Stripped Lowers Coming Soon!!

https://www.knightarmco.com/portfolio/stripped-lower/?cate_cm=military&term=miscellaneous-military&features=stripped-lower

Knight’s “Stoner Rifle” (https://www.knightarmco.com/portfolio/stripped-lower/?cate_cm=military&term=miscellaneous-military&features=stripped-lower) marked traditional TDP style stripped lower receivers. 7075 aluminum alloy with a Type III, Class 2 anodized surface treatment. All pin hole sizes are traditional “Mil-Spec”, TDP
compliant dimensions. This is a unique opportunity to match KAC uppers with high-quality low-cost KAC lower receivers. Knight’s lower receiver parts and controls are available to complete the assembly.

I think their definition of low cost is probably a lot different than mine. I'm still going to need one.

I will be grabbing a few of these. I still have 2 of their uppers that have never been shot. And the price is relative. I've seen complete Knights lowers sell for more than most rifles. I'm certain they are not looking to compete with Anderson or Spikes.

19 January 2017, 06:29
Are they going to sell them on their site or will they be sold by a distributor? Anybody know where to get one of their stripped uppers to match?

I saw last night that the price was supposedly $150, according to a picture from the floor. That puts it in the category of something I don't need, but will probably try and grab since I have a SR-15 upper. Also, I read 3rd hand that Ayan has already put in an order for a batch of these, so I'd keep your eyes open there. I wouldn't be surprised if Op Parts gets some, as well.

Some folks blow their load on sculpted billet upper and lowers along with various unique rail designs. Others enjoy a roll mark from time to time. But I know you know this. While it doesn't actually solve anything, it will be nice to have my SR-15 have a matching lower now (eventually).

Stone
20 January 2017, 14:42
Most decent receivers are running around $120. Yeah its the name, and the company does make quality stuff. But if they stay on par for delivering their merchandise like UW said and from what I have seen online, in about 3 months they will be unobtanium. I kicked myself in the past for not buying a few lowers that I really wanted and sure enough not long after those companies stopped making them. The BAD forged receivers are running 190 as well, are they worth it? Maybe. Sometimes we get smoking hot deals and sometimes we overpay a little to get the parts we really want. For the most part over the last few years I have been able to wait until black Friday and the 30-40% off sales to pick up what I want. So the way I see it is I am still miles ahead.


Looks like both sites added an additional 25 receivers to their inventory.[pop]

Yeah I think it's a nice niche to fill for guys who wanted matching lowers for their SR-15 Uppers.

I already have 3 KAC factory rifles, so I'm not jumping on this as fast as I thought I would. I'll probably get 2 eventually, but I really have no need for $200 Lowers. I think this is good on KAC's part for a couple of reasons. First it gives hope that KAC will release more parts to the civilian market. Honestly never thought I'd see stripped lowers. Second the price point is higher, but not as outrageous as I thought i would be. I figured they'd ask $299.

Personally I'm glad they kept the ambi features off, it keeps the price cheaper and if they keep that model, you can easily tell what were factory built lowers vs, someone who put a DPMS Parts kit in it.

Yeah, UCWRG just puzzles me, but I am not a business man. If you have a sought after product, I would have just licensed it to a quality manufacturer and have them sell and distribute them. When I check their social media, I always see a lot of angry people asking for ETA's that come and go.

It was to be expected like you said. A sought after item will always be marked up when it first hits the market because of demand. I'm just happy they released them so quickly vs. 6 months later, they give you another 3 month ETA

The X factor is their definition of "limited". If it's 250, then the premium is somewhat justified. If it's 750 - 1000, maybe it isn't. Whatever it is, I'm going to wait a little longer. I've been a KAC fan for a long time, but there are too many good options available these days for me to justify paying too much more than the suggested retail. But that's just me and others will happily pay more.

Pretty much how I feel about this. At first I really wanted a couple, but I already have 3 SR-15's, so I'll either miss out or wait till they are $150. Like you said too many other great options on the market right now.

From F2S on M4C:

---

The $150 was a special SHOT deal that has now ended. That was the lowest price that they will ever be seen. These have been returned to Dealer only availability, and their pricing is confidential.

These are indeed a limited run, with no expectation of permanency in the line. I don't think that it would ever become a staple, but "never say never" and all that. The intent of these was to get a bunch of SR-15s into the hands of KAC appreciators that might not have the immediate funds available for full guns, or even our upper or lower packages; or to that KAC fan that just needs another great roll-mark.

It was noticed that the old pivot pin and takedown pin counterbore are present. This feature is only present on the first run, and has been removed for following runs.

At some point, we may release the total numbers made, but it won't be a whole lot.

Meh, then I will be forced to find an E3 Bolt, Carrier, and barrel extension. I might as well get an factory upper at that point. [:D]

25 January 2017, 17:34
Sure, that would be awesome. Us po folk gotta do the piece at-a-time thing. Plus, it's just more runner rolling your own. Factory built is nice and all, but I'll take my Saturday rifles over pretty much any factory-built Friday (or God forbid, Monday) rifles.

That said, I'm sure it'll never happen, but a man can dream, plus it would easily fill the void the SASS contract is going to leave...

I mean I just paid a relative crapload for a forged lower, nothing special. Their niche isn't going to bring the PSA is as good as the *fill the top tier maker of choice*-crowd running.

So yet another employee of KAC is saying that these are crazy rare and should be bought immediately, since the numbers are limited...until they aren't. Shocking that the company wants the buyers to buy them now rather than wait.

I generally like KAC, and I have several KAC rifles and have even ordered this lower, so this isn't sour grapes, but seriously, it's not a huge surprise that KAC capitalizes on it's limited civilian production runs, even if it hides behind "production is limited because we have .gov contracts."

That quote from Jack almost sounded like the lowers with the countersunk takedown holes were the "shot show special price" and regular lowers would be available next at a higher price. In other words, selling off the "seconds" at a discount in order to clear out otherwise useless inventory.

At the cost of their separate lowers and uppers, you're better off buying a complete gun and selling whichever half you don't want.

I bought 2 of my SR-15s used. 0 rounds fired through both, and bought them for $1500 and $1600 respectively for the entire gun. I know KAC sells uppers brand new for that. During the post Sandy Hook market crash, I saw someone selling a used SR15 for $1200.... still kicking myself for not picking that up.

I'm hoping the pending glut will present similar deals. For now, I'll slowly build up this lower. Maybe if 41F gets fixed, I'll form 1 it and find an 11.5".

One more update from KAC. You can catch the updates in M4C if interested.

The countersunk pivot pin holes on the left side were designed years ago to ease pressing out the take down pins. Future models won't have it but will bring the non-ambi lowers into same specs as their ambi, which lacks the countersunk holes.

These shot show receivers are brand new and not seconds nor old stock.

Small Arms is Operation Parts, which is a well-known KAC dealer. I've dealt with them in the past on parts and they were fine. I also had them wrench a rail for me since I don't own a SR-25 wrench and the process was slow, but as advertised. I wouldn't sweat working with them.

Since I'm in FL, Small Arms was cheaper for me than with Ayan, so I'm in the holding pattern to hear from them, like you.

Looks like they run a live feed on inventory.

If your KAC lower has finishing issues you'd like remedied, you can contact them at returnsandrepairs@knightarmco.com.

Contrary to what we were told, some of the lowers with the "8" serial number were old stock that did not undergo their current QC protocols. Mine has serious pits. I didn't inspect it till I heard about the possibility yesterday and opened it up. I've contacted KAC and am waiting for a reply.

KAC is willing to replace my lower. Last night I oiled it up and took a scotch pad to it. The dents, nicks through anodizing, and the irregular finishing on the front magwell are more obvious. I'll throw some parts in it to see if it's in spec. If so, I'll keep it as a respectable beater as I don't know if another with better finishing will be available.

The thread on M4C about this escalated into a rounding chorus of self-importance masquerading as maturity. Like some of you, I am nearly done there.

No, just finish issues. I've seen a few completed builds on FB already. No reports of spec issues at all. Only cosmetic. And that started to rear its head in the KAC industry forum on arfcom first. Funny thing is, mine is not in the "8" serial number range.

Stone
16 February 2017, 18:54
I've been reading through the posts with the finish issues and I am still confused as to what the problem is. I have 3 of the "8" lowers. The anodizing isn't the best and one of them has a small ding on the bottom of the magwell but beyond that I am not seeing anything else. Anything I should be looking for?

fledge
16 February 2017, 18:58
No other issue has been reported. The inset holes are intentional but for an older design. The new lowers won't have them. So they are unique in that. They've now reported this was old inventory and that current QC protocols are in place going forward.

I suspect the original QC standard for these was high on spec and low on finish. Enough to build rifles for the field.

fledge
16 February 2017, 19:01
Stone, mine is an "8". It has small nicks to bare metal, irregular machining on front of magwell and some pits along the mag button fence. I have PSA blem lowers that look better than this. But, hey, it's battleworn out of the box.

Stone
16 February 2017, 19:05
Thanks brother, I'm gonna pull mine out again and take another look at them. I'm the same way, a few minor dings are nothing compared to what I am going to do to it once its built. Did you get yours from SAS?

ETA: I just looked them over and found more gouge marks from what looks like the machining process. Looks like the bit got dragged across the magwell flare. Two out of three have these gouges. I sent them an email to see what they say. It would be nice if they could re-produce them with the same serial numbers since I already paid for the transfer and they are sequential.

Sequential numbers would be awesome. They should direct ship to you replacements without transfer since that falls under warranty.

I got mine from BoltCarrier.

Anyone ever order from NSDefense below? I just placed an order and noticed it's for "pre order." Shot them an email seeing when they thought they would have them in stock. Should have jumped on the initial batch from boltcarrier.

This will be my first dip into KAC products, i feel like this is the next stage of black rifle disease.

Been following the multiple threads on this issue. While not a huge deal, the blemishes were unexpected coming from KAC. The service dept is taking care of me, as I sent the lower back today.

If I knew I was going to build out the lower and not sell it down the road, it would have been easy to get over the blemishes. However, I already have more lowers than uppers, so I too advantage of their service dept.

This situation in no way effects my perceptions of KAC.

After a few emails it looks like the only option they will offer me is to fix the damaged lowers. My guess is a bondo job. And to add insult to injury they want me to pay for shipping it back to them! I told her to forward the situation to the owner. Waiting for a response. In total I paid $430.00 for just the two lowers which includes shipping and the transfer fee. Now I have to run out and buy a box and more shipping tape, package it up and then pay for shipping it as well? WTF? Its not even the $30 its gonna cost me for the whole debacle its the principal of the matter. Its their frack up with no fault of my own. Every other rifle manufacturer I have dealt with sends you a postage paid RMA, hell, even Amazon sends out one when its their fault.

Dear Mr. Stone, [:D]



"I have done some more research, as you requested. I was wrong, the lowers are not fixed, they are replaced. So we would not be able to replace them with the sequential serial numbers as you are wanting. So sorry about that.

As for shipping to us, they will not pick up the cost, but said you can ship them in a USPS flat rate box for much cheaper.

Let us know how you want to proceed."

They should cover shipping back to you and send the replacements directly to you to avoid more transfer fees.

I asked if they would send the new ones with new serial numbers directly to me and she said yes. That didn't sound right so I just called my FFL and he said that's illegal. I just sent them another email telling her that and asked if they are going to cover the $30 transfer fee.[bash]

"How would a licensee record the disposition of a replacement firearm in the licensee’s records?


A licensee who receives a firearm for repair or customizing, and who returns a replacement firearm, must record the disposition in the licensee’s acquisition and disposition record. However, no ATF Form 4473 is required if the replacement firearm is returned to the same person from whom the licensee received the firearm being replaced.

They are not a company heavily concerned with aesthetics. If you are worried about the finish you should have never bought a Knights.

Considering...

1) KAC admitted that this was substandard for them...

2) KAC admitted their updated QC standards are better and have been for sometime...

3) KAC admitted hat they accidentally misdescribed the original batch as "new" but confirmed they are from years past...

4) KAC is sending out non-blem lowers now...

...all tells me you should let them know they are too concerned about their own aesthetics.

Those with blems subpar for KAC's standards should receive customer support and replacements. I don't understand why KAC has no problem with this but interwebs are filled with criticism for KAC and it's customers who recognizes the need to rectify this mistake.

No, looks like a Colt M4A1 Carbine is the closest a civilian can get. Those were only offered on the LE6920 SOCOM and go for $700+ now. I'm not going that crazy to get clone correct.

I'm putting a $80 2nd gen B5 Sopmod on it vs a 1st gen LMT for $150+. Also upper is a CMMG 22lr for training and trigger time. Another example is the Surefire 4 prong on a Block 2 goes for $300+ as it was never commercially released, 3 prong can be found under $100 and gets close enough. Some clone prices are insane. I understand some people's desire to get as accurate as possible, but for me I'd rather build what I like and be close than spend a fortune and be exact.

So maybe clone isn't accurate, more of a inspired by kind of build.

One thing to do is clean the lower when you get it. I slathered that one in Hoppes #9 followed by A light oil. These things come in dryer than hell, they just soak up the first few coats of oil like a sponge.

In the end just accept that this isn't a showpiece lower for a showpiece gun. I have my SMOS build for a showey gun, this lower will be for a 22lr upper for appleseed and a Colt upper for carbine class. I look forward to wearing it in and getting some good use out of it.

I don't remember seeing one, but never say never. In the end, I'm just a guy on the internet who had fun reading...and foolishly never asked to look at the TACLET guys' CQBRs (or MK18s...or whatever they were). Supposedly there are KAC contracted guns out there for other agencies, but I'm not very well-read on Knight's stuff.

Short of a third pin, the M4A1 Carbine lower seems to be the most "accepted," followed by the M4 Carbine lower. Arms Unlimited had been selling some 6920 complete lowers for $400 in the past, which was a decent deal, but an OEM 1 or 2 rifle is probably better value.

At the end of the day, a RIS II on a KAC lower would still look pretty sexy.

Totally agree, the major parts of the build are where the money should go. The roll mark is interchangeable in my eyes.

Even that isn't the highly sought after "M4A1" roll mark. You can still buy LE6920s that are marked M4 Carbine. The most accurate however is the M4A1 marked LE6920 that was only offered by Colt on the Socom rifle that is no longer in production. There are a few listed on another forum for $750 for a complete lower, one asking $900 right now. A complete used M4 Carbine lower is roughly $350 for a complete one. So you are paying a $400 premium for the "A1" Mark on the lower to get clone correct.

That's where I draw the line haha. I agree with the above, Colt socom barrel, bolt, and upper, Sopmod stock, and KAC ris/ras or DD ris are the major correct parts, finish with a milspec lower kit and A2 grip and call it good.

I need to just pick up a couple of Colt OEM1's so I can use this FSB RIS II from SINNER and cut the barrel down to 14.5. The other I would just cut down to 10.3, then I wouldn't feel the need to get a 6933.

Kinda wish Radian would announce 7.62 receiver sets; I'm getting full-up on 5.56 ones.

Umbrella... LOL. Still have 3 Lowers I never built up. One of these days I suppose!

Yeah, like I said before, I don't understand their sales strategy.

Might finally dump one of those Billet UCWRG Lowers when the market is a little better. Too brutal right now.

Looks like my KAC "8" series will be back from repair on the 13th.

On another note, I remember creating a Facebook account for the chance to win an opportunity to purchase a forged UCWRG lower years ago. I bought 2. There around here somewhere.

One or both of these will be future SBR's.

Thanks to small arms sales for sending consecutive serial numbers.

Good to hear. The 3 I got appeared to be in good shape. Ended up giving one to Stick.

Waiting on the last few Colt LPK parts (a few pins and a mag catch) from Brownell's so that I can build up mine. Given they continue to use UPS Mail Innovations, the parts should be here some time in 2018.

Grant at G&R Tactical regularly stocks LPKs, but they go quickly. I picked one up from him last week, as I was on his email list.

His were out of stock, as is most of the product he sells. Brownell's had everything I needed (which was less than a complete kit). I'm just bitching about UPS Mail Innovations. Supposedly everything will be here tomorrow...if it doesn't keep bouncing back and forth between Orlando.

Would love to, but probably a BAD-ASS because I don't have to pay retail.

Operation Parts is the major seller now. Brownell's carries some of them, depending on stock. You'll also be able to find some bits and pieces at other vendors. Trading Place Pawn (http://tradingplacepawn.com/shop-online/by-brand/knights-armament.html) will often have stuff, but their stock is hit and miss.

No that’s the UBR gen 2 kit ($160), if that’s what you mean. I found the URX handguard on serious discount too. Overall a cheaper build with quality parts. Gotta love the Post-Hillary market.

It’s always about that price at Lanbos for the UBR. AAC ran the sale on the handguard.

I'm kind of thinking a hybrid Colt and Knight build.

KAC lower, KAC forend and accessories. Colt upper and barrel. Or maybe the same idea with a mix of KAC and BCM.

Now you need the "real" selector. This rifle might beat the first few runs of SCARS for unintentional variation of color in a single build. [:D]
