Echo Nine Three Custom Shortened KP-15 Lowers

If you have been following this blog for a while, you’ll know I have a long-time love affair with CAV-15 lowers. One of my lowers was worked over by Echo Nine Three with a number of modifications, the most prominent of which is the shortening of the buttstock. Now that the KE Arms KP-15 lowers are out in the wild, it is becoming clear that these are a vast improvement over their distant relative the CAV-15 and Echo Nine Three is, once again, offering customizations.

The KP-15, like the CAV-15 before it, has an integral A1 length stock but the actual internal bore for the buffer tube is made to accept carbine buffers and springs. This means that there are potentially a few inches of stock that can be removed if the user desires something shorter. Echo Nine Three removes this excess length and fits a new rubber butt pad that is shaped to fit the KP-15 stock contours.

Echo Nine Three is the only gunsmith that is authorized by KE Arms to shorten the buttstock in this way. If Echo Nine Three performs the mod, your KP-15 warranty will still be intact.

KE Arms KP-15 Progress

The KE Arms KP-15 is the spiritual successor to the CAV-15 polymer AR-15 lower. As a fan of CAV-15 lowers, I’m excited about the KP-15 because it has the right people in place behind the scenes – people who have been working with the original CAV-15 since its inception and who love it even more than I do.

The latest news from KE Arms, the manufacturers of the KP-15, is that test shots have taken place with the new injection molds (see the attached images). Weld testing will be next as the KP-15 moves closer and closer to production-ready.
