This video provides a step-by-step guide to field stripping and reassembling the Kriss Vector, specifically mentioning the Gen 2 model. The process involves removing four pushpins to separate the upper and lower receivers, followed by the removal and cleaning of the bolt carrier group. The presenter highlights the unique, non-conventional design of the Kriss Vector and emphasizes the simplicity of its disassembly and reassembly, noting that the majority of the functional components are housed in the lower receiver.

Quick Summary

The Kriss Vector is field stripped by removing four non-captive pushpins to separate the upper and lower receivers. The bolt carrier group is then removed from the upper receiver, and the bolt twists out of the carrier for cleaning. Reassembly involves reversing these steps, ensuring proper alignment and secure pin insertion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you field strip a Kriss Vector?

To field strip a Kriss Vector, first ensure it's unloaded. Remove the optic and magazine. Then, remove the four non-captive pushpins to separate the upper and lower receivers. The bolt carrier group can then be removed from the upper receiver, and the bolt twists out of the carrier for cleaning.

What are the main components removed during a Kriss Vector field strip?

During a Kriss Vector field strip, you'll remove the optic and magazine. The primary disassembly involves removing four pushpins to separate the upper and lower receivers. Subsequently, the bolt carrier group is removed from the upper receiver, and the bolt is detached from the carrier.

Is the Kriss Vector difficult to disassemble and reassemble?

The Kriss Vector is described as having a marvelously simple disassembly and reassembly process. It primarily involves removing and reinserting four pushpins to separate and join the upper and lower receivers, making it straightforward for users to maintain.

Where are the main functional parts of the Kriss Vector located?

The Kriss Vector's design is unconventional, with the majority of its functional components, including the barrel to action mechanism, housed within the lower receiver. This design contributes to its unique operational characteristics.
