I'm doing it with a kx5 and Daniel defense 14.5 in barrel once dsg gets it back in stock and ships it.  Fitting it all under a geiselle mk3 15inch rail. I'm psyched to see it come together.

I got a Noveske built Infidel and it rocks! Built with a Vltor VIS so it's probably a little heavier than the ones pictured above. But that's what muscles are for

Did I mention how bad ass this rifle is?

Too nose heavy and a waste of the pig.

The pig is really only good on a very short CQB SBR.

If You are going to pin a barrel, a 14.5 and a standard muzzle device is superior.

Get a lightweight rail. I had one with the vis rail and it was heavy. I now have one with with a nsr and it's awesome. Lots of people hate the setup, but do what you want.

check out the QD brake shield.  http://www.weaponoutfitters.com/qd-brake-shield-simplistic-shooting-solutions.html

you can use a pinned AAC or YHM brake with the same effect as the KX3 or remove when not CQB/public range/etc...

Im not sure... but I wouldn't  hesitate to guess it is over 9lbs.  The 13.8" troy quad rail does not help in the weight department.

Don't mind all the hate OP.
If that is the build that you want to do, than do it.  I love how OP asked about one particular set up and people come in just to tell him not to build it with no reason other than it was designed for a short barrel and... dont do it.

Maybe OP already has a 14.5" pinned w/ whatever the fuck FH/MB... cuz no one here has more than one ar...
The pig works great on a 13.7"... yeah I know it was designed for a shorter barrel but guess what. OMG IT STILL WORKS!!!!

I love the look of the build and that is why I built one.  It's different and I like that about it. It might not be you best tactical CQB gun but lets be real... most of ARFCOM  sits in their basment and the last time that they cleared something they were jerking it to a pic of Costa...

Like I said in my original post I have plenty of other guns and this is my go to, people on here trying to say that a couple ounces more out front really make that big of difference need to hit the gym.  Weight on the kx5 is 4.5 ounces and you have .8 less barrel than a 14.5 plus whatever device you pin to it so your really talking in fractions when it comes to the differece of weight.  Op if that's the look you're going for do it you'll always want it if you don't try it.  Take a chance Columbus did.

I built my gun with a rainier barrel and used a Mega billet set that's one of the reasons I'm at 8lbs and not less.

Considering that's a service his business offers I would disagree.

 



I would guess it's because hanging an unnecessary weight on the end of the barrel is expensive and offers no real benefit.




Why do people ask so many "hey guys should I...?" questions? Just fucking do it! Do you ask your mom/wife which underoos to wear every morning?

I think op asked if anyone has experience with this setup and for the pros and cons, so I would think if you haven't had a kx5 or shot it how could you give advice on the matter.

I just don't see a reason but if that's what ya want, it's what you want.

The way I see it, I'd rather have the extra inch of barrel with a normal muzzle device pinned. If I wanted something shorter, I would use a 10.5'' with flaming pig. A 13.7'' barrel is just... kind of "meh". Lacks the velocity of the 14.5'' barrel while still retaining the same overall length, which doesn't make it any better at CQB.

My first Infidel build.  Used a Rainier barrel, Noveske 13.5 NSR. VLTOR 1A upper.

My current Frankinfidel:









Noveske N4 upper
BCM KMR 13.5" and as soon as i can get my hands on a 15" kmr, the pig will have its blanket.
Noveske 13.7 Infidel barrel, pinned KX5
BCM BCG

After building my first one, i learned to preempt any post on here concerning it with "Yes, i know the pig is made for shorter barrels, yes, its heavy, yes blah blah blah"

In terms of its weight, absolutely not an issue for me.  The amount of flame it puts out, I do not understand its designation as a flash hider.  Definitely my favorite upper to shoot.  Just love ripping as many rounds through it as i can in as short amount of time as possible.

As Psyops said, i am sitting in my moms basement, looking at right now!!!

I have the rainier 13.7 ultramatch  with a pinned kx3. If it's too nose heavy you might consider doing some push ups. the only problem I can see is that I cannot attach a suppressor on this particular upper.

I rather have a 10.5 myself or even a 14.5

I did mine with a kx5 mostly for looks, less for function. I know my rifle is going to be a little husky, but that's why they make padded slings.
When I'm in my mom's basement thinking about my next build, I might go for lightweight.

I chose to place my KX5 on a PWS Mk 107 mod 1

I always thought a 13.7 with a kx 3/5 would be great for home defense for those who can't SBR.  It throws everything at the intended target- blast, concussion, and bullet.  Also, it is my belief and I could be wrong, they'd be great in close quarters if you have a teammate (police) because,once again, everything is thrown forward.

This thread is relevant to my interests.  I have considered the 13.5" barrel and KX3 (or possibly KX5) for awhile....I think a pig would look nice peeking out of the end of a Lancer carbon fiber fore end.

I like mine. Use it more than my others around the farm. Digger squirrel killing machine. The pig really blows the blast forward.  Mines a noveske upper/spikes lower. Few yotes as well.

I have a KX5 on a 7.5" PDW.  It's the only one that fit inside of the SLR rail.
