Nothing exactly wrong with a Noveske.I like their products and just bought another Noveske upper earlier this month. I did say Noveske makes a good barrel.however the rest of the parts they use are nothing special, and in the case of the BCG is below the standard of say a BCM or Colt BCG. I have around 4k rounds through my SR in the last 4 months.Ĭomparing the two going down the list the KAC has better features, and you get more for the money. Im just giving my advice based off owning the guns in question, and I do shoot them quite a bit. The KAC barrel profile is a cross between pencil and. The "lite" barrels have a proprietary profile like an improved USGI. Noveske SS barrels are medium contour.750 from the gas block shelf forward, and medium contour under the handguards. Ive shot my SR15 quite a bit without the TP. This includes BCM, LaRue, Noveske, and the SR15. Ive owned, and do own a few midlengths, and the KAC shoots the smoothest.

KAC midlength is less than inch longer how much difference in recoil impulse does this account for? Could it be that your KAC shoots "easier" than your Noveske because you have TT (with $435 price tag) on it? OP mentioned he is considering midlength Noveske. What's the difference between KAC and Noveske bbl profiles, as in actual measured difference? My MSTN upper has SS Noveskle bbl that I think 0.625 dia, it swings like a broomstick. Not greatly so but theres a lot of nice features the Noveske does not have, and would in fact be the more expensive gun. Other than the barrel being about equal in terms of quality I think everything else on the KAC is better as outlined above. Overall they are both good, and Noveske makes a great barrel. KAC lower is ambidextrous so you have a mag release on the L side, and a bolt release on the R side.

The troy is very wide at the rear which for me interfers a bit with getting a good grasp on the CH.īarrel on the KAC is accurate, and the slimmer profile makes for a great balance of weight as well as pointability. I also like the KAC rear BUIS more than the Troy unit Noveske includes. I have a Triple Tap on mine, and its just about like shooting a light 22LR. KAC uses a slightly longer gas system, and the recoil is very tame.

KAC comes with a 2 stage trigger which is very nice, and the Noveske is an upgrade to get the 2 stage which costs more $$$. I think the URX rail is superior to what Noveske uses, and the integrated front BUIS is friggin cool. I think thats a pretty fair, and safe "warranty". Yes the bolt is special to the KAC gun.however KAC will replace it if it breaks under 20k rounds as long as you can document your round count. I own both, and I think KAC is the better gun and the better value. Make your pick of a position, and you'll find people on both sides of it. The opponents usually bring out issues of interchangeability with other ARs, and some feel they would want a spare bolt (KACs costs $375) regardless of what KAC claims. They also make a point about increased confidence that bolt won't fail in critical times. KAC proponents claim 80,000 rounds life (or 50K, I don't remember) and make a point of cost-effectiveness with such life expectancy.

expected bolt life, but it can be spun either way. Usually discussions of this topic revolve around proprietary bolt and a cost of its replacement vs. Both are excellent, both offer lightweight barrels etc. KAC bolt is proprietary, requires special barrel extension, and is not compatible with "standard" ARs.Īs far as your main question is concerned, there is really no answer to it. I can't find a lot of information on that. Would like to know if the E3 multi-lug bolt design is proprietary to KAC barrels or if it is compatible with any other AR barrel extension.
