Are there any sound comparisons out there of KS-1 + MCQ versus KS-3 + CRS?

Not that I'm aware, but I am 100% sure the CRS3/KS3 is quieter than a KS-1/MCQ, because the MCQ2 on a 16" barrel at TBAC sound summit was upper 140's.

Are there any dealers that have a KS-1 in stock at msrp? I think I signed up for email notifications at every dealer that would allow it. Never got a single notification. I still can’t find one for sale for msrp at any dealer.

Good luck with that one. You almost have to know somebody.

What’s the point of commercial sales at all if it’s just fuck fuck games?

I think KS1 is somewhat limited. Right now it seems the SR-25 series are dropping. I imagine they do everything in a sprint run format.

I’ve been trying for about a year since they first started ‘shipping to dealers’. Actually, before that.

Join the club.  I've recently seen a dealer I've spent tens of thousands with over the years on KAC stuff have something I'm on a waitlust for up on gunbroker.

They only started shipping these around like March or April of this year.... Unless you're in an impending ban state, have some patience. It'll all work out :)
ETA: You have a "Military" tag on here. They take factory-direct orders for active or retired MIL/LEO.

Doesn’t the KAC bolt catch lever look a lot like LMT? Who’s making these? They look MIM

I was on a 'pre-order' list beginning in November of last year with one dealer in particular. That dealer indicated that some of those on the pre-order list would begin to receive their rifles in December per KAC. I still have the email. That certainly seems to be the case with what popped up on social media, forums and auction sites. That is just one dealer.

I am not active duty and I am not a retired MIL, just veteran.

We make them in-house.
They are machined from E8620, heat treated, stress relieved, carburized, oil quenched, tempered, shot peened, and phosphated.

This is a big reason I like KAC. Literally other than the optic, all items are made in house, or to spec. Still some aspects "part gun", technically, but I feel a lot more like I'm buying a Porsche instead of a kit car.
