What?

1.) The discord was free and opened to anyone (it doesn't exist anymore). Anyone could join, not just "buddies" and majority of the people in that group I never have met or talk to outside of that discord. They were people who liked KAC, and wanted to be apart of a community of people who also enjoyed those things. I would hold maybe 10% of items sometimes for the discord people and it was never the same people over and over again. I wanted to make things fair. Some people can't be on their emails, or they work night shifts. I understand that literally nothing I say will change your weird vendetta against PSD.

2.) No one is forcing you to buy anything with a raffle or any package. I give away a lot of stuff to this community for free, some unannounced and some as a sales incentive.

3.) What upper did we go to KAC and buy and sell? Because none of that happened ever.

That upper was on consignment from a customer, it's clearly listed in the ad. We earn a commission for the sale of the item, and the customer gets his money. It's pretty straight forward and extremely common.

I really can't control what others are doing with that discord. I nuked the one we ran so that I could be completely done with it. Also, majority of my sales are to out of state people like 90% because people in Texas don't want to pay 8.5% sales tax. I have held items for AR15.com members too like some T-2 battery caps and CRS cans in early January. What's been interesting to me is some of the people complaining that I would sell them something with a private link, were some of the same people emailing me and capitalizing on that.

Also - I did sell some uppers to Custom Night Vision, but they did not have sandcutters in them. I did not know what their plan was with those uppers. Those were things they got from KAC. I have received like 10 sandcutters in 4 years. Guess what, your favorite dealers have wholesaled stuff to other companies too. If you have a business license/tax exempt status, EIN and FFL and you want to buy some KAC stuff, you can email me. It's not a secret, it's not a some backdoor thing. But up until recently we've had nothing to offer other dealers. There is no secret a lot of FFLs extend courtesy pricing to other industry people.

Yes we have suppressors, and we have a ton and we've sold a ton. Probably 300+ cans in the last two or three months. You guys are upset that us and several other dealers have large amounts of suppressors to go hand in hand with short wait times? I don't have to give a lower away, they sell just fine on their own. I do it because the it's a hard to get item from a backorder from August 2021. I could also just put the few up on the website and have the people with bots setup buy them like always? There are a lot of great dealers in the space, I am trying to reward customers who choose to spend their hard earned money with me.

There seems to be this disconnect - just because things are in stock doesn't mean people are not buying. I told this to people last year that cans would be on the shelves and normalized in just months when they actually hit their production stride on the new line. If you want to be the first person to get one, yeah you're going to have to be lucky on a drop or pay GB prices. Or you can just wait when they're plentiful. I tell this to potential customers and current customers all the time.

I also have sold some MCQs under dealer cost on GB on penny auctions, and I sold a SR-25 6.5 Complete FDE rifle for $5,000 on GB in the peak of the pandemic. I also sold a couple of my personal MK11 suppressors to buy finger printing software for the new E-Forms when they launched. So you can post my successful GB auctions, but you should also see the ones that are good deals because they happen too. It's the free market. I'm sure people will just say "well you just put the stuff you can't sell on GB" while in the same sentence complain if we put something that would sell on GB for a lot.

I wish we had more to sell too dude, but in the same sentence of saying we don't have stuff to sell you're saying we have too many suppressors? The hard part is a lot of people are new to KAC and weren't around before the pandemic. The way we ordered parts was a lot different, and I would order things based on demand. Things like KAC bipods, SR-30s, KAC suppressors, IWS lowers, etc...were not huge sellers.

I'm all ears to your suggestions, if you want to call me or even come visit the shop I will host you. We have whiskey and cigars and some cool KAC stuff.
