While attending the recent SHOT SHOW in Atlanta, I checked out the KMC AR-15 and was reasonably impressed with what I saw but, in the glitz of bright lights and new gadgets, I sort of put it on the back burner. Since then, I have seen nothing. I expected a bigger splash but, I know the marketplace is very tough today and wonder if they are being over shadowed by Bushmaster and others.
What caught my attention was the perceived high level of quality in the firearm itself. It wasn't just a knock off of a generic AR-15 but, a well though out and properly executed design. Combined with the fact it comes from the factory with their RAS (Rail Interface System improved) and a 300 meter backup sight, it seemed to be priced right. I would expect a $300 to $500 difference (street price) between KMC and say a Bushmaster. Is this why they are not seen very often (actually I have not seen another one since).
Any owners and/or users care to comment on this rifle? Is it worth my hard earned money?
Thanks,
Sid
