How much would you pay for a Kriss Vector?

[SilentStalkr]

I have been wanting one of these for a long time and really want an SBR version with a suppressor. The problem is I am not sure how much longer I will be able to obtain one of these things legally. I figured if I bought everything today and Put in the paperwork that it would be 6 months to 1 year before I got either the gun or the suppressor. So that got me thinking, I could always get the long barrel version and have it cut down later on which would allow me to to ahead and get the rifle today or I could go ahead and get the pistol which I believe is the same as the rifle except it does not have a folding stock and only have to worry about the paperwork when I add the stock. Which would you do and why? My local dealer has 10 of these for $2695 which I think is a little high. I told him I could get these all day long for around $1800 online and he said he would be willing to deal but I don't know how much he would be willing to deal. Does anyone think that is high? And yes before anyone tells me anything I realize this is pretty much ineffective past 100 yards in which case people think its a crazy buy but it's for fun. Nor was the gun intended for long range purposes.

$7000 for that seems ridiculously high to me! I mean I may be wrong but I can get one of these for $1800, then $750 for the suppressor, and probably $400 for an eotech. All of that is less than $3000 buying it my way. So, yeah $7000 seems insanely high to me.

I think I am missing something - where did the $7000 figure come from? Your OP says $2695.

Would never buy one. Worked at a place that had a full auto rental and sold several semiauto to customers. Full auto never ran right and the problems we had with the semiauto KRISS CS was nonexistent.

That $7000 figure came from another member posting a link to one that was for sale. It was a complete package with the SBR Kriss, a suppressor, an armorers manual, a red dot, and 4 mags. That post has since been removed which I find weird. Anyways $7000 on that one he linked to seemed really expensive to me.

As far as the full auto thing goes I know someone that has shot 1000s of rounds through one with no problem. Now I do know their earlier models had some issues but that has supposedly been worked out. And then you mention yourself that the semi auto problems are nonexistent. I of course will not be able to buy a full auto version anyways so that point is out. We are talking about a semi auto SBR version.

I was at a local gun show two weekends ago and there was a table that had the carbine version with one magazine for $2900.

It is an interesting piece of hardware, but I could never do take the plunge... Unless money wasn't an option, in which case, my contribution to this thread would be even less than it is now...

Yeah I am not sure how good they are but I had always wanted one.

Skog was talking about Kriss Customer Service (CS) for the semi-auto being nonexistent, not problems. Cool looking gun, totally pointless in semi-auto. I wouldn't want to pay more than 2400 for one, but with the gun market right now I am not sure you're going to find a new one for much less than what your local shop is selling it for.

I too have heard these had issues, however a newer version is supposed to be released soon to remedy those issues. I would rather get a carbine kit for a glock and go that route.

Look at collector firearms in Texas. They had a few and most is still at normal prices

Re: How much would you pay for a Kriss Vector?

Ah, my bad Skog. I misread your post. Maybe I should do some more research before dropping that kind of money on one. I already have 2 problem ARs I certainly do not need another gun with a problem.

I posted the link and after posting it saw about 3 posts later a member being admonished for posting a link to a sale on another site. Was hoping I'd managed to delete it before it had been read. The site was VaGunTrader.

I had the carbine version, paid $1600 + tax for it at a local gun show. Its kind of a niche weapon. They are not accurate past 50 yards. I know they are suppose to be a close quarters weapon, but to me it made more sense to get a sbr ar for what youre paying. Mine never had any f2f. And I have fired the full auto version.

After running one I'd pass on purchasing one.

Kriss support was bad at best. There were lots of problems. Long repair times, not answering phones, not returning messages for status check. I will say the only good from their CS dept was they always paid shipping which is not the norm when sending a firearm back for repair.

Re: How much would you pay for a Kriss Vector?

Ok, thanks guys. Can you think of any other weapon of this type that might be good. I am already building a SBR AR and have several others. I am looking for something different, but I want something fairly accurate and reliable! Maybe an FS2000 or P90?

Re: How much would you pay for a Kriss Vector?

I know where there's one at a LGS for $1500. It's the SBR version and I believe it is brand new. Give me a shout if you're in VA and want to know where.

I personally wouldn't buy one though, to me there's better things to spend the $$ on.

I have heard that it can not extract a live round. Is this true?

Thanks, but I am nowhere near VA. And by all means please share your opinion on how money could be better spent. I am open for suggestions.

How about a Tavor? I am just not looking for another AR.

Bought my Kriss SBR for $1999, and my YHM Suppressor for $510. So total package is $2509, before tax stamps.
