While ammo might still be priced out reach, there's plenty of evidence that firearm prices, especially AR15 options have returned to some semblance of normality, whatever that might be. Take for example this offering from KE Arms.
We've covered the KP15 polymer AR15 lower receiver before here, and since its introduction, folks have been using it to assemble their own lightweight builds. Now the factory is offering a low-cost option, off the shelf in order to clear space in the warehouse – we assume for their recently introduced 9mm AR.
Six hundred bucks gets you a milspec lower parts kit, nitrided BCG, a 16 inch, 9 twist chrome lined, Govt profile barrel, and free float, M-Lok 15 inch handguard. A nice upgrade is the extended billet charging handle, and the polymer lower keeps weight down to six pounds.
Presser below.
This configuration would normally retail at $899.95, but we need to reduce inventory for new products. So while supplies last we are selling these rifles at a heavily discounted price.
As pictured above with 15″ Delta-P MLOK Rail and Forward Assist Upper the rifle weighs 5.95 pounds. Shorter handguard selections will be lighter.
The KP15 lower comes standard with mil-spec fire control group and all of our optimized KP15 parts.
