I don’t see a motive for KAC to do this. In fact, there are liabilities that if things went sideways, they could lose millions. Remember, they are focused on military contracts. That means politics and politicians are involved. Tweak the wrong guy and kiss the contract goodbye as well as future contracts. Perhaps there are political pressures we can’t see that move these decisions. We already know there are politicians who are kinked that the public has arms and who have used their power to drive businesses into the ground. Could just be a play it safe and keep your nose clean. Non NFA parts are one thing but NFA parts are a different animal. I suspect they only make certain parts available to the public because they have to legally.

I was hoping to find one near MSRP. Not thousands over

Those MSRP days are over. Now market forces of supply and demand are at work. I bought my Mark23 and USP Tactical 45 Knights suppressors at a little under MSRP. But that was 18 years ago or so. They were still in production back then. I bought my KAC CT suppressor for 25% more. A real sacrifice back then, but given the short supply and high demand, now it was a bargain. Could be if you find one for sale, it’s probably worth it assuming the trend continues. Keep it long enough and you’ll forget the pain at purchase.
