KE Arms KP-15 E93 Lower Receiver
Echo Nine Three was established in 2010 by Joe Elledge. After many years of Law Enforcement service, Mr. Elledge went on serve as an Instructor for the Afghan Border Police as part of the US Department of Defense’s Counter Narco-Terrorism Program. While deployed Mr. Elledge trained the Afghan Border Police in the use of Russian weapon platforms (AK-47, GP-25, RPK, PKM, NSV and RPG). With an already established background as a Police Instructor and Armorer. Mr. Elledge soon discovered that the AK series of rifles had a shortcoming, the ability to connect a modern sling system.
The idea for the V1 sling adaptor came from an incident where a Chinese Type 56-1 (under folder) that was carried by a fellow Instructor had the rear swivel break off. With no other point on this weapon to attach his single point sling. The fellow Instructor challenged Mr. Elledge to devise a way to connect the sling. Mr. Elledge took a small section of 550 cord, cut a notch in the rear of the grip, ran the 550 cord through it creating a loop. This was posted on the Internet and became a popular DIY modification.
The V1 is essentially a metallic version of this simple idea. The V1 was made to fit most AK variants (solid stock, side folder, under folder and various aftermarket types). It could even be modified to fit the popular AMD-65. As the V1 was adaptable to most AK variants, it was not optimal for many. Echo Nine Three then set out to refine and expand on the original idea. Echo Nine Three now offers 13 different sling adaptor variants to accommodate all of the AK variants, shooting styles and even sling types.
To compliment the sling adaptors, Echo Nine Three created a line of slings that was born of the same in theatre experience. Both the Dual Mode Sling (DMS) and Seat Belt Sling (SBS) are optimized to be cross platform pieces of equipment. They are simple, rugged and effective. They are perfect for use on M4’s and Shotguns as well.
Echo Nine Three will remain dedicated to it's craft of innovation, education and service to the shooting community.

Technical Information:
- The KP-15 receiver uses a Carbine buffer and spring. Do NOT use anything other than standard carbine buffers and round springs in the KP-15's.
- The Take Down and Pivot Pins have the detents built into them; eliminating the spring and detent holes in the lower increases durability.
- The Buffer detent (should you choose to use it) is held in place with a 5/64” Roll Pin
- The KP-15 is compatible with all Mil-Spec Fire Control Groups
- The KP-15 is compatible with cassette style match triggers including the KE Arms DMR and SLT units. The retention system of these triggers with D-Clips in the bushings to retain the fire control pins makes them better suited for use in the KP-15 than other designs that require captured pins.*
- The hammer pin area is wider for durability; Standard AR15 hammer pins can still be used but KE Arms offers a longer hammer pin for customers preferring a flush pin for aesthetic reasons.
- Safety selector spring and detent load from the top and then the selector is slid over them. Standard selectors can work but removing them can be particularly difficult. KE Arms recommends the use of their optimized mil-spec selector or optimized ambi selector to make removal easier. Follow KE Arms assembly guide for further instructions.
- The KP-15 is compatible with standard AR15 uppers in calibers including .223/5.56mm NATO, .300 Blackout, 7.62x39mm, 6.5mm Grendel, 6.8mm SPC, .350 Legend; make sure you use the appropriate weight carbine buffer for your rifle to eject casings at 3:00-4:00.
- The KP-15 is compatible with 9mm blowback systems with a 5.4oz carbine buffer minimum. Use heavier buffers as long as your gun can cycle reliably. Failure to use this minimum buffer weight can damage the lower.
- Big Bores: .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, .50 Beowulf, .50 BMG: We will never test these calibers enough to guarantee function and durability over time; use at your own risk.
