So I found a 20” ban era knights barrel that is new/old stock. Bayonet lug was shaved off and the birdcage flash hider is a pressed on shroud. The muzzle is flush with the tip of the birdcage. I got excited when it arrived so I mocked it all up with the KAC parts I have sitting around. Now I’m hoping to run across a RAS 2 Long at a decent price!
 I have a Mod 2 marked reciever on the way to swap out the CQB marked receiver. Debating just pressing the flash hider back or have it cut and threaded so I can use my Surefire RC2 on it. Has anyone messed with this barrels?  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Cool. I have not messed with the older barrels but I am familiar with them. I have an older Vero Beach Lower that I built up with LMT parts and a RAS II back in the early 2000s so I know the feeling. I bet there is someone out there that could fix the fake flash hider when you get tired of the fake. I see complete rifles up for sale every now and again I think about grabbing one for a project but I kinda got bit by the SR25 bug so that other concepts are getting shelved.

Yeah we had a few in the shop I worked at. We had a ton of Mod 1 and Mod 2 Variants but I liked the look of the early KMC SR-15’s. I did find a SR-15 lower for this upper. Think it looks pretty good!  Attached File |

I sent it to Dave Wilson. He shave off the flash hider and put threads on it for me. |
