That’s an interesting observation. I noticed the similarity to my 308 MAMS when I was removing the Mini MAMS and checking it for previous pin, but it didn’t click that it was different than my other Gen1 Mini MAMS that is pinned on my Carbine upper (which has the two flats). So many intricacies with KAC parts. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By spdrcrgts:

For example, my newly acquired Gen 1 MAMS has two wrench flats just like all of my Gen 2's have had. I'm assuming that maybe the early Gen 1's were the four flat versions, then later on KAC changed the design to the two flat version, which carried over into the design of the Gen 2's. Here's a pic of mine. Notice only two wrench flats. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/363550/20181108_200248_jpg-732598.JPG Here's a pic of a Gen 2 that I recently sold. Notice it also has two flats. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/363550/20181108_200234_jpg-732600.JPG And then here's another Gen 1. Notice the four flats, or square back design, like that of the 7.62 MAMS. Hopefully, @spdrcrgts doesn't mind me using his photo for this comparison. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/363550/20181108_201216_jpg-732606.JPG Last pic is of a 7.62 MAMS, just to show the similarity of the back end between it, and (what I assume to be the earlier) Gen 1 5.56 MAMS in the pic above. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/363550/20181108_201617_jpg-732612.JPG For those of you already familiar with the differences in the Gen 1 MAMS, can you give anymore information? Am I correct in my assumption that the four flat was the earlier model, and the two flat was the later one? Was one version out produced or old sold by the other, or is one more difficult to find or more sought after?

Unless I'm missing something here, which is very possible! ETA: Nevermind! I see what you're saying now. The QDC stuff was around in 2012, it just wasn't available yet. I knew I wasn't getting the big picture there. After rereading your post I picked up on it. Lol. So you added the Gen 1 MAMS to your Mod 1, it didn't come with it, right? Mod2 is when Kac starting to use a QDC FH and was suppressor ready. Originally Posted By spdrcrgts: Got your message. It’s yours. I’ll reply shortly. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 871JZ: It is interesting. I believe it's much less common then the two flat Gen 1's. I've been looking through pics of Gen 1's for the last 30 minutes and haven't spotted another four flat version yet. Not one. They're all two flatters. Looks like @swiftimproved220 grabbed a sweet piece with this one. Will be an excellent addition to his collection. Edit- have the perfect home for it on my mod1 Carbine upper. |

My dad gave me a Colt A2 upper +bcg and hand guards so I turned it into a late USMC XM4 with a few subtle KAC goodies/upgrades.
Test fired, BZO-ed for M855, and was ringing 10"x19" steel plate at 300m with it yesterday 
KAC parts are: - Old gen NT4 flash hider - 2 stage trigger from one of my SR25s - Detroit PD trade in QDSS NT4 that I use for beater/demo

Hey what would you guys consider a good price on an SR25 lower used? Looking for what price point you should scoop up if you see it.
Any differences in sr25 lowers, anything to watch for? |

Once in awhile it's nice to try and preserve something instead of wearing it out. Lol Terrible pics, but here's the replacement. Not sure what one of the previous owners did to this thing, but as this pic shows, it was damn near raw stainless when I received it.  Attached FileI cleaned and degreased it and went over it with a cold blue pen in an attempt to bring the normal color back. Still shows a lot of wear which is fine by me, but it looks much better now in comparison to before. As a side note, cold blue pens work much better on non-stainless metals. It took a few treatments with the cold blue to get it to this point, with it darkening a little more with each coloring.  Attached File Attached File |

That is an incredible addition to your collection. Are you planning on registering another lower to replace the one you had the dimpled upper on since it'll be paired with the new upper? Two QD cup lowers would make for great pics with both of these beautiful/rare uppers installed. 
Seeing those pics of your dimpled upper reminds me that I've literally been planning for months and months to send my Mod 2 barrel out to Marvin for dimpling, but I just haven't done it yet. I keep making excuses because I don't wanna be without it for 6-8 weeks. What I really want is a dimpled Mod 1 Carbine upper like yours, I'm just waiting for one to pop up in the price range I'd like to pay. |

And I don’t plan to change that. Just will keep the carbine upper off on the shelf and keep the fsgb upper on the lower. Easy to change around if I need to. |

Not sure what one of the previous owners did to this thing, but as this pic shows, it was damn near raw stainless when I received it. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/363550/20181110_215059_jpg-734865.JPG I cleaned and degreased it and went over it with a cold blue pen in an attempt to bring the normal color back. Still shows a lot of wear which is fine by me, but it looks much better now in comparison to before. As a side note, cold blue pens work much better on non-stainless metals. It took a few treatments with the cold blue to get it to this point, with it darkening a little more with each coloring. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/363550/20181110_215633_jpg-734871.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/363550/20181110_215749_jpg-734873.JPG |

Once in awhile it's nice to try and preserve something instead of wearing it out. Lol Terrible pics, but here's the replacement.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Outrider: Sig SRD762Ti. It is absolutely stupid quiet with subsonic .300 BLK. I did a silencer shoot a few years ago and Sig was down on one end with a MCX and this thing. I was next door at Dead Air and had to look over and see what the hell was going on because it was the quietest thing at the shoot. I went and shot it and was sold.

Had a really good day. Got her all sighted in @ 100 and was making very consistent shots @ 500 when prone with bipod. That 11.5” was putting in work and surprised me at that range!

Nice, I’m not familiar with them but I bet it’s very quiet. Here’s my Liberty Leonidas. It’s an integral style upper. Can is huge and the gas is reflexed back over the barrel and gas block. It’s the quietest CF rifle I own with both super or subs. 300BLK cal https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/468215/3A1E4B39-CA55-47A4-AC8B-4CF240B6AA85-356731.jpg https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/468215/FA6BE040-B1CD-44CC-BF04-268197C3DB19-356733.jpg https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/468215/DDBE574F-A726-4A2D-B7BE-12235DD5D77B-356734.jpg https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/468215/F6C85B2F-6B2C-4540-9D68-E0CB8CF1D663-356736.jpg https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/468215/0F1C577F-BF6A-45A9-8DEF-44BA2DD68FF1-356738.jpg And the Liberty Leonidas is fantastic. At that same shoot I had an opportunity to shoot it and was very impressed. My first cans were a Liberty Mystic X and Regulator. Liberty makes some good stuff. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Outrider: Sig's silencer division was lead by Kevin Brittingham (AAC founder) for a short time before they split ways. His current company Q is doing some of the same stuff in terms of large OD (1.75") fully welded/no tube titanium silencers. The large volume cans excel with low pressure subsonic. And the Liberty Leonidas is fantastic. At that same shoot I had an opportunity to shoot it and was very impressed. My first cans were a Liberty Mystic X and Regulator.

Why does the Knights low profile gas block rest on the interior of the URX II rail? I put together the SBR that I’ve wanted but the parts don’t seem to work together well. Kinda defeats the purpose of a free float rail...

One of my SR-15s has a gas block with a different profile than others, and it is more of a bevel than the 'jaw-line' blocks we're used to.
You may elect to do some milling to give clearance and re-parkerize or coat it with something protective. You can see what I'm talking about here: 
The top one is what I'm referring to. |

Added an LPVO (Vortex Razor) and decided to go with a two-tone look with FDE furniture. Now I can say I am finally done.
