KAC EMC/EMR

[Shane45]

Maybe my search fu is weak but I cant find any details on the difference between the two. Obviously the stock is different and the barrel length. Other than that? Is the R a chrome lined barrel like the C? What else?

Regards,

EMRs barrel is not dimpled and has no flash hider.

That and keep in mind you can't put a M110 flash hider on the EMR just in case you get any intentions of making a M110 clone.



Not sure on the CL part.



I don't think the EMR has the enlarged ejection port the EMC has but KAC likes to change things around within model numbers.

The real motivation is that here in Jersey, it seems like it would be easier to make an EMR into a jersy legal emc than an EMC into a Jersyized EMC. With the EMR I could cut the barrel down and thread it to fit a Surefire, pin it and be done. But if the barrel is chrome lined, that would be a plan killer. But if there is other Mojo in the EMC I'm not aware of, then a better plan may need to be devised

I would never hack up an EMR to shorten it to EMC length.

Well.... Im not a fan of 20" barrels. So it would be getting lopped off either way. I have an MWS 16" and a SCAR17 16". I just dont see the need to carry the extra weight for no real advantage. But thats an entirely different thread topic I was actually thinking 18 + brake.

[Belmont31R]

I think it would be easy to screw up. You can't just take 4" off a barrel, and expect it to run right. You'd be lucky to get the gun running reliably in my opinion...especially since its running a rifle gas system. You'd want to try to find out the EMC gas port size at very least.

[Shane45]

I better put my hacksaw away then I understand the gas system issue although I think from 20 to 18 wouldnt even need any port adjustment.

You might call/e-mail KevinB and see if they'll make you an EMC with a fixed stock.

The more I look into this the more options that seem to turn up. It probably would be just as easy to rethread the EMC barrel to standard threads and just pop a battlecomp on there. The stock is easy to pin, not worried there. Its getting the barrel compliant thats a bit tricky here. Still would like to hear about any big differences between the two
