    Ken might not be liked by some people, and he may hurt feelings on the internet, but there is no question that he is more than solid when it comes to weapons, especially the AR16/ M16 platforms.

    People can certainly buy cheaper and justify the cost in their own minds, but Ken isn't concerned with cost, and neither are other groups of shooters.

    I am not dog-piling. So please don't take it as that. No one is asking you to buy it. He makes the modifications and those that are in the know recognize that.

    This is also one of the reasons that Ken doesn't make many appearances on the net. He doesn't feel that he should have to divulge what he does or justify his price tag.

    From your posts I don't think that you are "one of those guys", but there are plenty of them who will spend 1200.00 on a good rifle and then 90.00 on a piece of shit optic. Or they buy a 900.00 rifle and then put UTG garbage on it.

    Ken knows what he is doing. If I was going into harms way on a daily basis and needed a configuration like that I would get one of his guns anyday of the week and would sleep like a baby at night.

    The 10" guns are cut-down 16" barrels. They will also be doing a 10.3 which is a factory Colt complete barrel assembly. IIRC the 10.3 will have the bayo lug.

    Pilot is exactly right that the 10" guns have a shitload of work in them, from one of the best in the business.
    Thanks for the info Rob. I'll stand by for the factory 10.3" upper.

    Cheers

    That does look pretty sexy.

    Any timeline on when the factory 10.3" guns might be online?

    I'm not certain but it may be by the end of this month. FWIW they will have the bayo lug on the 10.3 version. I mentioned to SAW that perhaps a 10.3 without the bayo lug might work with a QD can while the 10.3 with the lug might not, and there is perhaps a slim chance that they'll do a version where they remove the lug.

    Looks nice to me. I do miss the bayo lug, but that is only because I am used to seeing them on the rifle. What does enhanced Colt magazine mean? Sorry if that is a silly question, but I have never seen that mentioned before . . .

    Upgraded chrome-vanadium spring. Can be left loaded for extended periods without the spring degrading.

    Thumbs up The Red Spring.

    Hello,

    The Red Spring also keeps up with the high cycle rates of full-auto fire and it's the best spring upgrade that money can buy.

    Like anything that comes outta Ken's Shop, The Red Spring is amazing and it has an indefinite life.

    I'd rather beat a bad guy to death with my Browning High Power, than shoot him dead with a plastic pistol.

    Next 2k I have laying around (which should be fairly soon) won't be laying around here for long. I have one of Ken's SP guns and it's looking a bit lonely right now.
