Considering this for my ARPK build once I can get my hands on an FRT 👀

Titaintium@reddit

Must have missed the pencil barrel part

[-]

--_--_---_@reddit

what is the tactical advantage of a longass flash hider and a rail that doesnt entirely cover up the gas block?

[-]

DorkWadEater69@reddit

Tactical? None.

KAK dumping a bunch of spare parts that don't look like they were really made to go together? Most advantageous- for them.

[-]

So I’ve owned a lot of guns, but admittedly I don’t know why people want the gas block covered. Is it for mud/combat reasons? I’m obviously just a range shooter, so it’s convenient to be able to adjust it.

[-]

OrtnerSkor@reddit

Think it's for protection from damage.

[-]

arethius@reddit

Because my KAK has to be the longest

With a pencil barrel?

[-]

roostersnuffed@reddit

Yeah... I'd rather go with this 24" SS bull barrel for that role.

ResidentNeutral@reddit

hey now, don't interrupt the fearmongering.

Also don't ask KAK why their M203 blank data is wrong.

[-]

Old_MI_Runner@reddit

I am not sure how much flash there may be on a 20" barrel but with longer flash hider there may be even less flash. The shorter rail helps keep it light weight as does the pencil profile barrel. Weight listed for 20" is 3 lb 7 ounce while their sold out 14.5" WWIII upper weighs 3 lb 2 ounces. They offer their AGB as an option so I wonder if the short rail would also adjusting the gas easier.

toxic_adventure@reddit

Throw on a can and an adjustable gas block and you got a logn range quiet Boi that gonna shell shock the shit out of some plates.

[-]

Old_MI_Runner@reddit

I don't have a suppressor yet but have heard that a suppressor on a pencil profile barrel is not the ideal.

[-]

Pepizaur@reddit

Uhhhh.... If I put on on one of those wooden rifle lowers and slap a bunch on those $50 wood rail covers on it sort of looks like a ln m1a1?

[-]

Atomic_ad@reddit

If the bullet doesn't get them, you can poke them in the eye.

How dare you disparage the gun that won one (future) world war!?

Looks good with a drum mag

Hipoop69@reddit

Longer boi?

[-]

SweatyHC@reddit

No thanks, I’ll stick to my URG and my 18” AR10

[-]

Posterseeker@reddit

Well. We will see how this goes. Looking forward to trying one out

[-]

Disposable-01@reddit

Story time: I ordered one of these when they were first listed (I was going to order the 14.5 pinned and welded WWIII and saw this had been added so bought both on a whim). After I ordered I was rereading the component descriptions and noticed the barrel had rifle ramps while the upper receiver had M4 ramps. I asked KAK about it and they ended up pulling the entire production until they could redo them with new matching receivers. I thought that was a pretty good response considering this is one of their budget uppers. Looking forward to getting my replacement long boy.

[-]

StylesBitchley@reddit

this seems like a parts bin frankenupper

[-]

Disposable-01@reddit

I think that’s why they use the WWIII moniker.

[-]

bcmGlk@reddit

Bad ass upper. 20” barrels rule. I have two 20” CL criterion core uppers built like this with BCM mcmr rails. I like 13” rails and 20” rifle length barrels. Half of the gas block sticking out is a vibe in and of itself

[-]

cddixon108@reddit

Damn this is tempting. Anyone have experience these? Are they pretty accurate?

[-]

No-Tangerine7635@reddit

I've never shot this barrel but I built an spr with a 18in ballistic advantage performance barrel and the best 5 shot group size I was able to get was 1.5in moa with aac 77gr smk ammo @ 2700fps.

I did push some 55gr hand loads to 3300fps using 28.3gr ramshot tax and got 2.2 moa. So with a 20in barrel you could push them even faster.

For the price it isn't bad but you could build your own with for the same with the parts you choose or go a little more expensive and get a faxon match barrel.

[-]

GoingToSAsoon@reddit

I don't have the 20 inch barrel, but I got a 16" complete upper from KAK. It's more accurate than I am and it's solidly built. No complaints.

[-]

fuck_llama@reddit

Idk but if you’re going to have a 20” barrel it might as well be in .308

[-]

Master-Grocery-3006@reddit

(5.56 was intended for 20" barrels)

[-]

fuck_llama@reddit

Nobody’s rocking 20” barrel M16’s these days, that was 20 years ago. Downvote me all you want but it’s true.

[-]

Master-Grocery-3006@reddit

I'm not, because small house life. But... they are (turns to the M16 clone populus/the silent majority) Rattle 'em, bois!

[-]

fuck_llama@reddit

I love a 20” M16 but this ain’t it

[-]

[-]

TryMyBacon@reddit

Don't agree 20" 5.56 slaps

[-]

fuck_llama@reddit

Not as hard as .308 Mr Downvote

[-]

awesome_jackob123@reddit

Someone talk me out of it. I romanticized the idea of a long barreled upper to build an imitation M27 type rifle for the boys and I to use in the event of the big igloo.

[-]

Old_MI_Runner@reddit

Wait until 9/19/25 and save $100 on barrels from White Oak Armament's Talk Like a Pirate one day sale. I ordered a 20" SPR barrel for $210. As pointed out in other reply this KAK has a GOVT pencil profile barrel.

[-]

RescueRxnger@reddit

What day is talk like a pirate?

[-]

WMjoe11@reddit

This has a pencil barrel profile, wont sustain under a high amount of fire. Look into Red Right Hand uppers for an M27 IAR type build

[-]

awesome_jackob123@reddit

I love you but my wallet does not

[-]

Revolt2992@reddit

Yeah, my WW3 rifle is a Colt AR15A4 and a Bulgarian AK74. And my Mossberg 590

Hard to loot 5.45 ammo unless Russia invades 🤔💭

Who is inviting Russia?

The real WWIII winner is potable water and dried grains/legumes.

[-]

bigtrucksowhat@reddit

corn, whiskey and water

AccomplishedUser@reddit

The real WWII winner is the earth when we make it unlivable for ourselves as a side effect of the wars 🤷‍♂️ can't wait for this election to be over so we can get back to panicking about imminent wars...

[-]

Vijaywada@reddit

Bulgarian ak74 anyday.

Any chance in hell the 18” WWIII will be back in stock?

[-]

cddixon108@reddit

Yeah i was wondering the same thing.

[-]
