Mark II Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Has anyone got their hands on the new Kriss Vector. 22 yet and if so what are your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Fondled it at SHOT show in January, could be a quite a fun gun but 2 things bug me about it, the small mag and the plain ugliness of a long barrel Vector. Kriss say 30 round mags are on the way, but they have previous for not delivering higher capacity mags for their Defiance models, currently only offered with a 15 round mag. Barrels can be shortened, but that adds to the expense and this should really be a cheap fun plinker. On the positive side it feels quite well made and is actually made by Kriss, unlike the Defiance.

Hello BamBam I thought the same thing about the barrel and yes it should be an easy job to cut it down to 12 inches and add a good moderator it will look the part, but as you said it's more expense. I have had a go of someone's defiance which I liked but didn't realise they didn't make it, who did?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Krytac make most of the parts for the Defiance. It's essentially a .22 version of the Krytac Trident airsoft rifle. The handguard is made in China, because M-Lok is a free license from Magpul, but they won't grant a license unless the parts are made in the USA.

Mark II Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Interesting, by all accounts they get good reviews being all metal without costing £1400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Still £975, expensive for a $500 rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's our rip off import tax plus vat plus importers have to put high mark ups but that's not their fault as the uk market is tiny compared to the US so it's the only way they can keep their business running.
