT WRENCH FOR FOUR YEARS BEFORE I COULD GET A REGULAR SUPPLY OF URX FORENDS! YOU COULD CERTAINLY BUY THE 5.56MM OR 7.62MM URX TOOLS AND DO IT YOURSELF, IF YOU WERE SO INCLINED. WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ORDER IN A SET FOR YOU. THE URX BARREL NUT WRENCH IS RATHER EXPENSIVE, HOWEVER, $295, COMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL BARREL WRENCH. SO IS THEIR VISE JAW ALIGNMENT TOOL, $295, BUT ADMITTEDLY THERE ARE OTHER LESS EXPENSIVE WAYS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, JUST NOT IN THE TYPICAL MERCEDES BENZ-LIKE KNIGHT'S ARMAMENT FASHION.
