[QUOTE="Wolfdog91, post: 3024033, member: 127579"] Wanted to show off my new little build. Been waiting to get into .17cal for a while but in the last few years the barrier to entry has been pretty sucky due to brass availability,parent cases availability ect . And honestly I just wanted to pay with it because I thought "little bullet go fast = fun " . So couldn't really justify dropping $1200 on some semi custom wild cat or something. That and I hate talking on the phone so.... Well three months ago was looking around and saw KAK came out with their .17-5.56. They where selling barrels ,brass does and completely uppers all in house ready to buy . And according to them they looked at all the compliments other .17's had and tried to make theirs to where it could be a very easy and cheap case conversion not requiring a bunch of extra bs . Basically just a one time deal of running 1x fired 5.56 in the resizing die and boom. 17-5.56 brass.
