    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.

    I fired my mod 2 14.5 yesterday with my noveske lower with A5 buffer system for the first the first time and OMG! Easily my fav AR of all time. I fired all XM193 yesterday and I had no issues except when I used Remington .223. Any tips on what to do to get it to eat cheaper ammo? I have wolf gold but haven't tried but I have xm193 and wolf gold for all my ammo.

    use a lighter buffer.

    Would I be able to just use the KAC buffer that came with my mod 2 upper? Or do I need to use a different spring and buffer tube with it?

    You need a lighter A5 buffer. If you're running an A5H2 now, try an A5H1 and A5H0. You can't run standard buffers in the A5 tube.

    The intermediate gas + A5 buffer *seems* like a natural upgrade. I remember Joe C. (sharp guy, haven't seen him post in a while) talking about that

    If I go with the h1 or h0 will there be reliability issues with 5.56?

    Unless something new has recently happened from KAC, all of the 14.5" and 11.5" 5.56 uppers and complete rifles ship with their H2 carbine buffer. The H2 carbine action is pretty much equivalent to the A5H2 action. Both of those actions do tolerate lower port pressure actions to a degree.
    If you find yourself using ammo that will not support these actions, you may want to look into a different ammo selection. There's a lot of stuff out there, some good, some bad, and a lot of in between.
    Is there an issue using the lower mass buffers that will run the problem ammo when using 5.56? That depends on the degree of the change, I personally do not do it. It may work okay for an end user that will not use a can.
    I tend to side towards feeding the fuel that system would normally need and not make a compromise for cheaper fodder that tends to make the system less balanced from its intended use.

    I run A5 on everything. However, that gas system makes the gun run so smooth, its hard to improve.

    On go KAC or no KAC, I think the gun is a fair price. By the time you consider the Trigger and ambi controls and the quality of the system. Its a very solid purchase for the dollar.
