KNS Precision AR-15 to SIG MCX Stock Adapter

SIG MPX/MCX stocks have become a popular accessory not only for the SIG firearms but for other guns, too. There are multiple different adapters designed for these stocks such as those made by JMac Customs. Recently, KNS Precision has announced that they now make a similar adapter for AR-15 buffer tube replacement.

First things first, this adapter is not compatible with AR-15 pattern rifles because it replaces the receiver extension. The KNS Precision AR/MCX adapters should be used with those firearms that have a provision to mount an AR-15 buffer tube but they don’t have a mechanism inside the buffer tube and can function without it. There are many weapons that use the AR-15 buffer tube to make it possible using the AR-15 stocks – AKs, shotguns, bolt-action rifles … you name it.

The AR/MCX stock adapter consists of a threaded base part that replaces the AR-15 receiver extension, a Picatinny rail section that becomes the mounting platform for the MCX stock and a hex screw with a lock washer that attaches the rail section to the base.

The KNS Precision AR/MCX stock adapter is available in two versions: flanged and non-flanged. The flanged version should be used with those weapons that utilize AR-15 style receivers and need some mean to secure the takedown pin detent and its spring in place. So, basically, the flanged adapter also replaces the AR-15 endplate. For all other firearms, you can use the non-flanged version of the adapter which has a more slimline profile.

KNS Precision AR/MCX stock adapters are listed on the company’s website at an MSRP of $60. The price is identical both for the flanged and non-flanged versions. The company also offers an AR/MCX adapter and MCX stock combo kit at a price point of $180. There is also an adapter kit for the CZ BREN 805 rifle ( MSRP-$220) that includes a Bren to AR-15 stock adapter, an AR/MCX adapter and an MCX stock.

So, what guns use a mil-spec lower but don't need to reciprocate into the buffer tube?
One guy below said a dedicated .22lr would work, but what else?

  @Sunshine_Shooter CZ Scorpion users would be interested in this. Maybe. Mossberg 500, Remington 870...

  @Sunshine_Shooter The MCX uppers, they can fit on normal lowers, so this might be an option since SIG hasn't decided to ship any of the adapters yet.

  @PPGMD It's only been 4 or 5 years, right? But purple P225s come first!

  @PPGMD Is this all the adapter you need to run an MCX upper? If so, these are really an awesome deal. Wish you could do the same trick with an MPX upper!

  @erwos I don't think so; the MCX still has a carrier that reciprocates back into the receiver bridge a little bit, the KNS adapter fills that in solid up to the buffer detent. It's really meant for non-AR guns that use AR-tube attachments and 22LR conversions (SIG MCX trainer)

  @Sunshine_Shooter Errr, isn't there a whole heap of them? Well, not that use a mil-spec lower, but use an AR style receiver extension with no stuff inside it? Even bolt actions like the Ruger RPR or shotguns like the Remington 870 Express Tactical?

  @erwos No, it won't work well because it does not have the meat around the dual recoil springs above the carrier like the one from Sig has. The one from Sig also has a recoil bumper in the back too, which is really needed with the MCX.

  @Dead Sirius I hadn't considered combining it with the myriad AR-tube adapters on the market.

  @Sunshine_Shooter I believe an ARAK-21 upper would work with this.

  @Sunshine_Shooter Serbu SU-15 upper, as well as homemade SMG uppers like outlined in Bill Holmes 9mm AR book.

So can I use this on my AR15? It's a 300 blackout, not .223 rem. 🐒
