[QUOTE="english kanigit, post: 1462879, member: 4701"] Think of a KX3 as a combustion chamber. Essentially, it's purpose is to keep the explosion generated by the primer and powder within the gun for as long as possible. This is beneficial on very short rifles, say 10" or less, as it can help them operate more reliably. For this reason the KX3 is going to get hot, very hot. Frankly, there's not much of a reason to run that big chunk of steel on the end of a light weight, 16" rifle. The gun doesn't need it and it may in fact cause excessive wear as the gun will operate harder and quicker due to the increased back-pressure. YMMV of course. Ek [/QUOTE]
