    Here is my KISS. I will be building another one which will have all the bells and whistles, but I like this one as it is.

    My sons KISS rifle. I do have all of the "bells and whistles" for his rifle, but he will learn basic marksmanship with it set up like this. Of course he has 2-3 years to wait to progress to this rifle. BAD lever and ambi charging handle latch removed. He will start on his bolt action .22 first. Face blurred to protect his deep cover identity.

    Personally, I am all for anything that puts good rifles in the hands of good people.

    Keep it simple. Smooth is fast. And don't be in a hurry to have an accident. Master your iron sights then move on to other things.

    Having a "KISS" rifle/carbine is different between owners. As Matt Edwards alluded to, having a KISS gun is to have only those items that enhance functionality in your use. To some, that means nothing more than iron sights and stock handguard, because they never moved past that point in training or employment. To others, that means two white lights, two optical aiming devices, a BUIS, an IR laser and flood, a visible laser, and a VFG to keep their hand in position to use it all. Sure, dude 1 will probably be able to hold his own when it comes to the 200 yard standing slow-fire, but will be completely outclassed in the dark, engaging threats from 2 to 300 meters. In the first instance "Simple" means in relation to the very narrow band of employment that the user has for his gun. In the second, "Simple" refers to the easiest and most efficient means to achieve impact on the enemy in any given circumstance.

    When people show images of a stock carbine and call it (with a degree of self-righteousness and condescension) KISS, what I read is "Incompetent", and the acronym is more suited to: Kept Irrelevant and Self-Satisfied.
    I couldn't agree more! Perfect summation and exactly how I would like to have written it had I the eloquence!!!

    Here is what we issue at work. No wires no extra nothing. A good light that works with our racks and a great optic. The Troy single point is not in the picture.



    Here is my light weight KISS. PWA A1 lower, Colt stock, BM C7 upper, Colt factory 14.5 1/7 barrel with a pinned on Vortex, Sling Systems 3 point sling and a SF 649 light kit.

    Here is mine, very simple, very utilitarian for my purposes.



    If something that needs shooting is a further away then this very simple carbine may make more sense. Again a focus on utility rather than nostalgia or budget.



    Define the role of your rifle, and then you can decide on what is the minimum that is required to accomplish it.
