I have owned and built a bunch of AR's over the last two years. I sold everything except my KAC's. I originally bought mine for the ambi controls since I shoot left handed. I do not know how to convey how good the weapon really is. If you have a friend who has one, ask him to go to the range with you one day. Seeing is believing how good they are. There is a reason so many people who purchase become converts.
I can say they are picky when it comes to ammo. They have an insatiable hunger for anything that goes bang. Kind of like the fat chick at the buffet. It will eat all yours and your friends and ask for more. This includes Tula, all Wolf ammo, Fed, IMI, Herters, and so on. The only time I have had problems with mine is when I shot about 500 rounds of herters without a cleaning. I missed 3 coyotes due to short stroking. I solved this by cleaning with a chamber brush. Metal cased ammo is fine, but keep the chamber clean.
While at the range one day with some friends I had them shoot a BCM, Noveske, and my KAC. Guess which one they all liked the best ? The gun just feels good when you shoot it.
I do not worry about the proprietary parts in the gun. Get a spare parts kit for the BCG and call it good.
I bought my first KAC 4 years ago. It was one of the best decisions on a gun purchase I have made. Out of the box gun that only needs a grip. The trigger alone makes the purchase more than worth it.
If I am at a class/range I normally let others shoot it as well. After they touch it for the first time, I always tell them to "drive it like you stole it" and have fun.
If I wanted an ultra reliable AR what would I choose - KAC
If I could only have one AR what would it be ? - KAC
If the sky is falling and the world takes a crap - KAC
If I am a left hand shooter wanting ambi controls - KAC
Feed me and clean me, then I will always take care of you.
It's not about being a fanboy of the brand. It's about being a believer in the product. I do think they charge a bit too much when everyone else's are much cheaper, but you get what you pay for.
