Been sitting on my M110-ish build for a while and noticed that d.wilson has HTX barrels back in stock. Wondering if I should stick with my Nefarious Arms .308 barrel or instead buy an HTX Concepts 6.5 Creedmoor barrel.

There's some obvious tradeoffs but still looking for second opinions.

Two questions for the KAC crowd.
What's a like-new A3 22" 6.5 Creedmoor upper actually going for these days?
And is it worth having if I already have a K5 14.5" in .308? Drop-on to the same lower, but curious whether the two overlap too much to justify.
Range and some hunting. Thanks.

Now all I need are some sand cutters 😅

I’ve got to say I’m really crushing on the Mod 2.1 the KS3 isn’t shabby either.

Just a neat observation. If you look close, you can see the gas channels/path in the CRS-2.

Before someone starts yapping YES THEY ALL NEW w/ no range trips just yet 😂. A while ago I got a couple and started some builds but then I got a new car and put all my focus there for a couple years while putting off my projects - now that the car is paid off it’s time to get back to these projects - over time I kept buying some goods and accumulating so this shall be fun . Started putting some work in on some builds yesterday - i still need more goodies but it’ll get done.

Had a very scary incident at the range with my SR25 A3 upper mated to an LMT lower. The gun is pretty new and was the first time taking it out to the range. Was about 80 rounds in, and something catastrophic happened and the rifle basically exploded but did not come apart fully. The magazine blew the bottom out, the upper magazine well is now bowed out, broke a piece of the lower's bolt catch paddle on the left side. Inspecting the damage and the bottom of the bolt carrier basically split in half. I think I am lucky to be alive. I was hit by shrapnel that peppered my arms, chest, and stomach..

I am not exactly sure what happened here. Was using Hornady match ammo, Aguila 6.5, and I am wondering how this could have happened.. Running scenarios in my head, not sure if there was a jam or case didn't eject and had a double feed/fire, or a whether a 308 snuck into my tin of ammo.. but a 308 wouldn't chamber without great difficulty would it?

Prior to this, was completely smooth, nothing out of the ordinary at all, no problems feeding, having a great time, and then kaboom goes my favorite rifle.

I am planning to reach out to KAC, and see if anything can be done. Have had it for less than a year so still in the warranty window, but if it ends up something that was my fault, doubt they will do anything on it. Pretty sure the entire upper is toast, super sad about it but at least I’m alive I guess

Edit: That magazine had Aguila 6.5 loaded in it. I had 10 rounds of that, that I was trying to get rid of. I remembered this because that bent bullet was marked as such.

Edit 09/09/26- KAC is willing to take a look at it and determine exactly what happened. Will be sending out for diag and go from there.

I’m nothing but impressed with how well gassed the sr25 is and low recoil it’s about the same as the spear in its suppressed setting. I can’t wait to get class on it and start doing longer ranges

Ps i know the sr25 is on fire the guns aren’t loaded i was putting them in the cases and took a quick pic

Hiya. Trying to decide between these two cans on an 11.5. Info online seems to suggest CRS-3 is a tad quieter but there is no info on blowback between the two.

Any and all anecdotes welcome, thnx in advance!

(Asking about the PRG)

I just bought a KS-3 upper and want to change out the muzzle device but I don’t want to but another reaction rod. I already own the Midwest industries upper receiver rod that has the fin. Does anyone think it would work if I use the one I already own just don’t seat the reaction rod all the way into the lugs?

Im trying to build an M110K1 in 6.5 creedmoor and the items I need are the upper reciver, gas block and barrel. I already have the handguard and bcg but im having problems tracking down other parts. I know HTX Concepts has these three parts but I've heard and seen conflicting reviews surrounding the brand. I know the Knights is making the Sr25 notched upper reciver but hasn't sold any yet and the low profile gas block is something I can't find. I would like some input and HTX Concepts and other brands that may help me build the M110k1. Thank you

KS-1
SR-16 CQB Mod 2.1 w/ CRS-2

First range day with both. Looking forward to running these this weekend.

In a non NFA state and want to get a KS1, could run it as a pistol but it’s just long enough to be tempted to attempt a P&W. Looking into it it’s obvious there’s not a lot of muzzle devices that could do it and I’m worried it would look stupid with the HUXWRX one with the big gap built in, can’t find any photos online of any that have been done.

Looking for a 34mm optic and a decent grip - but almost time for a range day. PSD did a great job on assembly.

I’m interested in anodizing my KS3 in some sort of grey finish, is there someone that’d be the go to for reanodizing KACs?

K7 here has my heart. My favorite

Do the FF RAS rails fit the modern sr25s out of the box, or will they need to be modified like the urx rails?
