Buying a KAC Rifle... Would love feedback and thoughts!

[JG007]

Looks like the 16" Mod 2 is what everyone here says to get Time to hunt one down at a reasonable price.

Thanks guys!

Side note: Can you guys give me a serious thought on how a Mod2 would stack up to a BCM Jack?

bcm jack is just a bcm with slightly upgraded trigger and badass geiselle mk1 rail

no upgraded bolt, intermediate gas, ambi lower, two stage trigger if I recall

to make a super jack you would want an lmt enhanced bcg, A5 buffer, and G trigger

I purchased my first KAC this year after saving for a while to get it. It is a very well engineered machine, and is an absolutely amazing rifle to shoot. There is not a better AR style rifle out there today, and you will not be disappointed.

I have a Jack and I have rifles that when you look at the components are basically Jack carbines.
That's the key difference; you can make a Jack yourself. You can't make a KAC Mod2 yourself.

Technically you could assemble your own SR15, sourcing all the correct individual parts needed to do it correctly is the challenge.

You'll get more likes if you #hashtag KAC SR15.

It's a proven fact.

Along these lines, I have a KAC stripped lower and have been planning to build it with the A5, SSA, Sionics LPK. Would you guys recommend building the lower as planned and picking up a 16" Mod 2 upper or buying a complete rifle? Thanks

BCM makes a high quality gun. It will run more ammo than you can afford. The KAC has a longer gas Sytem, smoother impulse. It has a great trigger, full ambi....the KAC has many features the Jack does not. Doesn't make the Jack bad, but for what you get the KAC is very fairly priced IMHO.

I have a Mod2 on order. The more I think about it the less I like the gas system. My unfounded concerns are that the hex nut holding the gas tube in can work loose and i can't remove the rail myself to service it. Well I could with the addition of a bunch of proprietary tools.
The feeling of not being able to wrench my own stuff annoys me a bit.

Was this not a concern when you ordered it? If you haven't been invoiced I'd just cancel.

Call Knights up and ask how many gas tube screws have come loose. If it has happened, I bet they've heard about it. If it had happened, it'd most likely be known by at least one of the guys posting in this, or other KAC-related threads, but call them anyway.
