PM sent, IG.
The person you were speaking to (Tim R.) is an inside sales rep (nothing more). He is NOT the official spokesman for KAC. So when you say that "THEY SAID", you need to be careful as I am betting that he does not speak for the company.
Your post was in 2008. At that time, that gun had just started to see the light of day. There was probably about 3 of them in the world.
So you were upset about the fact that you couldn't buy a gun (which would have cost you $40K) that didn't have any mags for ammo for it. Right.
In case you were not aware, there are ammo and guns that companies make that they WON'T SELL YOU. Why? Because they don't know what you would do with it.
As an FFL dealer, I have declined the sale of firearms and ammo to people that I did not trust. Did I stomp their 2A rights? Yep and am glad I did.
Let me make it a little more clear for you. Aimpoint and Trijicon (for instance) make optics and lasers that they won't sell to you or me. Why? Because I might be able to look around a corner, see in the dark or burn someones eyes out without them knowing it. Keep in mind, I am trusted with machine guns and suppressors (C3 Dealer), but cannot have certain optics or IR laser.
Should I start a rant about the fact that these two companies won't sell me something that they (or the Govt) has chosen to restrict? No. Why? Because it is foolish and a 100% waste of time.
This thread isn't about Spikes. It is about the moron that took a grinder to his RE. It just so happens that the product he did the grinding on was a ST RE.Do you really think if the post was about Spikes versus KAC it would of been deleted?
Yes I know KAC has changed opinion since ...
Right you are! https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...&highlight=kac

He's *got* to be talking about the bolt catch.
Which reminds me - me and a buddy went to a local GTG shoot involving people we met on a state gun forum. (Shadenfreude, if you're reading this, yeah, I'm going there.)
Anyway, a guy had a frankengun AR that was malfunctioning rather often. The guy upon whose land we were shooting - and claimed to be an Army armorer - told the guy he'd be happy to fix the gun for him. Did he try fixing the problem by first trying a different mag from the ratty-assed one the shooter had? NO - he told the guy to come with him - they were going to the house where the 'armorer' was going to dremel some M4 Feed Ramps.
The best part - get this - as they were walking away, Shadenfreude and I BOTH heard the 'armorer' say that if that didn't fix the problem, maybe the FIRING PIN SPRING WAS BAD!!!!![]()
I did not mention KAC in my original post, I only mentioned it after Grant mentioned the post dealt with them so how would I have taken a stab at them?
A little reading comprehension from you and you can get the idea of what happened. I also clearly stated that the response from the vendor was in several different written documents.
How about a little more than 22 minutes for a response before you get your panties in a wad? Some of us work. Definitely expected better from a "mod" of a sight that is suppose to be more enlightened than ARFCOM ... You are reacting like your from ARFCOM ...

Grant, I agree with your post, but I must make a small clarification. You are a private dealer, so you may choose who to not deal with, that is your right, and your not selling to someone is not a violation of anyone's rights. The 2A has nothing to do with this, it is a recognition by our Bill of Rights that we are born with certain freedoms, and the govt shall protect these freedoms.
