Agree. I built and ran a rifle with mid length gas and Vltor A5 beside My wife’s with a standard carbine buffer and rifle length gas. That was an easy deciding factor how I would set my guns up from then on. Flatter shooting and less snap in the recoil impulse. If I played with springs and weights in the carbine buffers I might could match or best it, but why when it’s so easy to just use it now.
To bad. I have two from them that are a few years old, but that seems to be the opinion on them more now.
How is it? Been looking at trying a Faxon, have ballistic advantage. Want to try something else.
77gr SMK’s 24.0-24.4 gr TAC in both win & LC brass. You should have a solid node in there. Not as temp stable as xbr 8208 but literally flows like water dumped from a powder measure & cheap.
@TheHorta and any other KAC owners - does anyone have a pic of their SR15 with the rail pulled off?
@MSTN - any experience with the Colt SOCOM profile barrels? What would you choose between Criterion CORE vs Noveske N4 vs Colt SOCOM for someone on a somewhat tight budget building a good shooting general/hard use carbine to train with from 0 out to ~500-600 with some hogs and coyotes possibly on the menu? Best low-ish cost rail option? I love the look of the URX 3.1 but they're pretty spendy and not all of us have KAC baller money like @TheHorta and @TheGerman ..
But I wish I did! KAC is so legit man

Bunch up some paper towels and scrub it down, works well enough. That and some dry fire work it all out, maybe on your skin, but it works out.
Can't use the Razor with NVGs. Would have to add a dot anyway. That was a non-E Razor so the roughly 27oz up top plus scope mount was unbalancing the rifle pretty badly. Not to mention I've had 3 Razors and can't get over the meh reticule options. Tried the MRAD one in a PSTII 1-6 and didn't like that either.
If you’re still interested in a LVPO take a look at the Primary Arms Plx 1-8 c version. It’s less than 17 onces. I will say the biggest problem with the Plx is that it is not in stock that often and you have to back order it if you want one.
I think it probably comes down to cost. I run a red dot at the 12 o'clock position so I don't need it to be day light bright. Also, I went with the Griffin Mil reticle and not the BDC.
I've had a few PA optics and I do think they make good stuff for the price. Last optic I had was their GLx 1-6 but I ended up returning it due to the weird ass eyebox and the image would get fucky if your eye wasn't aligned perfectly.
I think either you got a lemon or I just got lucky. The eye box in my glx 1-6 is very forgiving even in 6x. Although it is the most expensive scope I've ever owned so I may not have the perspective of what a razor looks like.
I found it to be super jank. Very hard to get behind compared to even the PA SLx optics I tried in the past. I've had Razors, PLx 1-8, PST IIs, SLxs, Leupold Patrols etc.
Just a heads up on the EXPS2
Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, due to a long story I never was able to serve outside of BMT (thanks for nothing surgeon), so I don't get a discount. I do want an EXPS3 model which EuroOptic seems to have the best deals on at this time.
For sure. I did see someone mention they give discounts if you give them a call and let them know you're a member here so I'm considering chatting them up about one of the demo EXPS3s they have in stock and seeing if they will drop the price a bit more for me lol
I have purchased demo stuff from them and it always comes as BNIB. I think they may do that to get around MAP pricing.
Their prices always seem to beat everyone else lately. Maybe it's just me but I usually find the best price through them.
Utg super duty with Picatinny qd mount. Just a cheap bipod I keep in my hunting bag.
