There was a recent drop of MP5 RAS but it sold through quickly. My impression was that there weren't too many available. Was this the full extent of the backorder, or are there more on the way?

Having bought one and inquiring about more, I was told that are using up all components in stock to put these together. Idk if that means this is last of them or this is just the last batch until new parts are made

Supposedly this is the last batch and they are done.

What I'm wondering is: has this batch been sold though already, or is there more that hasn't reached the retailers?

AFAIK only three of the retailers have received their allotment. There are others who will still get theirs so there is still time.

I spoke to kac on Friday and asked if they were discontinued. They didn't say yes but they make them when they have extra material left over from other orders. So no clue?

Funny how a few years ago they said once a year they would make the old KAC RAS/RIS products for limited release. They must have serious manufacturing issues. I own a MP5 RAS, and purchased it in 2020 (me think) right when the SP5 came out. It is my favorite MP5 handguard that I have tried, all because of how it can mount a red dot.

KAC is shooting themselves in the feet. I don’t understand it. They can price to make a good profit even if they are low run items. I guess if the particular tooling they used for these handguards are either worn out or no longer exists, I can’t think of a reason they can’t make batches of them, unless they have to use every tool and personnel available to only make new stuff for contracts.

In all fairness they have been pumping out lowers and guns to dealers pretty consistently for the better part of a year
