VFC KS-1/L403A1 GBBR

[ButcherBill]

Ah, I maybe miss-spoke it's the acro p2 I've seen & mainly in black

 

[Austeyr]

Acro mount where? All I see there is RMR footprint

I thought they had the same mount to tell you the truth

 

[Anonymoose]

Am I the only person going 'Meh just another M4?'  I get the British connection but other than that 'Meh'

The AR design has kinda been done to death and people make a huge fuss over "new" AR-based stuff that looks exactly like every other one.

I like my 416 but it does look like every other AR.

But i do kinda like this. Not bothered about the L403 specifically, but i like the KS-1 dressed up like that with the foregrip and suppressor, etc.

I'd rather have a black one over the FDE though.

Kinda, but no more than any other AR based pew.

If they were all the same we'd never want anything after the M16A1.

I do like an A1 triangular foregrip.

The correct scope is being made by EG with the mount and acro in FDE. 

The AG suppressor still looks better than the vfc one from pics but I'll directly compare them once the vfc suppressor lands later this month . UKSF versions do have some other optic and furniture options if you don't fancy the ranger/RM options

Can't say I've seen any other versions yet.

There are pictures out there of various configurations on exercises and even a couple from deployments

Same stock as what's on the VFC

Jay Cal's set up

Thanks, just seen a few pics... I might have a use for my Hydra mount after all.

 

[Austeyr]

Hopefully I'll stumble upon a KS-1 with an EXPS3 on it so I can be "clone accurate" and also use an optic I like

 

[1st commando]

It's not the B5 stock on those, it's a magpul SL-K 

 

[Austeyr]

I'm out of touch with AR's and their accessories I can't lie

 

[ButcherBill]

Och, I'll just copy the pretty picture...

Ok so far I'm really impressed by the new stock hop . Far more stable than the older VFC AR15 hops from the box

Have you any experience of an MWS to compare it to?  I've been swinging back and forth on buying a V3 VFC for a while, but Jaeger Precisions latest range test of them vs MWS shows suggests they are still not there in terms of accuracy.  

If this latest revision of their hop can close that gap I'd be interested to know.

 

[Lyndication]

Tbf the DE he tested came off pretty badly in that one as well. Considering he's running them at about 2J towards the end, it's weird how much his guns underperform.

I've had both mws and vfc rifles among other gbb platforms. I've since sold all my mws rifles and kept buying vfc . I've not had an issue with accuracy and certainly nothing that couldn't be solved by a new hop rubber if I couldn't be bothered to wear in the stock hop

 

[ButcherBill]

Been waiting on this all day...

This thing has a kick & I'm extremely pleased with it, the stocks a bit wobbly but planning on replacing it anyway (along with the grip).

This was on pre-order (from the day I posted my weakness) & arrived by DPD today.

It has npas btw

 

[ButcherBill]

I was wondering about that, the allen key doesn't seem to fit the npas tho (assuming it's just for the hop).

The key in the box is for the hop
