    Hello all,

    You've been here awhile, so you've probably heard this more than once, but I'll say it again anyway. The A2 comp offers a lot of bang for the buck. You can spend a lot more without getting a lot more, though of course the ends do justify the means at a certain point.

    Yes sir you are very very correct X1000 and lord knows if i take anyone's advice to grave it would be yours stick and i know you have my best and wallets best interest in mind with that advice

    I certainly wish i could but im am at the moment in a ban state. I could grab V seven Ti a2 (advertised as not a flash hider) it would be a bit of a sparkler in low light being TI but probably no more or less than the others

    but would maybe be less blasty and enjoyable to shoot? or am i chasing intangible's in things i wont probably even notice?

    If you wanted to put the equivalent of bling on your rifle:



    Its works but its just not cost effective.

    I bet you Stick owns one on some rifle in the back of his safe .

    I'm sorry you live on cursed earth. The below would fill the bill for a comp that isn't crazy expensive, but I have not used it personally.

    Don't tempt me on a completely nostalgia based buy now that KAC are making these again. The re-released 3D printed ones arent as cool as the wire EDM cut ones but you arent paying over $1500 on gunbroker for one either.

    Trey commented to me once upon a time when we were talking that KAC can't really make things to compete with some of the other shops. While that handstop might be easy or cheap through someone else, those other companies are smaller and can sub out work. Those companies aren't paying the power bill for a massive facility, or salaries for a bunch of workers, or benefits, or taxes on a large property piece, or a list of other things. That seems to be the reason (or at least what I took away) why KAC doesn't appear to cater to the public with some items.

    I had heard they were making them again, but didn't know they actually had them in production. Whats the street price on one of the new ones?


    The Triple Tap certainly imparts a unique impulse when shooting.
