I’ve been using the KAC SR-15 upper for about a year now. The accuracy has been impressive; I can consistently hit targets at 300 yards without any issues.

That’s great to hear! How does it perform in adverse weather conditions? I’ve heard mixed reviews on that front.

In my experience, the KAC handles rain and mud very well without any jams. I took it out during a downpour and had no issues. Quite reliable!

Interesting! What kind of ammo are you using? I want to ensure I’m getting the most out of this upper.

I’ve used both 55gr and 69gr rounds. The 69gr seems to provide better accuracy for longer distances. Definitely worth trying if you want precision!

7

I’ve found the same with the heavier rounds! But I prefer the lighter ones for quick engagements. It’s a versatile upper for sure.

8

What distances are we talking about with these rounds?

For me, it works well up to 500 yards with 69gr, but anything beyond that does require more skill. Just my two cents!

I have! It performed flawlessly during a few competitions. I think the combination of accuracy and reliability stands out among its peers.

But isn’t it a bit pricey? For that kind of money, I expect to be able to shoot the eyes out of a squirrel at 500 yards!

13

Haha! I’m not sure about squirrel hunting, but for target shooting, it’s worth every penny!

Definitely! Regular cleaning has kept mine shooting like new, even after heavy use. It’s a solid performer.

I’ve owned the KAC SR-15 upper for over a year now. The build quality is top-notch, and I haven’t seen any noticeable wear and tear. The material feels solid and durable, perfect for harsh environments.

Absolutely agree! I’ve taken mine out in the field, and it held up remarkably well. The finish is resistant even after a few rounds in the mud.

I’ve seen some mixed reviews online, but I have to say my experience has been great. Nothing has rattled or worn down on mine, and I shoot often.

That’s good to hear! I’ve been contemplating upgrading my upper, and this feedback really helps. How does it compare to others you’ve tried?
