Been a great rifle and one I thought I’d take to the grave, 1 of 8 ever made. But honestly I’m flipping coins on letting it go. He’s some SUNDAY Knights awesomeness!

I’ll give you a custom made AR15. It has the best quality parts sourced from the time honored Palmetto State armory, Mil-Spec (that’s what the marines used to kill Bin Laden) trigger and a forged sighting system that doubles as a convenient carrying handle.
 
Man Mban2, that is really tempting!!!! Lol.

honestly it’s a fantastic rifle, well within sub MOA but it just sits. The cool factor tops anything else I own. I have 320 rounds through it. I’m local to KAC and they swapped the break to a socom for my surefire cans. I never thought I would even consider selling but it sits at the front of my safe and collects dust. I have 3 ACC’s, two APC’s and a APR so I have plenty others to shoot.

That is a really tough question. Within 200 it’s almost a coin toss. The ACC’s open up a little more when they heat up but I have one ACC that has a .375 factory test target. The APC is a great compromise as just a little chunkier than the ACC but great groups. I’ve only had any of them out to 800 and the APR running a CRS can is probably hands down the most accurate. Just a pig to haul around. I will say my ACC’s get used the most though as most of my shooting is within 2-300.
 
That’s a real nice rig, @jerhelo. Agree with you with respect to the ACC. Mine is damn near automatic out to 600 with my 175smk loads and FGMM using the CMR-W reticle in the Mk6 1-6 it wears. Groups will open a tad when it’s real hot but it’s not material IMO.

I have a 2019 Shot Show limited edition factory FDE version.

You ever ask Knights to dimple either of your APCs’ barrels?

I’ve been contemplating an SR25 vs LMT dealio lately. Admit I’m a KAC fan boy. Have an SR15.
EC was the non dimpled version of the ECC correct?
 
I have a Taupe SR15 Mod 0. Even with newer SR15's and rifles, its still my go to workhorse.

Correct. 1:11 rh twist, cut rifled 5r chrome moly barrel.

Non dimpled non chrome lined version of the EMC. I’d put this rifle against anything I have ever shot. The more I am describing it the more I think why get rid of it. Lol.

Yes but this one is 1 of 8 ever made!

I have a few lmt MWS as well. I will not sit here and claim one is better or worse than the other. I love them both. But I can say with a straight face the SR25 platform is in my opinion the most refined and my favorite platform. I have in total 8.
 
I know - read your OP. I’d keep it if I were you unless you need/want the cash for something urgent.
I know. I really don’t need the money but it breaks my heart that it just sits. I’m still on the fence. Either way it makes for good Sunday gun porn.

You can never have too much Knights Armament.

Let it sit, who cares. It will only appreciate in value anyway. If I had the money, I’d buy it from you and it would prob just sit as well. Just in a different safe...I shoot my Mk11 and ACC way more than any of my other rifles.
 
That’s not really an accurate spec sheet as mine has the sand cutter carrier but single plunger bolt. This is a pretty rare rifle, I know of one other guy that has one, where the other 6 are who knows. He went with MAMS, I went surefire, installed at knights, so I could run my RC2 FDE can. There are rumors as to how they came about and why so few, I’m not a historian or collector so I can’t attest, but either way the more I discuss it, the more it makes me want to keep it. Lol. The cool factor tops anything else I own but my go to is generally an ACC, hopefully soon to be a 14.5” ACC in 6.5 but we will see. I’m still flipping coins, I just hate for it to sit. I had thought about converting to a M110, but why convert something so rare into something I can convert something less rare into.
 
Just name the price and stop screwing around. :ROFLMAO:
Since its only a single plunger I'll start with tree fitty.

What are the rumors about when the KAC 6.5 guns will be released ?
I was fortunate to shoot one at PRE last year. Ringing steel at 810 with each shot. Very cool.

The 22" 6.5CM uppers were already released earlier this year. There are multiple reviews in this very subforum. The 14.5" uppers were slated to be released late this year, but that was pre-covid, and if I were a betting man, I'd bet that we won't see them on the commercial market till 2021.
 
You will know when the 14.5" 6.5 is out when I post mine up lol.

Here’s a pic of my wife shooting the 6.5 SR25. I had been thinking we shot a 14.5”, however the rail
makes it look like a 16”. I had the discussion with the rep that I thought 14.5” 6.5 was useless. He laughed and said that I had to think about what the gun would actually be used for, that they wanted a platform that would reach out to 1000, not necessarily further. Makes sense.
Shooting this was also the first time I’d been introduced to the Berger 140 hybrid ammo. Love the stuff.

Just picked up a S&B 1-8, a 14.5” 6.5 might be the holy grail for me. Hmmmm
Who’s the KAC dealer of choices these days? I used to deal with Casey Seng when he was with Lawmen’s

Word on the street is that the 120's and 130's are the ticket in the 14.5".

I’m local to lawmens and knights. Lawmens is shut down, NS Defense is who I have been bothering waiting for one.

I remember the days when I would call up Marc at Lawmens and place my order in a few minutes over the phone, the good old days.

Agreed. I frequented that shop often. It was literally on the second floor of the vero KAC factory on Oslo road. Hopefully soon the knights store will be open here in titusville.
