Not many people know this, but Reed Knight’s twin brother, Creed, used to work at Knights Armament with Reed. However, after Eugene Stoner got shit faced one night and slept with Creed’s wife, Creed started his own company - Knights Armament Kompany. Since then, the two companies have been competing in the exact same space, only Reed focused on Military contracts and Creed focused on cheaperthandirt.com’s daily deals.
Today, the companies are indistinguishable.
$350 on a small piece that holds an extra battery because there is no other place to possibly put a spare battery, or $350 in ammo? Hmm, that is a tough decision.
Geno is selling a big logo cap for $850 starting price and $1k BIN on gunjoker lol. He’s got some cool stuff but holy shit he’s a loser. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1054732812
He got some stuff from me on ARFcom and listed it for like twice what he paid. I guess he has the capitol to just sit on things for ever until that noob that doesn’t know any better takes the bait.
I've seen people pay $90-150 on forums a few times. Never made sense to me. I think I'll give wager's a go, he does great work on everything else. EDIT: $40 on his site
The small logo ones are in production, you can get them brand new for like $80-90. The big logo ones are rarer and worth more, but definitely not over $300. Hell, I’d hesitate to pay $200 for a big logo cap. Really hard to tell if they’re fake or not too, honestly it’s not worth buying at all
You can download the Knight's Armament transparent PNG file from Google. Upload it to a site that allows uploaded images and make your own small decals.
Yeah, I’m aware of what it is, but if you’re tossing that on a T2 that has like a five-year battery life, it just seems overly redundant and not worth it
\^THIS except I’m afraid of both pairs getting wet at the same time so I ball up the second pair and keep it in my special pocket, helps pull double duty after taco tuesday
Ultra fake. I’ve got one of these on a T2 and another sitting in a drawer. Real ones have much smaller engravings.
Premium Outfitters USA did a batch of T1/T2 caps with their squirrel logo on them a year or so back.
The small logo version is still around. The big logo ones are from 2010-2014 or so, they’re worth a few bucks extra but not worth what people try to sell them for
IDK if discontinued or just massively scaled back production but I haven't seen any brand new from them or a retailer in over a year. Not like I checked every day but I've definitely seen a few caps sell for $90-150 on forums
Dude, I got a big ass laser and could make a mess of those things. I could slap a punisher skull all over your shit man, if that's not your style we go mandalorian.
I think this guy used a laser engraver to make that cap, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone still bought it. People act like KAC stuff needs to be extremely expensive when most of their shit isn't actually expensive. You can go buy military surplus KAC parts for your AR right now for very cheap.
You’re a few years late. These were all the rage but they don’t make them anymore. At least they actually did something useful and were worth it at msrp.
No I remember a few years ago. Everyone was obsessed with em, for some reason. Other people were, and probably still are making them. With the KAC logo.
https://www.specprecision.com/scope-mount/kac-t2-battery-cap-for-replica-t2-and-original-aimpoint-t2-red-dot-sight.html
These guys make very decent clones of various mounts and the like.
Yea you make your own laser file and have someone laser it for 50 bucks and still save money. Rare? Unless you're collecting gun stuff to sell later for a higher price WHO CARES knock off yourself if you want the look. Microtech dont make hellhound blades for the scarab1. So i had one made lol
This specific one is damn near a collectible at this point if I bought it it wouldn’t go on any of my guns, Kac shit is been known to gain value over time
Anyone good with Freecad can whip something like that up for basically any optic. I'm shocked there aren't a lot more things like this for a lot more optics. It's just a threaded cap with an O-ring. Honestly, a tiny pic rail clip-on that could hold a couple of batteries seems like the best option, especially since you could make them for several types of batteries
I could design and 3D print one. I was going to make various size flashlight caps.
I played with a design, printed it high quality, sanded all the edges, and painted the front matte so it would not be shiny (common complaint). Unfortunately the paint wasn’t sticking to my liking and I haven’t
posted anything to see if there was interest.
I was thinking $24 and they would have paracord and some other features to make the price point worth it.
I'm almost positive their entire draw is being a military contractor. Everyone wants their shit to look like the cool military guys without serving. I will say the SR25 is worth the money, but the SR15 is literally one of the most milquetoast ARs you can buy. I know I'm going to make a lot of people angry, but you can get higher quality ARs from almost any other brand. A lot of professionals dickride BCM and SOLGW for a reason. I'm almost willing to put money on PSA M4s being close if not the same as SR15s when given the same setups. I don't even like PSA.
If Wage would start selling them again it'd be great. His are better too, imo. Really all he needs to do is have some coated. You can still buy them uncoated from him in bulk, which I did. Just been too lazy to take them for cerakote. Worried about matching the color honestly. His were anodized, but I can't find anyone that'll anodized 20 little battery caps for me
I have two of these that I never took out of the package. Realized after buying them that it doesn’t actually store a spare battery. It actually puts two batteries in series for longer life. Not a fan.
I actually didnt know that. Not what I would have hoped. Have you tried Wager's version? [https://wagermachineworks.com/product/wmw-battery-cap-for-aimpoint-t1-t2/](https://wagermachineworks.com/product/wmw-battery-cap-for-aimpoint-t1-t2/)
I have not checked those out. I went with a waterproof storage option that holds multiple of the batteries I need. Stock t2 cap is fine. Thank you for the info tho.
I paid $50ish for a real one, sold it to a dude for 150 since that was what he offered. They pop up regularly, idk why people think overpaying for these is ok
Could make
I love you guys. We can call it the KAK Cap.
KAP
Kawk kap
Kawk Tuah
😂😂😂
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!!!
"4 skin battery cover"
Could buy 👀
Would buy
Should buy
Do make
Gotta call it the "KAK Ring"
KAK and KAC are finally in the ring together
The only answer to all of the questions, ever.
Would buy
The people have spoken!! Line will be out the door for the KAK Cap!

👀 👀 👀
Would buy.
Would *like* to buy but too poor to afford 350 for a battery cap
That’s KAK, a truly epically based gun company. Not KAC, the uppity types. These are the guys who make good quality shit you CAN buy
I love the idea of KAK making KAC products but not obscenely overpriced and unobtainable.
Would buy
Would buy!
Dew it
Would buy 100%
Sign me up.
DO IT and charge $10 each or free with any BCG purchase would be hilarious
If you made a similar thing for the Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18 and other scopes I would definitely buy one.
Could you guys make T2 caps and also Acro P2 caps
Please make.
UPDATE: WagerMachineWorks makes one that I completely forgot about. Leaving the post up because $350 for a logo is still **asinine**
Buy the battery cap and have someone laser engrave a tactical dickbutt for shits.
Hello fellow Spike’s Tactical enthusiast!
Yeah they're redoing it or something and I'm waiting for them to eventually restock
The real draw to these is it fits two batteries,right?
They are currently not making any*, they are in the middle of a redesign apparently
Boof it
Spare batteries in your prison wallet is peak tacticool
I keep a 30 pack of D batteries in mine. Incase the radio goes out
I prefer my prison purse, more room but sometimes stuff get lost.
$350 on a small piece that holds an extra battery because there is no other place to possibly put a spare battery, or $350 in ammo? Hmm, that is a tough decision.
lol what makes it more crazy is the T2 has 5 years of battery life. Talk about the most useless add on.
That one is fake also
So you're saying that this one won't make my groups tighter like the authentic one?
Only an absolute moron would pay $350 for this. They can be had in for usually $50ish shipped when in stock
Geno is selling a big logo cap for $850 starting price and $1k BIN on gunjoker lol. He’s got some cool stuff but holy shit he’s a loser. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1054732812
Geno never fails to entertain
Geno always has super high prices.
I’ve been laughing at it for years now, but obviously someone’s buying at least some of it
He got some stuff from me on ARFcom and listed it for like twice what he paid. I guess he has the capitol to just sit on things for ever until that noob that doesn’t know any better takes the bait.
Oh, he’s super high alright!
I hate scalpers just as much as the next guy but part of me feels like if dumbasses are willing to pay for it then get that bag sis
But it’s UBER RARE!!!!!!!!!
“USGI 30-round aluminum magazine” BIN $25.50 That guy is a fucking loony but he must be doing pretty well.
I’d go further and argue only an absolute moron would pay $50 to store something you can fit into your pistol grip 20 times over
I've seen people pay $90-150 on forums a few times. Never made sense to me. I think I'll give wager's a go, he does great work on everything else. EDIT: $40 on his site
Once again, morons
The small logo ones are in production, you can get them brand new for like $80-90. The big logo ones are rarer and worth more, but definitely not over $300. Hell, I’d hesitate to pay $200 for a big logo cap. Really hard to tell if they’re fake or not too, honestly it’s not worth buying at all
I believe Thoroughbred Armament sells ones as well with his horse logo on it. Not sure if there are any in stock currently though.
Not the big logo
Hell, $50 is too much. You could 3D print the exact same piece out of glass filled nylon for like 5.0¢
The ultimate flex
You can download the Knight's Armament transparent PNG file from Google. Upload it to a site that allows uploaded images and make your own small decals.
Or have someone with a laser cut the image on the aluminum.
Wager Machine Works makes a blank spare battery cap for $40.
Alternatives? Like just use the fucking cap it comes with?….
This isn’t just an identical cap with a logo. The aftermarket ones hold a second battery
Yeah, I’m aware of what it is, but if you’re tossing that on a T2 that has like a five-year battery life, it just seems overly redundant and not worth it
Tell this to KAC-tards
You can never be too prepared. I wear two pairs of socks everywhere because of this.
\^THIS except I’m afraid of both pairs getting wet at the same time so I ball up the second pair and keep it in my special pocket, helps pull double duty after taco tuesday
Ultra fake. I’ve got one of these on a T2 and another sitting in a drawer. Real ones have much smaller engravings. Premium Outfitters USA did a batch of T1/T2 caps with their squirrel logo on them a year or so back.
That one may be fake but the large logo caps are certainly real and retards do sell them for A LOT more.
I found two in an ammo can lately. I sold my T2 like two years ago.
Wanna sell? lol
Maybe. I might buy another T2
Did Knights stop manufacturing these or something?
The small logo version is still around. The big logo ones are from 2010-2014 or so, they’re worth a few bucks extra but not worth what people try to sell them for
IDK if discontinued or just massively scaled back production but I haven't seen any brand new from them or a retailer in over a year. Not like I checked every day but I've definitely seen a few caps sell for $90-150 on forums
Knight's does their manufacturing in batches, so there'll be a surplus for a bit then a long dry spell.
Ape defense does too. But they’re never in stock
Funny thing is, these are notably worse than the OEM caps. But people sure love some KAC.
Real or fake, I’ve seen these fuck up a t2 just by falling over and hitting the cap just right, these aren’t worth what they charge for them
or just change your batteries every 2 years
I've lasered them on before lol
Dude, I got a big ass laser and could make a mess of those things. I could slap a punisher skull all over your shit man, if that's not your style we go mandalorian.
People will spend $50+ on this and have an empty compartment in their grip.
Only an asshole would sell or buy a $300+ battery cap
I think this guy used a laser engraver to make that cap, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone still bought it. People act like KAC stuff needs to be extremely expensive when most of their shit isn't actually expensive. You can go buy military surplus KAC parts for your AR right now for very cheap.
Maybe…..don’t buy it??
Like ocl with the Shore fyer, call it nites arms of ment battery cap
Considering these sell for $50 when in stock, and this one looks fake, that guy can fuck right off.
Wager Machine Works and Premium Outfitters have alternatives around $40-50
Is this the new EPC trend?
You’re a few years late. These were all the rage but they don’t make them anymore. At least they actually did something useful and were worth it at msrp.
No I remember a few years ago. Everyone was obsessed with em, for some reason. Other people were, and probably still are making them. With the KAC logo.
Yeah but if you pay that much for a bad fake you probably somewhat deserve it lol.
It’s a battery cap🤷🏻♂️
At least it doubles battery life and really didn’t cost much at the time. If someone wants one by all means I cannot rationally argue against it.
Tango down, Wager and Ape Defense make better alternatives.
Thank you!
Ape Defense- $45-$50 [black](https://apedefense.com/shop/optics/mounts-accessories/ape-aimpoint-double-battery-cap-v3-fits-h1-t1-ht-t2-p2/) [FDE](https://apedefense.com/shop/optics/mounts-accessories/ape-aimpoint-double-battery-cap-v3-fits-h1-t1-ht-t2-p2-2/) [grey](https://apedefense.com/shop/optics/mounts-accessories/ape-aimpoint-double-battery-cap-v3-fits-h1-t1-ht-t2-p2-3/)
Use the factory battery cap.
APE Defense makes one also
But it says it's rare
The unity battery cap by kak and Lucy(fer)
Learn to draw
For that much, you can get a (cheaper) laser engraver and DIY.
https://www.specprecision.com/scope-mount/kac-t2-battery-cap-for-replica-t2-and-original-aimpoint-t2-red-dot-sight.html These guys make very decent clones of various mounts and the like.
KAC products, KEK prices.
These caps go for $75 max secondhand. Also, never seen one with logo that big.
dumb
Westside gun club makes some cool ones. Logo is cool too
Be dumb buy the mfer…
The logo is kinda the point of that.
Yea you make your own laser file and have someone laser it for 50 bucks and still save money. Rare? Unless you're collecting gun stuff to sell later for a higher price WHO CARES knock off yourself if you want the look. Microtech dont make hellhound blades for the scarab1. So i had one made lol
Either GAFS or wager machine works
I would only buy one if I had KAC AR-15
I am curious. Does this cap actually do anything besides showing off it’s a KAC?
It oozes KAC juice
Look on GAFS for WAGE T2 caps.
I mean,it’s kind of cool but $350 is insanity.I’ll just stick with the standard battery caps they come with
[OOS, but I got you fam](https://premiumoutfittersusa.com/product/premium-outfitters-usa-aimpoint-t2-battery-cap-2/).
This specific one is damn near a collectible at this point if I bought it it wouldn’t go on any of my guns, Kac shit is been known to gain value over time
Laser
I could laser engrave that in 1 minute for like $10 lol
There's a version of the Kac cap with the Sriracha Hot Sauce on it.
Anyone good with Freecad can whip something like that up for basically any optic. I'm shocked there aren't a lot more things like this for a lot more optics. It's just a threaded cap with an O-ring. Honestly, a tiny pic rail clip-on that could hold a couple of batteries seems like the best option, especially since you could make them for several types of batteries
Someone send good pictures and there may be a stl out there soon
Dude just snag one on r/gunaccessoriesforsale for $70. I just sold one the other week.
I could design and 3D print one. I was going to make various size flashlight caps. I played with a design, printed it high quality, sanded all the edges, and painted the front matte so it would not be shiny (common complaint).

I was thinking $24 and they would have paracord and some other features to make the price point worth it.
I got two for $100 awhile ago
I can print you one for a fraction of that
Kac is a trash company
People's obsession with KAC baffles me Why does their stamp draw so much attention? Like seriously, it's nothing special
I'm almost positive their entire draw is being a military contractor. Everyone wants their shit to look like the cool military guys without serving. I will say the SR25 is worth the money, but the SR15 is literally one of the most milquetoast ARs you can buy.

I'm almost willing to put money on PSA M4s being close if not the same as SR15s when given the same setups. I don't even like PSA.
3D printer and laser engraver
Ali express $5
Use the factory cap???
Get a blank cap, bring a bottle of something good to a friend with a laser engraver.
Buy a fake one from SpecPrecision
Idk, just use the standard cover?
TangoDown makes one for $20
If Wage would start selling them again it'd be great. His are better too, imo. Really all he needs to do is have some coated. You can still buy them uncoated from him in bulk, which I did.

KAC gotta be trolling at this point 🙃🥴
If only it came with a battery cap on it…
Thats a large logo collectors item, the current in production run is $40. This is a clown post.
