    Anybody who has a bead on a reputable place with a good price (trying to do under 2K) for the KAC, please IM me. Thanks.

    Because I have the most trigger time with it, and more rounds through it than the others. I just returned from a class and put about 1300 rounds through it in 2 days. It is a mess but runs perfectly. It weighs 1/2 lb. less than my KAC and a little more than that for the Noveske. Both of the others are 16" and I prefer the handiness of the 14.7 with permed battle comp. I'm not selling either my KAC or my Noveske. There is no right or wrong answer. It's just an opinion. FWIW the BCM is on a Noveske lower.

    Another "none of the above".

    I'd choose either a vanilla Colt 6920, or a DD or BCM light weight mid length, and spend the rest of the money on ammunition/training.

    But then to me, an AR is a tool, not a toy.

    i don't buy into KAC's theories... they don't even HPT.

    NRW makes great barrels, but aside from their impeccable finish standards, the rest of the gun isn't built any better than a number of guns that retail for half as much money

    SCARs arent ARs.

    since the criteria is "trust my life to" "hard use gun," i'd go with a vetted Colt as well, if i have to chose a complete gun. runners up would be BCM and LMT

    Putting my vote in for Noveske. I must admit I have never owned a KAC.

    I already made my vote, with my own $$. It starts with a "C" and ends with a "olt"

    My "twice as expensive" noveske also came stock with rails and an awesome stock. a nice grip too.

    Thats where the excess comes in. compare apples to apples.

    it's not about cost- i know i brought cost up, but that's not actually the point. the point is that noveske makes nice barrels, and puts them on a stag platform. batch testing and basically commercial OEM parts.

    Out of those three, the KAC. Kac apparently needs some love right now on the boards, and they deserve it.
