    Actually,
    $2200 isn't bad for what you get. The SR15E3 has quality FF rails, parts, barrel, a lower with unique (and awesome) features, SOPMOD stock, and for not too much more than a standard Colt 6920.

    As for the SR-25. If it were $3500, well, it'd be pushing it but (If I had it) I'd pay that. But $5000+. And $7500...riduculous. It better eject gold with every casing at that price.

    Part of its quality, the rest is do to KACs being so limited on the market

    Id be all over their E3 if I had the scratch!

    No. They typically cannot sell it to DEALER'S for below what they sell it to the GOVT. Dealers then have to make money on the item so that is what you get.

    KAC has been talking about releasing the SR25 Carbine (16" barrel) for $3-4K I believe.

    Hopefully we will see this weapon by the end of the year.

    Being a KAC whore myself, the E3 doesn't do it for me.

    The hammer forged barrel is nice, and the bolt has obvious advantages, but an unpinned gas block, the ambi controls are not ideally placed IMHO, I haven't broken too many bolts to justify getting a proprietary one

    Its a good bang for the buck, no doubt though.

    I've put a good number of rounds through a 16inch SR-25Br, it was cool at the time.

    If KAC were to make a SR-25Br with an E3 type bolt, ambi controls placed more naturally, and a hammer forged barrel, it would have my interested peaked again.

    Their gas block is pressed on. By this I mean with an interference fit. You cannot really compare it to an unpinned gas block as one would normally see.

    Yes, but after convincing Knights, when will you be offering the civilian SBR KAC PDW?
