Keep     It     Simple     Stupid...
Basicaly, it's a Carbine with the least amount of foofoo on it. Strictly a functional weapon with no extranious toys mounted.

Woohoo! I worked mounted and toys into the same sentence!

Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Not to be insulting, that's just the acronym.

The more stuff you tack on to your AR's, the more likely you are to build/buy a KISS rifle.

Yep. Pretty much this. Iron sights, standard barrel shroud, standard stock.

I still consider it KISS if it has a sling on it.

Anything past that, nope.

+ 1  I'm in the finishing stages of completing 3 KISS builds. My first two were tricked out, now I long for the simplicity of the KISS rifle.

J&T 14.5" with perm pinned phantom a2 upper. It don't get too much more KISS.

Can't a KISS have a light?  Would that be "Quasi-KISS"?

I got a Surefire M600C Scout Light on mine mounted to a MI FSB rail...as KISS as it gets for the dark so the gun can run 24/7 still.

It is an IDF sling.  I can't remember where I got it.  I love it.
