The standard E3 extractor springs (21365) were replaced by the heavier red extractor springs (30257) at some point.
Does anyone know when KAC made this change to the heavier spring and why? Were there longevity issues with the standard springs or were they simply too weak to provide the necessary extractor tension? If anyone has compared the old springs to the new ones, what were the differences? |

If you're on the fence about picking up a Mod 2 CQB, I say do it now! You won't regret it, that's for sure. Wanted to touch on a couple of the things you mentioned. As far as the trigger, I've put a Geissele in every AR I've owned up until my first KAC two-stage, which came with my Mod 2. Unless you have a preference for single stage triggers and wanna use the new SSP or an S3G, I wouldn't bother swapping the KAC trigger out for a Geissele. That's what I planned on doing if I didn't like the KAC trigger, but honestly, it's near identical to my SSA's. First stage isn't quite as smooth, but it's acceptable. It breaks just as cleanly as the SSA, and has a bit shorter reset. Because of the shorter reset, I can shoot the KAC faster than the SSA. On to the muzzle device. I swapped my QDC three prong out for a MAMS simply because I wanted a brake instead of a flash hider. Either way, the factory three prong can be used as a mount if you pick up one of KAC's newer QDC suppressors. If it matters to you, they do look sick on a Mod 2 upper. 
And I actually like the newest version of their charging handle, but I understand a lot of guys swap them out for their favorite Gucci handle, which is fine. I know these pics aren't of an 11.5" gun, but maybe they'll still help convince you that you should pick one up. This is a pic of mine the day I bought it with a QDC mounted. Very nice suppressors. https://s17.postimg.org/x1mm1dctr/20180127_180208.jpg And here's a pic after I swapped the 16" upper out for a 14.5" after pinning/welding a MAMS to it, also with some other changes/additions to the base rifle. https://s17.postimg.org/xsfc6o273/20180215_121705.jpg Thanks, man.

after buying an SR15 did you guys ever go back to anything else? I have a BCM lower that needs an upper on it, and I dont want the 350 dollars to go to waste. However, I feel that after I buy this SR15 I wont wanna buy anything else besides a Noveske or Radian Model 1 possibly. Im hesitant to even go with anything else due to the E3 bolt, gas system, and ambi controls. Are the ambi control over rated? Im used to a standard lower on my issued M4, but I have a feeling I will get so used to the SR15 lower and upper setup that I wont want anything else really. Hell, it might encourage me to get a LPR and 11.5 SBR versions lol

I feel the bolt release is far more useful. |

I have a preference for the old retro CAR stocks, plus KAC cheaped out on their complete rifles and they now come new with a Magpul MOE stock and MOE SL grip instead of the SOPMOD/A2 combo they've always had. The CAR stock suits my needs just fine, but you're not the first to ask why I run it. It does everything I need it to while being super light and $25. It works for me and I actually like the look. For those that like a smaller, lighter stock, but want something more substantial than the CAR stock, the LWRC Compact stock is basically a miniaturized SOPMOD. It's also cheap at $50. Not the Ultra Compact stock, just the regular Compact. Very nice stock that handles abuse well considering it's size and weight. |

Good picture. So for lefties, if you press the left side mag release with your left pointer finger this will drop the mag and the Redi Catch will also activate the bolt catch. So picture pressing the mag release with your left pointer finger and using your right hand to lock the bolt to the rear by pulling the charging handle. In one simple motion you've cleared your weapon without having to remove your firing grip. I put the Redi Catch on all my serious "blasters" and feel naked without having one on there.

If you're referring to the slot cut into the lower above and below the word "MAG" on the magazine release, that's just how the lower is machined. There's nothing missing there. The magazine release is the part that's grey and says "REDI-MAG" on it. A standard magazine release doesn't have the vertical post or the spring attached.

I really like the small outside diameter of the rail as-is, and that's why I loved Ayan's pre-cut grip tape so much. Gave me the traction I wanted without any added girth. Might try to zip-tie them on temporarily so I can get an idea of how the added width feels. |

I just had the biggest retard moment of my life. Somehow the lighting in the photo when I looked at it for some reason made my mind think that there was a massive hole where the left side magazine release was and I was looking through the receiver towards the background. I dont know how in the hell I thought that at first, but I must have been tired since I cant drink on deployment
Is your pair of SR15s the 14.5 carbines or 16 inch rifles? How do you like the MAMS, the small stocks, and eotechs? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Slovpeter:

As far as the two SR-15's in the pic I posted, the bottom one is an SR-15 "lookalike". I built it using as many KAC parts as I could, excluding the barrel, which is a 14.5" Colt SOCOM, and a Colt bolt carrier group. I used a KAC stripped lower, take-off SR-15 E3 upper, URX4 MLOK, and a whole bunch of other Knight's parts. The top rifle is a 14.5" Mod 2. Been a great rifle aside from the fact that it has an issue with the gas rings getting tight after firing. I've had the rifle for about two months and I'm at just about the 1300 round mark. Even after replacing the rings with a set of Colt rings the problem still persists. Haven't figured out why it does this, but with a couple drops of lube into the carrier vents the problem goes away. Carrier bore looks good, so I'm at a loss as to why it does this. The gun never stops running during this, though, so I guess I'll just live with it for now. And I love the MAMS. Super effective brake. Same with the CAR stocks and Eotech's. With the magnifier mounted behind any of my red dots I can get standing hits out to 350-400 yards on a 12"x12" swinging plate. |

Finally managed to find a few NOS KAC 98722 QD sling mounts for my CAR stocks. I know there was someone else here recently who was also looking for one of these. If you happen to see this shoot me an IM or email.

Been enjoying reading the fine tuning that 871JZ has been doing on his SR’s. Really well setup rifles from all the members on this page!
