A question arose yesterday...Is the KX6 Special a top single or un-single or something else!!
thanx

It's just a fantastic gun.

So I hear....

 

[MBM1565]

It is a true SBT like the BT-99, Ljutic, and Ithaca single barrel Traps of the past.
It is not in O/U configuration so it's neither top or un single.

A "mid" single like a Kolar TS?

 

[smokintom]

So I hear....

I've shot one and actually shot it well. But talking to many shooters it's not a gun for everyone. High rib and roll over comb. Some people couldn't shoot one very good and others just plain love them. You really need to demo one and go from there.

 

[WadHopper]

Simple. Great gun. No complaints.

Wadhopper I wandered where you were!! LOL

I would say almost, here's why...for me it was a nice blend of an unsingle and top. Moves like a top but upon firing, I don't feel that upward movement associated with a top single which I think lends itself to the softer felt recoil.

I'm anxiously waiting to try my Stock Lock (thanks Gooch!) to see how it performs without the rollover comb since I'm not 100% sold on the rollover style (but it is comfortable). The only thing I question is the repeat-ability with a rollover, sometimes I feel like I'm gradually moving my head forward the longer I shoot (crawling).

So in our discussion, the people that owned them agreed to call them a "tweener!"
Do y'all (I'm sothern) agree with that?

Yessir, that's why I own one.

I demoed a Zoli, couple of times, loved the unsingle.

Shot the hell out of my TT15, unsingle.

Went to a top (Alf and Ljutic) and it felt like all hell was breaking loose when I pulled the trigger.

Shot the KX6S and thought "hell yes, that's what I'm looking for".

Wadhopper does the KX6 in the photos have a release trigger?

No, it's a pull trigger.

 

[pettifogger1]

Thanks. I was wondering if the stud on the side of the hammer and the finger in the second photo were a release. I guess they are for recocking the hammer.

 

[Dave S]

But half of the release trigger is there, you just have to add the hook at the bottom just above the trigger blade.

 

[pettifogger1]

Thanks. Nice simple mechanism.

Looks like the receiver is missing 75% of the parts.

Ideal candidate for a drop out trigger.
I know the rt version of the k80 wasn't successful, but I think it would have worked great on the kx5,kx6

Very true, because of release trigger issues. But what a sweet trigger the K 80RT has.

Keith Heeg made a straight adjustable comb for one of mine to replace the rollover comb which was a big improvement.
