So with the news now out that the KX5 is available in 7.62 I have ordered one. So now it is time to finish this thing. Just a couple questions.

1)The only thing I need now is a Noveske NSR. I am thinking about getting the 11 inch NSR. The next one up is 13.5. I want the NSR to cover the end of
the barrel and then the KX5 to stick out a bit. Do you think 11 is the way to go? I measured it up as best as I could and from what I could
tell with a 13.5 NSR it would be sticking out past the KX5!! Can anyone shed some light here that knows? Thanks in advance!

2) I want this to be a firearm so I can attach a VFG to it. From what I think I have read I would need to switch out the Phase 5 Pistol Buffer tube
for a different one. Which one should I get so that my OAL with be greater than 26 inches and I can run a VFG. Thanks in advance!

kak super tube

Was surprised that is a suppressor. Looks just like my KAK flash can. Can you take a frontal pic? Just want to see what it looks like for it being a suppressor vs a plain can thats not controlled by BATF.

The Noveske KX5 is not a supressor. Kind of confused by your reply. Ill post pics once I have it. Its like the flash can but has a steel insert instead of all alumium. Its supposed to make it last. Naturally it is heavy!

Anyone have anything they can add about how the NSR 11 will look with the KX5 on a 10.5" barrel?

Thanks!

I typed 11" NSR with KX5 in google and had good results

Out of curiosity, what is the benefit of the "firearm' configuration? I know it allows you to attach a VFG, but is that really worth the added length, or was this more of a because i can build. Regardless, sounds like a fun project.

Most are achieving the 26" length with the KAK pistol buffer tube.  It is slightly longer and gets close to an ideal length when shouldering the Sig brace.

It just depends on how you want to configure it.  I have a 10.5" with the KAK tube for the wife, but I don't plan on using a VFG...

 

The KX5 is 3.25 inches, plus the 10.5 inch barrel = 13.75 inches
But subtract about 0.5 inches for retraction after KX5 is screwed on for an approximate OAL of about 13.25 inches.
So with the NSR 11, the KX5 would stick out from the rail about 2 inches.


Closest example I found is below, where it's a 13.75 inch barrel with a KX5, mounted under an NSR 15.
13.75 + 3.25 - 0.5 = 16.5 OAL.
So with the NSR 15, the KX5 sticks out 1.5 inches

If this is what you have, I am looking at what they are calling it,"KX5 flash Suppressor". And states its classified as a flash suppressor by BATF FTB. Am I reading this wrong?

You are reading it correctly. It is classified as a flash suppressor. This is the same idea as an A2 Birdcage Flash Suppressor. This has nothing o do with a sound suppressor(silencer). I think you may be confused about the difference between a Flash Suppressor and a Sound Suppressor. It happens.

NFAFUN = Thank you for that info. This is exactly the information I was looking for!

On a side note. I think I am going to go with the Fortis SHIFT Vertical Grip - Keymod although I am game for any suggestions you all might have :)

Once this is complete I am going to SBR the firearm :)

Thanks,

Thanks. read into it seeing the BATF info on the bottom. Looks good.

I went with this tube and a 10.5. Without a muzzle device, it's right at 27".

I had this tube first and ordered the KAK Super tube thinking it was going to be longer.  This tube is the same length as the KAK Super tube, which is the longest available that I know of.

So with thos you use your Carbine castle nut and the plate that gos on the receiver end and CAR buffer and spring???

Yes

They both provide a measurement but KAK measures from the endplate "THIS TUBE EXTENDS FROM THE RECEIVER 8.45 FROM THE ENDPLATE", while the one on amazon states 9" oal for the tube.

ETA went and measured mine from the endplate and it's a cunt hair over 8.5"
