Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PresampleDepot: I doubt you'll see some blanket "yeah we're going to honor someone blowing up a suppressor or getting a cap strike" with no questions asked. There are plenty of companies in this industry that take exactly that approach - almost word for word. Rugged. Silencer Co. OCL (as long as you “aren’t a dick”). Vortex Optics. I’m sure I am missing a few. Case-by-case is fine, but don’t “lol” at someone for asking a legit question about suppressors. While KAC may set the bar for some products, these other companies set the bar for service/warranty. Given the price of a KAC can over others, it’s a very legitimate question. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jack_L: Some parts of the new suppressor design can be repaired, but generally speaking, the end cap cannot be replaced. Please bear in mind that these suppressors are designed to be incredibly durable and a removable end-cap would compromise that structure. That said, a minor strike will generally not matter much and can usually be smoothed out. Thank you for the clarification. I was curious as to whether it could be cut off and a new one welded/printed on so the owner would not have to play the waiting game with the ATF for another F4 approval but that answers the question. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jack_L: Sounds like your distributor is making assumptions. Our recall notice stated: "Knight’s Armament Company has discovered a potential issue with recently released suppressors that may cause damage to the suppressor during use." I cannot disclose any more than that, as patent pending design features of these new suppressors are KAC IP, but I can say that the issue is far away from "blowing up". Jack, Thank you for this information. I’m seeing the QDC MCQ PRT in stock at a couple of places. Are the ones we can purchase from vendors right now good to go or might they be subject to the recall as well? |

Are the ones we can purchase from vendors right now good to go or might they be subject to the recall as well? If the cans have been received direct from KAC from about mid-July on, they're good to go and have passed KAC's new process to shoot right away. There is no recall on those units. You can assume that most of the ones in stock are from after July. However, non-direct KAC dealers sometimes have information lag, like a small local gun shop that only got a couple from a distributor for example, may have non-RMA'd cans in inventory. All you need to do just ask the dealer if they've received the "P" marking on the rear or if they were received direct from KAC after about mid-July. |

There may be some out there that the SOT is unaware of the recall (we are doing everything we can to track all of these down, but it's a long process and not everyone is great about answering calls or returning emails), BUT if it went out after the recall notice, it's good to go. ALL of those will have the proofing "P" mark. IF THE MARK IS ABSENT, IT NEEDS TO COME HOME FOR A CHECKUP. That return can happen while the paperwork is in for transfer, making it completely painless for the buyer. |

RE the 11.5/PRT issue, I guess someone needs to make some 0.0357" shims so one could reuse the existing stack. 1mm is close but no cigar.

Ive considered swapping my URX 4 for the 3.1 because it looks so good, but i definitely want to retain compatibility for the new suppressor Sorry to double-tap this, but I didn't see an answer. Anyone have any experience? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lthrneck-03: Anyone have any info on turn around time to get it back from being tested? Thanks Well, despite the best efforts of those involved, we did indeed wind up with a log-jam and exceeded the 10-day turn-around in most cases. Now that we are a few months deep into the recall, volume has dropped significantly, so we should be getting these done in that 2-3 week window. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AmericanSheepDog: Sorry to double-tap this, but I didn't see an answer. Anyone have any experience? With regard to the compatibility with the Mod 2 CQB handguard, that is not affected by the recall. The recall was due to a potential issue that could damage the suppressor if present. To fit all Mod 2 CQBs, the locking collar of the suppressor can be changed (contact customer service) to a shorter version that is not compatible with the shroud, or an additional .075 can be added to the shim stack of the muzzle device. We will also make compatible URX6 handguards available to anyone that is experiencing non-compatibility issues. |

Page 2: Originally Posted By Jack_L: These should be in and out in less than 10 working days. We are sequencing arrivals to avoid a log-jam. Thanks for the help, but my question was not answered by Jack’s reply on page 2 lol I asked if there are compatibility issues with the new suppressor on a rifle with 13.5” URX 3.1 and 14.5” barrel. Judging by his most recent reply, I’m going to assume not. CQB Barrel length (11.5”) - CQB URX4 Length (10.75”) = 0.75” and this setup only needs to be shimmed out .075” 14.5” barrel - 13.5” URX 3.1 = 1” |

For anyone waiting on a shorter Knights suppressor collar, check your spam box. I just caught my notification email asking to confirm my suppressor S/N and asking my color preference for my collar. The email landed in my spam box on 31 Jan.
Just a heads up guys. |

Damn, KAC is sending free handguards out for people? That's excellent customer service, IMHO. It's not quite like making the product right in the first place, but if your can "comes with" a free $350 handguard, that's not terrible. |

Whoa hold up, common sense and logic dictate that “One could upgrade to the URX 6” does not necessarily mean they are giving out free handguards my man. They are giving out free (shortened) suppressor collars. Not free URX6 rails. |
