I really like the KAC URX3 I handled at SHOT and a build based on the URX3 has been on my mind since then. I did not want

this is basically what i choose to build once the tax return arrived....

KAC URX 3 with Vltor/MSTN upper, Noveske hammer forged barrel and a Surefire muzzle brake to round off the package.

It will have a KAC 600m micro sight, Premier Reticle 1-8x(when I can get it) with an ADM scout mount. this will be used as my 3 gun rifle.

The URX3 is available on in rifle length with integrated top rail, a short 3. 6, and 9 o'clock rail. KAC panels are included.

The rail has the standard integrated flip up front sight and build in QD sling mounts.

the rail weights in at an amazing 13.6oz, that's including a heat shield.

I got it from MSTN, Wes charged me $311.00 for the rail and a 75.00 installation fee. all in all, not a bad deal on a tier one rail system with a build in flip up front sight.

sweet looking shooter.. glad to hear the URX3 is on the market!

Glad to hear that Wes is still around...was starting to wonder.

Looks great!  MSTN built my favorite upper, so I'm glad to hear they are still doing builds.

Nice stick. I really like that rail.

I dropped in last night  on Wes and he mentioned this new rail system.  I played with an identical setup with both a 17" and 18" barrels and the gun was extremely light.  The rail system feels really good in the hands with lots of room for my long arms. I did not put it on a scale but just holding this gun compared to my 10" it seems to have a significant lighter feel to the rifle. If Wes wasn't watching me I might have tried to swap rifles on the way out the door.  But I definitely see one on my short list in the future.

Well thought out system.....plus aesthetically pleasing....can't beat that!

Wes let me shoot one of these yesterday.  Simply amazing - I could not believe how light it was.  IIRC, it was a 17" upper.  Very good looking upper.

Thats a nice looking build man.

What ever happened to MSTN on here? I've got a few of his uppers and its been a while since I've been on this website, but I was shocked to see him not around.

He basically got tired of the double standard, dick measuring, GD mentallity that seems to be all over arfcom more than usual now. He's defnitely still around, and should have his site up soon. Real nice guy, and still carries some of the best parts in the business.

OP
Did you get your barrel from Wes?

Im looking for a  Noveske barrel but they are out of stock right now

Thanks for the info man.. Good to hear he's still around. The uppers I have from him are top notch builds.

My upper URXIII upper should arrive today. I had Gun Gallery put it together for me.

I'm in the process of building a rifle very similar to the OP,just using a stainless bbl.
