Major Malfunction was initially quoted by AAC $700 plus the tax stamp to order one in for me which I agreed to.
Then someone pulled the plug at AAC.
That sucked.
So, I know it is low volume and stupid expensive but I could use it on my 9.25" AR.
Who sells suppressors anyway?
This "You'll shoot your eye out" business is crazy, give me the waiver and I will sign it.
This!!!!
Spoke with The Someone Special today at AAC (Not going to name names), he said that because AAC produces suppressors and that the Blackout (qd mount) is a mount for a suppressor the ATF classifies any thing mounted to it as a suppressor.
I asked what about if; Remington makes it, and what I got was something to the extent of while that would take some figuring out but "Remington would never let it out because it of liability reasons "some dude getting a jacket in the leg and bleeding out".
So how about a compromise, lets scrap the re-bar cutter portion and just have an attachable KX3 design, IT is a WIN WIN, little to no liability for cutting re-bar, and we the CIVILIANS get something use-able.
its perfect,
I can run a black out for no flash
I can run a suppressor for a reduction in noise and flash
or I can go super compact and use the KX3 attachment for house clearing when I dont want to pack my can
This is a multi role option no other manufacture is capable of producing and now the folks at AAC can corner the market on it.
Hell, this will probable open a whole new consumer basis for AAC as people is states that are not suppressor friendly or can not afford a suppressor but need (can legally have) the option of running a flash suppressor or a KX3 type thing.
