KAC SR25 goodness. Thanks Santa.

[cohiba]

This is what happens when you still believe in Santa (and still have some money sitting around) :D

On another board, someone mentioned that a SR25 was traded in by the local sheriff's department. It was their sniper weapon. The price was not to be believed but I called. Sweet Baby Jesus it sounded awesome. Some eyes on the ground confirmed it was in great shape and it is.

The rifle came with a Blackhawk drag bag and a sniper data book. The rifle was sighted in with Hornady TAP. The included scope is a Nightforce 3.5-15 x 56 in KAC rings. The optical clarity is superb. It has the NP1-RR reticle.

The rifle is in excellent shape. The two stage trigger is very crisp. The only additions I made were the Magpul MIAD, tiggerguard and PRS stock.

The front tube is the standard fiberglass unit. I found the standard folding front sight and when it comes in, I'll have a notch milled out of the tube for it to fold into. (I know KAC offers the tube with the notch but this is easier).

The SR25 RAS is nearly impossible to get but no matter. There is a very good chance that after SHOT I will have a VERY special rail that will work just fine. I'll add the TD bipod and that should do it.

20 rounds were fired in anger today at some metal poppers and the rifle was dead on at 200 yds. This pleased me greatly. :D

Oh, and I may have bought some really cheap uppers (or 200 or so)

Ok first off you lucky bastard good steal (I mean it literally) I know it is pretty damn hard to get that rifle. And second what the hell are you going to do with those uppers? What brand are they I will need one or two for a build I am in the process of.

[DrMark]

Reports said the CT man had 200 uppers in his garage...



Seriously, very cool Christmas haul.

All you need now is a camera with a macro feature so you can focus up close!
(sorry, a little smart alecky since I didn't get any KAC goodies for Christmas ;) )

[LukeMacGillie]

Always good to figure out who is who across the boards;)

Always good to figure out who is who across the boards;)

I make a habit of doing that myself. ;)

I wanted to make a huge wind chime out of the uppers. Seriously, I'm cataloging the haul. There's all sorts of goodies.

[KevinB]

Damn John,

I was wondering if you where buying that one when it got mentioned a few months ago.

FWIW I got two KAC SR25 RAS's from Bandit at Excalibre Arms -- I dont think KAC talks to him anymore,
but if I can locate a former buddy he has the second RAS and no gun to put it on...

[gringle84]

Merry Christmas and one sweet system there, congrats.

If you have a few uppers left over after the wind chime, I'm in the market for my first build and would rather use the flattops. Let me know if you want to part with a couple or three!

Congrats again on that sweet looking system.

Mark5pt56 and I saw a KAC SR25 at the range yesterday and man was it beautiful!

Cohiba, I'm looking to buy a stripped upper or two ;)

[VA_Dinger]

Cohiba, you are killing me.

First the HK416 and now a SR25. :cool:

I've been looking for a SR25 LW RAS Match rifle for over a year.

FYI - No luck with my HK416 upper search.

[cohiba]

Thanks for the SR25 love everyone. Just to be crystal clear, the uppers are a very tricky deal that I have to sort out. If I was a betting man, I would say that they would only be sold locally in CT for reasons I can't spell out yet. If the situation changes, I'll let everyone know. Besides, I could only use 100 or so myself. :p

Cohiba, you are killing me.

If I told you the price, you'd come up here and beat me.

As to the HK416 upper, I am almost positive that one 14.5 will be available soon. Again though, if I told you the price, you'd come up here and beat me. The last two I saw available sold for $7500 EACH. :eek: There is also one for sale in AZ for $7800. It's hitting HK sear territory now.

In better news, I actually fondled a nice piston upper the other day. I've been told that 2 maybe 3 might become available. Keep hope alive Dinger. ;)

[9x19]

Very nice!

:cool:

[gringle84]

If things change and 2 or 3 can make their way to AZ. pm me, hell, I'll be happy with just one.

[QuietShootr]

Well merry freakin' christmas...:D

[Voodoochild]

cohiba I know of what site you speak and the deal you got on that. If only I had been quicker and more diligent in checking in on that board. Oh well one mans loss is another mans gain. Enjoy it man it looks like a real sweet piece.

[cohiba]

Thank you. Truthfully, I never even thought of having one. I didn't know much about them. When I saw the price ($3500 with the scope, rings, drag bag, bipod, data book for all the curious ones out there :) ), I got more interested. Then everyone started calling about it (small Internet) and I acted before it went. It will have a trick part on it soon. ;)

[VA_Dinger]

After shooting basically the same rifle today I'm even more jealous now.

:cool:

[VA_Dinger]

Keep hope alive Dinger. ;)

I'm ready.

Just let me know.

[Milkman]

FYI - No luck with my HK416 upper search.

Send me a PM. ;)

[VA_Dinger]

Send me a PM. ;)

I can't.

You do not accept PM's or emails.

Change your settings.

The hair on the back of my neck is standing up.

Unfortunately it came with only one 10 shot. I have found some 20s. Scary expensive.:eek:
