Sent mine for the SBR conversion about a year ago, form 4 should be back soon. The thing is completely worthless with the 16 inch barrel

By the way, if anyone is planning on buying one and then doing the SBR process... it's cheaper to get the pistol and SBR it than it is to get the rifle and then register it.

You sent it to be SBR'd about a "year" ago???
Dang thats quite a wait time.

Yeah if anyone wants one to SBR, you can get the pistol version and then buy a complete stock assembly for under $100 bucks.
I may just have to do that. I was too excited to wait on SBR paperwork from the start, but I did see that as another plus for the pistol version if I decide to go that route.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Sent it in last November, but they didn't get around to starting the process till sometime in spring/summer because they were busy from SHOT. Then had to wait on the form 1 for when they made it, then the form 3 to my dealer, and now the form 4 to me. Additionally, I forgot exactly how much it cost to shorten it, but it was over $400 not including the stamp. It would have been MUCH cheaper just to send it to ADCO, but that would void the warranty and the warranty is something you absolutely need with this badboy. so.... either get the SBR from the get go, or go with the pistol and then convert it. If you get the carbine version you'll just get pissed and eventually send it off for the conversion... so just save yourself the headache and the money

An additional option they are offering is to buy a whole new lower. If you guys notice, the barrel is on the lower half and the fire control group is on the upper half. So this way you could buy an additional lower half with a 5.5inch barrel and have that registered while keeping the 16 inch carbine barrel. All you would have to do is switch the upper. A cool option and if I remember right, it cost about $650 not including stamp. What I seriously do not like about this however, if they ever release the 9mm or .40 versions, then you would have to buy a whole new lower and register those as SBR's separately. So there are some pros and cons, just depends on how you look at it.

Um. I dont think that is possible. I looked into my Kriss getting SBR. but I didnt. Since I moved to NY State. SBR are not allowed here.

The Pistol CANNOT have a stock. You need an entirely new Upper from a Carbine in order to put the stock on. At least that is what the Kriss people told me at SHOT earlier this year.

If you want SBR just buy the SBR direct from Kriss Super V. saves you money. Costs almost the same as Carbine.

Here is a video I whore out, of me and my kriss at shoothouse

Hmmm
It sure looks like you could add a stock.
The SPD has the same hinge and locking mechanisms as the SBR & Carbine version. It looks as if you could just take out the rivet that holds the SPD sling swivel (take it off), then add the SBR/Carbine stock.

Thats just my observation though ...I havent talked to Kriss about this.

it's really not so much that it takes so long for them to get the work done, it's more that it is stuck in the NFA process more than anything.

Here's a reply from Kriss about the SDP to SBR conversion.

"Thanks for your inquiry. We do offer SDP to SBR conversions. The process is fairly simple if you'd like us to do the conversion. We will send you a quote for the work (approximately $318) which includes parts and labor. Once you agree to the quote, you can ship us your SDP. We will complete the appropriate forms with the ATF, so the conversion, and then ship it to your class 3 dealer for transfer to you. If this interests you, please let me know and I will prepare a quote for you. It will take about 3-5 to complete the conversion due to the paperwork.
If you have any other questions, please let me know."

nice. not sure what the nfa wait time is for them to register it and then ship it to a dealer, but the personal transfer time is about 4-5 months. So it'd have to be at least a 8 month process

that's good news, hopefully everything will start to get faster. It seems like shipman is flying through form 1's

With the osprey upside down, is there enough clearance for the light?

No, I think you misunderstood my question, I'm talking about running a light in the hole of the upper receiver specifically meant for running a light. It's the hole above the barrel meant for executive series surefire.

Not sure what he's using, but the major told me I needed to use a fixed spacer or I would eventually destroy the gun

Use the solid piston. It's a fixed barrel.
