No argument there. Sometimes though, when they're the only game in town, it's worth it.Knight makes nice stuff but he is always overpriced.

Unfortunatly no.Grumpy, you don't like the Remi or Geissele offerings?
Was there even a KAC prototype out for the 416?
Their PDW is piston if i'm not mistaken. I'm not sure about "Trey", but Reed Knight has a great deal of respect for HK firearms.I'm not surprised KAC isn't making one. I think they hate piston ARs more than some people on this board hate chrome lining. I mean, first HK adds a forward assist to the 417, and now with this short stroke piston. If Eugene Stoner thought the AR should have had a piston, he would have made one with a piston. . . oh wait. . .

In all reality, KAC has probably made the decision based on market.I'm not surprised KAC isn't making one. I think they hate piston ARs more than some people on this board hate chrome lining.

And you know this how?In all reality, KAC has probably made the decision based on market.
There isn't a whole lot of MR556's out there and their not exactly flying off the shelves.
I'm inclined to agree with Grumpy here. Consider some of the products KAC actually has introduced to the market. They have/had a NV mount of AI sniper rifles (Not much to go off there unless they get a contract with the Brits which I don't believe they have). While the MP5 and G3 RAS make sense, I don't know of many armies who have/had large amounts of 33's (save Malaysia) to warrant a 93/33 RAS, and MR556's should eclipse the 93 in production numbers.And you know this how?
As it were, since I'd venture a guess that most of the aftermarket accessories for the 416 platform are being driven by Mil/LE end users anyway and that anything that trickles down to the Civ market is merely to generate extra cash flow to cover Christmas bonuses, your statement is invalid to begin with, much less backed by any sort of facts.
Just sayin'.....
