What would be a fair price for a .45 KV that’s had about 100 rounds thrown through it? I’m in NH if that matters
What are y’all using with optic wise on your Kriss’? I’m looking at a Romeo 5 or just using irons since it’s a 25/50 yard deal lol
My Vector 9mm started off as a CRB and I had sent it to Kriss for the SBR conversion (6.5"). When it was in CRB config prior to shipping it back to them, I had shot it at 100 yd a few times and it was always on paper. No real problems with it. Groups were OK about 3"-6" groups at 100 yd.
When I got it back, it would exhibit odd behavior. Like it would be on paper at 100 yd and then it wouldn't be on paper at all. I thought it was optics (Holosun 510C was adjusted by 52 clicks elevation off center to get it back on paper) and I switched to other optics like the Duty RDS. Rather than adjust the optic, I'd get it on paper and then observed that once the barrel cooled it would be off paper. Once I kept it running and hot, it was more consistent.
But the biggest problem was the 9"-13" POI shift with a DT can at 25 yd. I've tried EZ-LOK, 3-Lug, Rearden, and KeyMo/KeyMicro. All yielded the same results - MASSIVE POI shift. I even got 4 baffle strikes inside my Obsidian 9 full config - the baffles in the modular section were struck but the end cap was fine.
I was going to give up and just use a KVP thread protector as it can be tightened down better with its wrench flats. That's when I saw an uneven gap between the shoulder of the barrel and the thread protector (the OE Kriss thread protector doesn't show this gap for some reason). It was clear the threads were not concentric to the bore.
So I sent it back to Kriss and they had to replace the barrel (took about 2 months). I haven't received it back yet or read the included gunsmith notes but was told they tested it with the SiCo Omega 9K and their 4GSK can. In direct thread configs, the cans all passed. But when they ran the 3-lug adapter on the Omega 9k, it failed. According to Kriss, something with the Gen 2 barrel profile makes it incompatible with the 3-lug adapter. I do not have details on what adapter they used on the muzzle end or on the can. I have to assume they used the SiCo Alpha 3-lug on the Omega 9K and maybe the SiCo 3-lug muzzle device. But when I ran the tri-lug with the Obsidian 9 on my Vector, that's when I got the multiple baffle strike event. With the direct thread mounts on Lithium, Obsidian, Rad 9, R9, etc... the POI shift was still substantial but no strikes were observed.
I know folks that read this and run 3-lug will say theirs are perfectly fine but this is what I was just told by Kriss.
For the HK SP5, I just use direct thread and the same cans I mentioned above had zero POI shift on the SP5 when direct threaded. So when I did back to back testing between the SP5 and Vector, I knew it was the Vector/barrel if the same DT can yielded 9-13" POI shift on the Vector but was straight as an arrow on the SP5. The SP5 was printing 0.6" 5-shot groups at 25 yd (same can, same ammo, etc) while the Vector was at best 1.5" 5-shots (Kriss said their spec is 2" or less at 25 yd).
Guy in the gun shop was setting one out when I walked in. Never expected to fall in love with a gun that quick. Time to figure out which optics to run.
I was at the range today and pulled the charging handle back to chamber a round and let go and the charging handle broke off. Haven't seen this happen anywhere else. Hoping its covered under warranty.
What caliber does everyone have? Looking at .45 and Osprey 45k
I’m close to buy one soon and I’m wondering…..how did your Kriss run out of the box? Any FTE/FTF issues? Is there anything I need to look out for?
Hey all,
Quick question, my brand new vector just arrived yesterday. I am trying to remove the top picatinny rail however it’s near impossible to take off. I applied some penetration oil last night. That did not work. I apply heat today. Still that did not work. Attached an old scope I don’t use to hammer it. Still no movement. Not sure if I’m missing something?
^^( not mine ) So I’ve been looking around and can’t find a single answer!!. seeing if anyone here knows why on my 2.1 when my safety is off there’s a red bullet but why around da web I see some have a V and a bullet what’s the difference and why do some have it and some don’t ?
So I plan on getting the ( Vector SBR Enhanced Gen 2 | 6.5" | Black ) and plan on putting on the ( Vector Folding Stock for the Hinged Upper ). If this isn't possible please let me know but if so how would I do this and what resources would I need ( a link would be great ). Also what is the legal process for putting this on ( I think its a form 1 ) and how does that work? Do i buy the gun and then do the paperwork, hear back from ATF and then put my grip and folding stock on. Also here's what I'm playing on doing for my build so let me know if you have any suggestions for the build or things I should change.
Vector SBR Enhanced Gen 2 | 6.5" | Black
Nightstrike Diamondback Angled Foregrip
Ambidextrous Folding Stock for GEN 2.1 Vector
EOTECH HHS™ V
Kriss Vector Trigger Modification Kit ( FarrowTech screw )
Also should I add a handguard and if so which one and why should I add it
also here's a photo of the stock I want to run on my Kriss
I just contacted Kriss about their Gen 3 release and should be out by the end of the year.
I work at a shooting range, our vector is down. The trigger mechanism doesn’t drop the hammer and I am curious if there is an easy fix for this before I disassemble it this week?
So as the title says I want some help with constructing my first Kriss and I was wondering if anyone could help. So far this is what I want to put on it
Vector SBR Gen 2 | 5.5" | Black
Magpul AFG2
Ambidextrous Folding Stock for GEN 2.1 Vector
EOTECH holographic sight
One thing I was wondering about was the trigger. I wanted a nicer trigger than the one on it and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. I was looking for one that allowed for quicker shots.
Also, would anyone have any recommendations for any other add ons to make this a great range toy.
Also, I live in VA so would there be any paperwork I would have to do on this ( I think I have to do a tax stamp? )
Thanks for all the help.
I like the look of the larger sites on these. I can't wait to get out and run this thing.
Didn’t realize it was going to be such a pita to be able to use my suppressor with it 😩 oh well, ya live and learn lol
Am considering something like Holosun 510C vs. Vortex 3X Prism … thoughts from the group ?
Finally have a Kriss inbound this week in .45 caliber. Few quick questions. Best place to score magazines? Do these run a particular ammo well? I plan to file the SBR paperwork within the next couple weeks. Anything in addition that is must have for the Kriss in .45??
Braces that fold work well, also bonus FNX-45.
I already have a SB 1913 that I plan to put on it. I see that Strike and Engineered Silence both have similar ones, does anyone have experience with either?
I want a SBR this here soon and put a suppressor on it but I'd rather not Chop the barrel if I don't have to, any ideas where I can get a replacement pistol length barrel for when i get it sbr'd?
I have a 9mm gen 2 CRB. On their site, it says they will remove the shroud and add a threaded 6.5 barrel.
Has anyone had this done? I love the rifle, but it is far too heavy. I wish I had gotten the SDP, but here I am trying to make the best of it!
Thanks!
