    It's not really an apples to apples comparison. Some people get sticker shock from the KAC, but if you add up all of the high quality components on the SR15 I think that it is a good deal. KAC pretty much sets the bar for AR components, you just have to decide if the SR15 configuration really fits your needs.

    All I needed was a basic BCM, but if money was no object I would definitely have a KAC in the safe. Both are very high quality firearms, by which all others should be judged. I would trust my life to either weapon.

    You could also look into getting a complete BCM Middie with a URX installed as a nice middle ground.

    ETA: My opinion is not completely qualified as I do not own an SR15. However, I have been very happy with the KAC products that I own and have never heard any justified criticism of anything made by KAC. You may pay a premium for KAC products, but I do not believe that you are paying for a name.

    The URX is one of the lightest rails out there. It's advantages are it's light weight, sleek and slim design, multiple QD sockets, and integrated front sight.

    Ohh, and it's KAC

    I believe you are paying for the name. I know that KAC makes many good products, but they have spit out more than a few lemons, see the problems with the M110 trigger, SR-25 teething, and their vfg that is about as durable as a twig. They make some very innovative products though that deserve the recognition they get. Their new Triple Tap is one example, but is it really worth all of the cash they want for it? I would get the BCM and never look back. It does everything the KAC does, but it cost a significant amount less and does not use any non-standard parts. YMMV.

    How many rounds do you have through KAC products, to come to these conclusions?

    Enough to form this opinion. I will caveat that with I have never used the SR-15 before. I still don't see a reason for the prices they demand for their products.

    How much is enough, and what type of setting?


    Trying to put your comments in context.

    If you add up the components and take into consideration the expected lifespan of the barrel & bolt, the SR15 is not a bad value at all. I don't understand why people get worked up over the SR15 E3 price, but will pay just as much for a Noveske or LWRCi rifle without blinking. I own 2 E3's btw.
