What makes the Knights Armament SR-15 E3 5.56mm rifle such a good rifle?

[SteveL]

I was traumatized by a Knight's M4.

I'll just leave it at that.

I would like to hear about this experience.

[Army Chief]

I'm just trying to figure out if it was "good" traumatized, or "bad" traumatized.

FYI, the firing pin on the E3's is different as well.

The E3's will last 20k+
I mean bolt its parts, barrel etc.

You should not need to change anything before the 20k.


The latest SR15E3 Magpul Dynamic's limited run is pretty much the cutting edge of the guns.

Light, Fast and Accurate

nice work on the HG, and the barrel too. that thing is probably pretty light.

I truly hope I never cross paths with that particular rifle. I have a feeling it will WRECK my wallet. My local shop just got a SR-15 E3 in for a really reasonable price and it is ALL I can do to not snap it up.

[moose01]

Yeah, I'm really diggin' that Magpul edition. I've had a thing for the E3 as it is, but that's a stick to be proud of.

Wow, that rifle is speaking directly to my latest obsession with saving weight. Can you share how much the MD version weighs? Between the dimpled barrel and handguard modifications, it looks really light...

Will this version use a Fail Zero coated BCG?

"I got my barrel ball-mill lightened at KAC. Wanna See it?"

It's gonna be my new bumper sticker. Swear to Gawd.

That just HAS to be the sexiest way to lighten a hammer forged barrel EVER. As if the SR15 weren't enough of a home wrecker as-is.

I like the look of the Magpul edition as well. My only concern is that it's likely to add quite the premium to an already expensive gun. Looks like it has the KAC brake, and I'd bet the dimpled barrel and lightened handguard are likely to increase the cost pretty dramatically.

Would be interested in knowing price and weight savings.

IIRC, price was in the $3.2K range, I think. Badass rifle for sure, but there's no way I could justify that kind of coin.
