The day before the full SHOT show (and continuing into the first day of SHOT) there is the “Supplier Showcase” which is a much-smaller show on the 5th floor of the Sands Convention Hall in Las Vegas. Generally this attracts smaller companies than the full-size SHOT. We always like to go to connect with some of our vendors and to see what’s new.
KAK industries had this Belt-Fed, Water-Cooled 5.56mm AR Upper on display, the Lima -1917. it’s the real deal. I talked with the Kurt, the owner of KAK and he said that the water-cooling is real (at first I thought it might just be a prop for the show) and is modelled on the water jacket of a M1917 .30 Browning.
I really am really impressed with KAK. They have a wide range of excellent products and also keep a light-hearted, can-do attitude. Their retro line is outstanding, and now the Lima 1917 comes out!
