    Lastly, is there any idea on when orders will be taken on the SR25 M-Lok models?
    I change some minor things on the guns that I shoot personally, and I would prefer to extend those minor changes across the line. That said, there are always concerns about outside sources with regard to pricing stability, availability, delivery schedule, testing, work instruction changes, etc., that makes it more of an effort than most would think to change some simple things based on individual preference.

    As far as CSASS goes, I cannot divulge information about an ongoing government program. I can only say that what I have right now I consider to be superior to the submission.

    Dealers should be able to place orders for the released products presently, but I will have to confirm with my commercial guys.

    As much as I want an MLOK SR25 ACC I would never sell my MWS to get one. That said, the MWS is currently set up in a DMR configuration, and when I get an ACC I would likely set it up in a more traditional battle rifle configuration.

    I see exactly what you're saying. The MWS is God awfully heavy and even though it's going on a diet, I can def see where the SR25 would fill that role for you.

    Don't sell your MWS!

    The barrel reconfigure feature ALONE makes it a keeper!
    MWS might be heavy but it's a healthy heavy.
    Just take time and save.

    Still curious about the Proof barrel. I would think it would make it lighter. Nothing is perfect but it's interesting.

    I was able to check out the ACC at SHOT last week, it is definitely on the buy list.

    Thanks for the response.

    No, it is not what was submitted for CSASS. While I cannot discuss an ongoing gov program, I can say that I prefer the current ACC and APC over what was submitted. In short, the program forced us to push weight into places we didn't want to, remove weight from places we wanted, and forced some dimensions that we didn't find optimal. What we have separate from the program is mostly what we want.

    I don't know if the QDC/CQB can is the smallest and lightest combat rated suppressor on the market. It is the smallest and lightest 7.62 suppressor that we currently offer.

    As far as the ITAR and photographs go (from the comments), our compliance folks err heavily on the side of caution, especially true beginning a few years ago, which prompted the ITAR warning signs. Back when a bunch of companies got hit for various seemingly silly reasons, we remained unaffected. We "prohibit" photography to limit non-customers from having easy access to detailed information with which to reproduce our products and to reduce the number of poor photographs of heavily handled products out in the wild. We provide a press-pack on request.
    Not that I would dream of question the engineering coming out of KAC, but I'm a little curious why cut rifled over CHF? Would the CHF barrel not yield better durability?

    KAC has done many cut rifled barrels in the past vs hammer forged.

    Because we do everything on the 7.62 barrels in house, and we're not doing 7.62 CHF in house yet. We've got a good formula with what we have and we aren't going to change it until sufficient testing has been carried out and evaluated.

    Certainly makes sense, thank you for the explanation.
