I've been wanting a KAC SR 15 for a while and I think I want to sell/trade my like new PWS MK116 for it.  Crazy talk?

Not crazy at all. Only hard part will be finding someone that wants to make that trade with you.

Probably list my PWS on the EE

I wouldn't. My PWS is one of the most accurate AR I own and I've own quite a few over the years. It pretty much turned me into a piston convert.

The PWS you have is a great gun but so is the gun you want. Keep the PWS if you can afford it and get the KAC. Generally when a person sells a really good gun it turns out to be a decision that is later regretted.

You may have to put up some cash.  I know the PWS may cost more new, but I feel like they snag people when they first get into black rifles with the high price that seems unwarranted.

SR15 is pricey, but actually a great value if you understand the quality of the components.

You pay more for a PWS because of the R&D they invested into their long stroke piston system. Their barrels are very accurate as well. I gladly paid more for their upper knowing there were equal or possibly better options at lower price. Its really hard for me to get excited over a DI upper these days.

There are more updated features on the SR15 than most people know about.

FULL ambi-lower.  Not an afterthought, either.
2-stage trigger
E3 bolt (rounded lugs for greater strength)
Smaller cam pin hole in the bolt
Dual extractor spring
Intermediate length gas system (in between mid and rifle length)

I still think that there isn't a documented case of the bolt breaking on a non-suppressed version.

I put my PWS on EE and might list it on GB as well.  I actually really like my PWS and have never had anything but great experiences with it (240 rds fired).

Keep the PWS and save for an SR-15

That trade would absolutely be one of the best you ever made.

I can't believe it. I found a member here with a KAC MOD 2 with 1500 rounds fired that is interested in trading for my PWS.  My PWS has only 240 rounds fired so even though I would prefer a KAC with similar use, I can live with the different round counts.  The KAC has been cerakoted coyote which I'm not crazy about. Should I jump on this trade even though it isn't exactly what I was looking for (coyote)? If so should I expect to pay some cash in the deal (how much)?

I would be ALL OVER THAT.  

Should look awesome in Coyote, too.

Absolutely yes. Do it.

Considering round count and original purchase price I think an even trade is fare. You don't really want the cerakote so use that to your advantage.

Doh!! the possible trade fell through. Oh well, maybe I'll scrape up the $$ for a KAC.

If I owned your PWS, I'd trade for an SR-15 in a heartbeat. Not really a fan of piston guns. Don't have anything against them, just prefer DI and they don't get much better than a KAC.

KAC  ....with  match ammo  1moa at its best. my PWS   0.59  .    ANO  was perfect on My PWS on my KAC it was two different colors and rough and dry chalky  looking.   My PWS run so clean I rarely  clean it  and has four different gas setting which works with my can.   When I had my KAC I had to use a different  buffer and spring.    Case Closed  PWS !
