Knight's Armament stripped lowers coming soon

[JoshNC]

If that snap on comes with the slide lock it just made my year a little bit more expensive along with these lowers.

Uh, yeah. Same.

Isn't the entire draw of the KAC lower the fact that it's ambi?

But dat roll mark doh

[sinlessorrow]

Ah, interesting. I didn't know that. What I do know is the selectors on our SR16s at work are crisper than any other brand I've run and I love it.

Does that hold true for their ambi lowers as well?

No, but this is $150 for a mil spec lower.....Anderson makes mil spec lowers for $49.99.

No, but this is $150 for a mil spec lower.....Anderson makes mil spec lowers for $49.99.

Mil spec lowers with questionable quality control. And that results in things being out of spec. Ergo, not mil spec.

[fledge]

Why would anyone pay $150 for a stripper AR lower?

A lower is a lower, as most forgings only come from 2-3 factories.

I don't think the "Stoner Rifle" marking is worth an extra $100 imo.

Big difference between a forging and a finished lower. Material is one thing. Machining to a manufacturers spec and finish is another.

Really? Look I like KAC, but paying $150 for a stripped lower is dumb.

It doesn't matter how you spin it, it's Colt level dumb....Who's lowers also commend a premium.

Damn!!! Just when I got it narrowed down to either a Battle Arms Development, Noveske, or Sionics for my next lower, along comes KAC. What's a man going to do?

[scottryan]

There are going to be SO many people peddling "Knight's Armament rifles" for $2k on Gunbroker, made from these lowers and all the rest Anderson Mfg. parts.

Yeap.

Considering their non LE priced complete ambi lowers are what 850$? 150 isn't outrageous given their relative pricing structure.

Honestly it's not a bad idea as it expands their brand availability to those who would otherwise not be willing to pony up the cash for a complete SR. Folks will still run PSA or delton uppers on them but that's not the point I'm trying to make.
