re: Review on these ARs

Those are both great rifles, but they ain't nowhere close to the Nemo.

Are you being serious?

Please substantiate your claims.

Nemo has a carbon fiber barrel, nickel boron bcg with recoil reduction system, free float mlok instead of the quadrail, Geissele 2 stage trigger, lightweight machined receivers, an actual muzzle brake instead of the A2 birdcage, cerakote finish, and adjustable gas block just to name a few things. In my opinion the fit and finish on Nemo's guns is hard to beat. I haven't seen the executive order in person yet, but it looks to be a work of art.

The LMT is a great gun. I would be lucky to own one, but's like comparing a F-150 XLT to a King Ranch. They both do the same thing, but one is a lot nicer with nicer features than the other.


I mean bruh

Clearly gimmicks and aesthetics are more important to you.

Nemo does not even come close to the pedigree, R&D, and history of military contracts of KAC and LMT.

both are pretty overpriced, much like the Nemo.

SR25 is living on name at this point. the civilian pricing is an utter joke. they used to be the only good AR10 out and charge a hefty premium due to their contracts. id like to have one, but id never pay that much for one.

---

You're joking right?

The cost of R&D to develop and refine the SR-25 is passed on to the end user.

The latest iteration of the SR-25 (APC, ACC, etc,) is lightyears ahead of its "competitors".

As I always say, "It's your money; do as you please".

no it's not. I could put together a rifle that shoots with similar accuracy for half the price. you're quoting pedigree (AKA name recognition), R&D (to justify the high price), and military contracts (just lol). those military contracts are why it's so fricking expensive. the price of an SR25 shouldn't exceed $2800-$3000 for what you get.

Why would you drop $5000 on an APC when you could spend $3000 on a rifle that's put together by GA Precision?

What components of the KAC are so much better than those of other quality AR-10s out right now? Don't just say "R&D"

---

To quote someone more knowledgable than me: "No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say 'What is that, a 3 MOA group?'"

Sure, if you just want to sit on a bench and shoot for groups, most anything with a "match grade" barrel will be fine.

However, this isn't just about accuracy. If I'm buying a semi-automatic rifle, I want something that I can beat to shite. I want a work horse, not a show pony.

I'm not sure if you're aware of the enhance functionality and durability of the KAC E3 bolt.

The vast majority of military contracts are awarded for a reason, and those reasons are never "Gee, the milling on that lower receiver matches my purse!".

I feel like some of you on this board have never heard of Google. I'm at work and I'm not going to link or write about the R&D of KAC at this time.

If you think Brand X is as good as/better/looks cooler than something that is proven, then by all means go for it.

Yeah. It's usually political bs and connections. I have family in the large arms contracting business and contracts are all political crap. Just because KAC has a contract does mean it's the best out there.

carbon fiber barre

Weight reduction.

Self explanatory

lightweight machined receivers

Again, weight reduction

cerakote finish

I can somewhat agree on this

fit and finish

Both of these followed "In my opinion".

You don't think a Daniel Defense or a Larue will run right there with a KAC?

I'm well aware of what it's touted to be.

there's your strawman again. im still waiting on you to offer up your list of superior components in the SR25 (just the bolt won't cut it) that justify its absurd pricing.

Never said they wouldn't. I'm really referring to Nemo, which costs as much or more than a KAC. I'm not saying Nemo isn't durable, but I won't be taking my chances.

I guess you've learned everything you know about firearms from your deployments as an operator.

If you don't think the E3 bolt is a significant improvement contributing to the increased price of admission, then you don't have to buy it.
