It took me the better part of half an hour to get them to seat.

I clamped the barrel in leather and used a wood block and tapped the back of the receiver to seat it.

I had to really heat mine up. First attempt went the same as yours.   Got about half way then that bitch was *stuck*.

I used a carry handle mounted at the back half of the upper's pic rail to hold the upper.  Torch rotated around the front of the upper for about 3-4 minutes, maybe a little longer.  Heated it evenly, and it went right on with no resistance.  30 seconds later it cooled enough that barrel was absolutely locked in place.  

It was tighter than my SOLGW reduced ID upper on a CLE barrel with an oversized extension.

The carry handle is a great idea. I’ll give that a go and do heat longer.

Finally got the coiled spring pin from KAC and my buddy hooked it up with a brand new *blano* 99051!!

LB #40 is now shootable











I'm thinking of getting the ZC 420 T3 for it but 20x might be a little overkill for a 16" chrome lined 7.62..

5 years ago, today, at my old home, my SR-25 Lunchbox project began.

I'd received the 1st of 3 shipments.

I composed it with my only other Vero Beach KAC rifle, which was a partially accurate facsimile of the Christmas Cheer v1 rifle.

Attached File


Today, both of them are pictured.

Attached File


2 sandcutter carriers.
SOPMOD stocks
The grips have swapped.
One is factory dimpled, the other is Marvin dimpled.
They both have scalloped selectors.
I am on the hunt for a dimpled castle nut, because that would look perfect on the Lunchbox.

I am very fortunate to have been a part of this endeavor, and KAC and III are some of the finest people in this industry.  Being able to add this under stewardship is quite a blessing.

I've seen that LB logo engraved carrier and know who has it. It looks like someone lasered it and not officially from KAC as part of the LB.

Pretty sure it was teased in the FB LunchBox Group by III. But it would be pretty cool if someone did that like they did with ejection port covers on Cheer 1.0.

I received the Lunchbox Barrel Set and unfortunately it looks like UPS played a bit of hockey with the bolt carrier. What would be the easiest way to go about getting this repaired? Best to send email to [email protected]?

I can't recall the direction off the top of my head, but it was easy to figure out which side of the taper pin was the "skinny" side.  

Try from one side, then the other.  It will be very obvious.  Both of the builds went in a fairly good way with no pressure.  I'm 95% sure they go in from the ejection port side.  Scrolling through all the posted photos, it looks like that is correct.

Scrolling up, every picture showing the block shows a touch of finish wear on the ejection port side indicating that's where we all went full retard on them

When one of my USMC Infantry seniors retired and moved to a place where he can't have firearms a few years back he asked me to give his Lunch Box a home since he wanted it to stay within the USMC Grunt family.

Today he delivered the last batch of parts and I am extremely grateful and honored to be its caretaker !!!

One is built and will be shot. The other will stays as parts just like how KAC delivered it.

Tom,

I've already paid, received, assembled and rattle-canned my Lunchbox rifle.  But if you have spare parts laying around, I'll pay for more!!!

Also, a HUGE thank you to you, III and everyone at Knights that made this happen.  It's absolutely epic!

My shooters are LMTs.  My plan for my Lunchbox was to give it to one of my nephews in the future, and my nearly complete Christmas Cheer 1.0 gun to the other.

If either of them want to shoot them, that'll be up to them.
