Quoted: Coldblue, actually all this leads me to plan my build using the PRI tube and parts as the original Mod0 was. All the info I have read and heard leads me to believe all (edited to say) "this industry" is tainted. Thanks for the real info.

Excellent choice (much more better than the long SIR). Dave Dunlap's PRI carbon fiber tubes are our envy. You are also smart to dublicate a "real deal" like the Mk 12 Mod 0. I think down the line, the more historically correct a piece is, the more it will increase in value and the prouder you will be with in on the range...always nice to have a piece of authenticity.
Of couse you can more than double the value of your SPR if you have both a Mod 0 and a MOD1 side-by-side in your gunsafe.
As far as "tainted" is concerned, I think you need to consider the source of such comment as to "friends" and "insiders", I mean some of these guys are just sore loosers with sour grapes. So one of these loosers prints a totally unsubstanciated remark from some ignorant rock-ape, and some people than bet their money on it. Is this stupid or what?
I will never apologize for our company (KAC) winning so many fair and open Solicitations as we have over the last 10 years (starting with the RIS, Mk 23, M4 QD, BUIS, M203 QD, the M4 & M5 RAS, Mk 11 Mod 0, Gen-2 M4 QD, etc.).
Unfortunately, some loosers of these competitive procurements lack the objectivity to re-look or re-think their losing entries, and spend their energies istead poisoning as many people as they can. I meet these poisoned rock-apes from time-to-time and its like talking to a wall. They have all the information they need, don't want to hear anything different (especially the truth of the matter). Maybe some people are born less objective than others, and then there is the sub-set of that group that loves conspiracy theories...I don't know.
But I do know when people have been BS'd to the point that the truth is not what interests them.
Go back to the rag/mag quote, I mean don't you realize that there are 10,000 happy Users of KAC equipment out there for everyone with some issue? Why are none of the overwhelming volume of good reports referenced?
There are also pictures of our GI products in many of the picutres that are not identified as such.
I could go on and on, but hopefully I have made my point.
But I can tell you that there are no former US Government Civilian employees on the payroll here out of 257 employees. There is just me (Ret'd Lt.Col. in 1991), a long Ret'd Lt. Cmdr. (who was in no way ever associated with System Acquistion (he has only been here for about 14 months), and a newly Ret'd M/Sgt USMC, also never associated with system acquisition, but is a hell of an Armorer.
So where are all the former Gov employees with the high paying jobs here on the beach in Florida?
There just ain't none. Fact.
I imagine that anyone interested could obtain (Freeddom of Information Act) enough documentation from any of these procurements to convine themselves that the Government Acquistion Agencies and the personnel involved have conducted themselves correctly and objectively. I think you wiill also find that like99% of those people still work for the Governemnt, none are driving expensive automobiles, living on the Beach in Florida, the Bahama's or anywhere else, but where they have always been. Even Congressional Inquiries have been found to be based on bogus BS.
Is this enough, or do I go on...
