KAC says it won't fit into standard ARs or those of which you build etc. I think I know why, but can anyone clear it up. True/False, cause I want to try it out in my AR. |

You need to run a KAC barrel extension if you use the KAC bolt.
if so, you might as well run a KAC barrel, since they have top notch barrels. and if you are going to use a rail, kac makes some of the best so at that point, the price is better to get a factory KAC upper, with BCG and CH , sights etc (since troy is evil and kac makes the next best BUIS) And now you're wondering why you didnt get a complete KAC rifle, since even if you didnt like the lowers they sell routinely on GB for 700$+ |

The KAC bolt will not work in a standard upper.
You can however IN EMERGENCY USE a standard bolt in a kac upper, but you will drastically shorten the life of the barrel extension (wesr it oit in a few thousand rounds, vs 50-80,000 or never. |

If you want a top notch bcg that is second to none checkout Jp Full Mass BCG

If you want to be unique and maximize, look into the LMT Enhanced BCG Quote HistoryQuoted:

The radius on a KAC bolt will hit the barrel extension on a standard AR.
The radius is there to relieve the stress in a fracture critical area of the original design. |
