Looks like a new Knight's type MBK to drop on to your M4.

The round pieces at the back I'm guessing are sling attachment points, but what on earth's going on with the mag release?? Something real funky looking that's for sure.

Ambi mag release and what also looks like ambi bolt release. Interesting.

And possibly a functional ambi selector. But for me, I'm getting the CA M6A2 ... Checked it out yesterday and it was nicer than any KA or G&P gun I've ever bought (and that's saying a lot because I usually hate CA).

Yup! All the ones that are US based have the correct engraved markings except for the batch that got sent to LWRCi.

Go king Arms, yet another armalite, but it took no R&D and everyone who buys one helps us get new guns. Its like win-win especially if you're been after that Damn E3 SR-16 Receiver for ages xD

Not much "R&D" perhaps since it appears to be a 90% direct copy of the VFC body, but KA did have to spend quite a bit of money on completely new molds and tooling.

it seems strange that both vfc and ka have simular products, do you think they share the OEM or just 1 clones the other

The latter. KA clones a lot of designs. VFC does their own R&D.

Looks pretty decent. Much better than those laser etched 'engravings'
I wonder if they'll release a WA copy of this!

Corps, how does the CA LWRCi compare to the VFC KACs?

The bolt catch and ambi selector/ mag release are fully functional:

Well this new KA body is definitely the one going on my KA project gun (horrid USSOCOM trades)
But USCM, the M6 is on my future list, And well, you just sold me, I HATE CA since my m15a4, but with your reputation, and attention to detail, I'm 100 percent on that gun now.

Having recently got a PDW I can say this body style works very well even down to the funky trigger guard which is shaped for the trigger finger to rest on when not firing. Will swap one of these onto my M4 at some point.

Their right hand bolt release actually looks more substantial than the VFC one.

Isn't this old news?
This body is great despite its shortcomings (mock bolt, see my review if you want more info). Buying and installing this kit though would mean that you would have to drill holes in your GB shell to allow the gears for the ambi selector to be installed.
Overall it wouldn't be hard to do ( I just finished disassembling and reassembling my KA SR15E3 that has this body) but will take a little bit of time, especially since it has functional ambi controls.
