This review of the Knight's Armament KS-1 AR-15, presented by James Reeves of TFB TV, offers an analytical yet appreciative look at a top-tier firearm developed for a UK military contract. The KS-1 features a 13.7-inch barrel, a 3D-printed Inconel MCQ suppressor, and the new URX 6 handguard. While acknowledging its exceptional performance, soft recoil, and reliability, the review critically examines whether its high price point ($3,000-$3,500) is justified by marginal gains over more accessible high-end AR platforms.
The Knights Armament KS3, a compact SR-15 variant, was showcased at SHOT Show 2025. This rifle features significant upgrades including the URX 6 handguard for improved rigidity and zero retention, and the 3.2 bolt with a dual ejector for enhanced reliability across various ammunition and suppressor combinations. The ambidextrous lower receiver and refined safety selector further enhance its operational efficiency, making it a primary recommendation for 2025.
