By this point, KAC should have invested in expanding its manufacturing facility.
For real, their QC is already starting to falter so they should just double down and make more
This is all their brand relies on, scarcity.
They did expand their manufacturing capacity dramatically. You need a golf cart just to travel within their warehouses.
People don't understand that KAC is literally built on rapidly responding to unique runs of military contracts for specialized parts and weapons requested by mostly SOF units.
They aren't set up to make parts for clone builders and insta-consumers.
@@jacketfullofmetalpretty much the sig, Jeep (manuals),etc. motto.
You put enough out there that people really want one, but no one can find them unless its price is seriously inflated.
lmao they don't give a fuck about civilians. they make hundreds of millions on military contracts. their "brand" doesn't rely on scarcity. they "rely" on the continuity of said military contracts@@jacketfullofmetal
Kac: we made this cool new gun for a contract, maybe civs will get overflow.
Everyone else: just make more m110’s
Man, the Brits are really scoring with this build.
Yup. It's about bloody time after the SA80 😂🤣
@@NoelWesleywell at least you got it right with the Accuracy International rifles. But yeah that first SA-80 was pretty rough. The Knight’s AR is absolutely amazing though.
@@NoelWesley The sad thing is that the British are going to still use the SA80 for most of its soldiers, and the KS-1 for specialised units.

@@frankcastle9691around $4,500 for the base rifle and another $2,500 for the suppressor
@@nickadkins7765 these things start at like 5-8k depending on what package.
@@frankcastle9691too fucking much
Knights are like “we are the only ones who can price gauge you!! F*ck you guys!”
*gouge
2900 isn't a lot for a rifle. There's a premium for a premium product, but it's not gouged by any stretch of the imagination. They aren't slapping together some Aero OEM parts, painting it with some dumb ass pattern, and selling it to the masses for $2500.
@@orion8981 exactly just look at the recent garland thumb video. He and his Asian friend go into detail what’s the difference between psa and knights. If you ever shoot a suppressed or non suppressed knights rifle you will see the difference in recoil and gas for sure.
FACTS!!

David has been around the industry in some capacity longer than some of the other gun TH-camrs have been alive.
Thanks, Lyle! I appreciate it.
@@phoenixnfa That's probably true, unfortunately. Hey, at least I still look pretty good. ;-) Thanks for the props.
Met him at his store near the KAC factory. It's called Lawmen's. He came up to me and at that point I had no idea who he was. Chatted for a minute before he told me he owned the place. LOL. Cool Dude.
3:18 ah yes, the elusive "ambidextrious" controls
Lmao LWRC has had true ambi and these guys are finally getting to it, and you’re paying absurb money for a KAC
Personally think that in today's market EVERY ar should have that feature
I personally don't even consider a lower if it isn't ambi anymore.
Radian hit the nail on the head with their controls. I've traded off most other ambi lowers I've had for radians at this point.
Still have some LMT for the vibes but Radian did it best. There's 0 reason for everyone NOT to be doing ambi now.
It’s something that isn’t needed but you guys cry a river if it doesn’t have it.
@HWG-wm8ld ya you right... it's not needed, we've made due without it for how long? The thing is, everyone talks about how to improve the AR, and that's literally the only thing it needs. but you go ahead and keep fixing your malfunctions like a tard.
KAC is mainly for the contract market. The commercial market is secondary to them. They really aren't concerned with the commercial market.
Yeah why worry about supplying the citizens, the same citizens who's money pays for their contracts...
@@mortem-tyrannisbecause they benefit from the money stolen from you and I
@@stephen_crumley oh I know it was sarcasm, hard to convey in text
You realize they don't have many at all 556 contracts

The price gouging conversation truly resonated with all of us I think…
"How much is it?" ...(Dr. Evil voice) "One hundred, million, dollars." Lmao 😂😂😂
Barrett and KAC are really America's best in modern small arms. Admittedly they are overhyped at times, but there is substance to their quality. I sort of didn't believe it myself until I actually looked at and bought an SR-15. The details down to the thickness of the chrome lining and the double pinned gas block are just usually skipped over but it really shows their dedication to hard use. Yes the e3 , or whatever is now, bolt is rock solid but it really is them putting actual function overall as the priority, that is noticeable.
Barrett is gone to Australia.
When Apollo crew petered out and then when Shuttle crew petered out, KAC's quality improved logarithmically due to having aerospace ppl come to their plant.
Check out the knights meltdown test on here. Barrel lasted 584 rounds of constant full auto. Geissele lasted 901 rounds.
Uh no. There are many other high echelon manufacturers. Knights is overpriced and underproduced.
For me ‘American’ means ‘for the people’. These rifles are not made for the people, they are made for the government. PSA makes weapons for the people- and they appear to be quite durable too based on recent stress testing.

Thanks, Dave! And, I'll try.
Most interesting interview from the 24 gun glitz
Dude this is the new royal marine commando blaster and I want one so bad I won’t care if I have to pay msrp. Those blokes know what they’re doing
Trey is the man! ;)
Honestly the best part of this video was talking about trying to decrease the grey market.
what a unit!
Trey Knight is a class act.
I'm thorouhly convinced that KAC is the American version of HK. At least HK is actually making cool stuff though.
Hk entered the UK SOF contract right next to KAC, and KAC won. I wonder why that is, given Hk's long-term relationships with UK SOF and the MoD.
@LRRPFco52 not to mention the fact that HK is British owned now, which definitely has better optics to it
Being an HK fan (and owner of many) since the Metal Gear Solid days, you're exactly right. I'm not even hating, I just mean it when I say I have no idea how KAC has stayed in business.
HK is no longer owned by British Aerospace, In 2002 it was sold to a group of private investors from Germany @@iornlint
And actually selling it to American civilians......
Good coverage! I like it .. sub earned
Thank you! I appreciate it.
I'm a British Army veteran. I used the 7.62 SLR at the start of my career as well as the 7.62 LMG (Bren gun) and Sterling submachine gun. I progressed onto the SA80 A1 as well as using HKs and Sig Sauer in Northern Ireland. The KAC KS-1 is a breath of fresh air if the British Army is introducing this rifle. I always said that the MoD missed a trick when it decided to introduce a new service rifle back in the 1980s and instead of going for a proven weapon system (even the AK) they decided to develop something brand new and thus introduced the SA80 with all its problems. I'd love to fire some rounds down the range with this new weapon.
There’s a reason why the SBS started using the AR-15 even before America did and have been using AR’s since then.
Yes, I'll be very happy to see this in the hand's of British Squaddies. Least we can do is give them a quality weapon. And this is a quality weapon. Only the US Socom URG-I AR from Geissele comes close IMHO.
God I want this
I see they haven't improved their cerakoting
Prettied up knowing it’s a tool that will be used and abused. No safe queens
Literally looks like shit, 4+k for a rifle who cannot coat even the trigger guard inside 😂
Looks like they're just taping the holes shut on a fully-assembled gun, hitting it with Brakleen, and spraying it on like a bunch of psychopaths. Not sure on what planet this is considered OK for a $4k gun. It's not even applied correctly and will rub off. It's no better than spray paint. Even spray paint would be better than this crap.
Guys you gotta realize Kac makes these guns for people who use them not consumers who wanna look cool on instagram and put a thousand rounds a year through their gun. Cerakote is their last concern because that shit is getting scratched to hell by those who Kac actually produces for or it’s getting painted over.
The gun is built around hiding from thermal imaging. That cerakote is probably mixed in with plenty of secret sauce.
The commercial version will be available after the next new model will be out. And there will be only two maybe three.
I just want a spare bolt that's not way overpriced on the 2nd hand market because it's never in stock 😂
What's up, David Crane. Nice to meet ya!
Just chillin', and doin' my thing. And, right back atcha'.

Wait, when did Richard Branson get into the rifle game? This is crazy lmao

Pretty smart. Silencers are ridiculous under thermal
I dont know any individual that has ever owned a KAC rifle. Ive never seen one in person. I keep forgetting they are a company.
Hang out with richer people?
@@mathewthatcher6274 I concur with his statement. I have multiple buddies who could easily afford to have everything Knights has available on the commercial market. Neither of them own one single Knights product. They've both and I quote have stated, "I will not buy a product from a company treats it's customers like second class citizens." They have never increased capacity, their QC has struggled mightily lately and are for the most part riding off of their own coattails.
@HedgeMaster26 I've had nothing but good experiences with their customer service.
Your buddies are poors. It's a state of mind, not a dollar amount.
I sold at least 86 SR-25s back to Operators who used them in their first SR-25 buy-back program in 2003.
It was really a nice gesture and unique opportunity for military end-users to get their Sniper Systems back. Those guns had all kinds of mods done to them as well.
@@mathewthatcher6274 id rather hang out with smart people. Apparently, I have.
Trey is such a G.
He's been in the industry since he was a kid helping ship orders back in the 1980s, with Stoner working directly with his dad on the LMG and SR-25.
That safety selector is sexy
God Bless you Trey Knight
How do his balls taste?
Id take this over a SIG any day 👌
Literally the voice of chris Farley .Tommy gun boy
Shut up and take my money.
As long as they keep their 3000ish MSRP, anyways.
Got my attention
im ngl this MIGHT be the new AR grail for me
Surprised he didnt get a DUI in the middle of that
lol
Like my rec 7 gen 2
Going to build some spare parts for the stuff you sold us a few years ago
The only bad part about this weapon is that I don’t have two.
i got a 16" factory sr15 and 11.5 upper on a lmt lower
Great it’ll be out of stock for the next seven years and if you find one, it would be about 7000% above MSRP can’t wait to get one when I’m 50
Bastards need to license classic parts so I can finally complete my M110 build.
I know right I need a damn urx 2
Id love to have a KAC, I do think it's worth the price.
legal in the UK lol

The bolt carrier looks like it’s DLC coated. Is this the successor to the KAC Enhanced Sandcutter Bolt Carrier?
Good question. I don't know. I'll try to find out.
no idea why anyone would be a fanboy of knights.
supply and demand. they don't put rifles out to civilians, so the price is driven way up. people will trash talk other companies, but those companies are unfairly judged, because more than a hyper exclusive group can judge them.
Shut Up And Take My Money!
Is this what the Royal Marines have now got?
They have the c8 carbine rn
Knights probably had the most innovative stuff at the show for rifles.
LMT has significantly more advancements. its not even funny they lapped them 2 times now.
What is the optic
Vortex 1-10 contract for the UK MOD. Shorter than the commercial version.
Reduce the forward assist.

the supressor looks weird. WOuld rather a slightly longer and thinner one
How much is the cheapest KA AR? I’ve never came across one in the gun stores in my small town in TN
About 2600
n u prolly never will
The cost isn't an issue it's availability. They don't really make weapons for civilians. It's just overflow form contracts. Some guys have been waiting for repair kits and have had rifles on order for over 2 years. The limited availability hyper inflates the cost on the used market. Not unlike beanie babies back in the day...
Bought my first KAC a year ago. It wouldn’t eject spent cases. Sent it back and it worked fine afterwards. Thought about a muzzle device change but didn’t want to wait 80 years for a tool that cost 700.00.
Sold it last week. Not impressed.
Lolwut
You can replace the muzzle device with random objects in your house. I took mine off with a butter knife and a pot of water.
Lol are you stupid? KAC muzzle devices require zero special tools and install no different than any other manufacturer's muzzle devices on the market.
@@orion8981 he didn’t deserve it! “Spent cases” failure to eject it could have just needed to be broken in or if you’re not using milspec ammo. That gun was built for use with true mil spec ammunition to cycle properly especially when brand new. Mine did this the first 10-15 rounds after that it ran just fine. I ran 500 rounds that day. My 11.5 cqb upper on a LMT lower had no issues out the box.
@@maj.kamper9314 $5 says he tried to run steel case, got salty with customer service, and they bored out the gas port to oblivion.
I'm still stuck on somebody having $3k for a rifle and absolutely no idea how to remove a muzzle device.
@@orion8981 I was thinking the same thing. KAC is a combat rifle and it isn't made to run on the cheapest steel cased Russian BS Ammo you can buy. The main reason I buy quality guns is because the low end makers do just that. They bore out the gas port to handle everything so that they don't have to listen to some cheap bastard whine like a prison Be-Haatch. Meanwhile if you try to shoot decent ammo through one of their guns, your spent casing goes down range with the bullet. That's great if your surrounded and resorting to spray and pray. Anyway, imagine spending 2.6K on a rifle and buying steel cased ammo. WTH?
Looks like playing catch up in the technology department with their upgrades. Most of what he mentioned has already been developed by others. As for the ambidextrous controls, looks like everyone is copying the OG “LWRC”, since it’s the most proven design. What’s the old saying, “Imitation is the best form of flattery “. The exceptions being ADM/Griffin and Radians designs.
But is everyone else getting Sof contracts lol
pretty much a premium AR plus a $10,000 KAC tax
They have the patent on dimpled barrels?
I know right?
no, they're also not as effective as regular fluting
Easy to see why British tier 2 SO and commando brigades have gone for this kit.
SIG MCX SPEAR for SAS/SBS.
So, they're still making products out of unobtainium.
they're not for you. they're making all their money off of the military.
KAC, silencer co and every suppressor company should copy the surefire warden idea. A lot of states don’t allow suppressor and would buy the shit out of a “blast shield”. Put the same technology that your suppressors use besides the baffles. A non stop market.
LMT>KAC
Seconded. At least LMT has increased capacity as demand has increased. Custom Service is awesome too.
The companies are super close. They even share some products.
I mean you can actually find LMTs. I plan to build a specwar here soon.
@@DMH707well? We’re waiting
I also agree on the LMT side.
Doesn’t have anything to justify the price. They still break sometimes just like any other AR. At least have an integrated gas key or something
I don’t like the fact that I like KAC so much. 😂
sharps bolt check it out , better design
Does this make 16" pin & welded?
lmao
Golf balling a barrel has been done long before Knights was a company. They have no patent for it.

Still way more civilian friendly than hk
this is not true. You don't know why HK can't send guns here. look into Hurricane butterfly and their hk243s
it's cool they went with 13.7. suuuuuuper underrated barrel length.
Whats so magical about 13.7 bbl’s? You have to find a really long flash hider to PW in order to make 16” or its an SBR. And registering a 13.7 SBR is about as meaningful as tits on a bull.

No hate here, but KAC is just the American HK, but worse. At least HK guns are actually on the market
Partially true but at least the KAC guns that do make it to market are the same materials and theoretically specs as their contract ones. I could be wrong but HK’s have a different barrel material on ones sold to civilians don’t they?
@@SamplesTByes. The commercial market barrels are different. It's like someone put Mercedes badges on a KIA
@@SamplesTByes, its due to german government laws tho unfortunately
Pistols and their MR ARs. In this comparison we might as well ignore the pistols since KAC doesn't make pistols. HK long guns made for the civilian market are completely different internally from what they produce for military contracts. Ya sure, HK guns are actually on the market, but you're aren't getting a product with the same R&D behind what they give militaries.
@@SamplesTB the barrels are uncoated. that's literally the only difference. that also allows mr762s to pull half minute groups with ease.
