Obviously there are differences, otherwise why have the different designations. I'm however, very interested in those differences. I'll list what I think is correct with each, Please fill in all accurate information I miss. Thank you

1 - Krait, Their original benchmark offering that had initial trouble with the regs, has been fixed.
2 - Krait L, As far as I know, just a krait with a longer barrel.
3 - Krait X, This is the high power version with the adaption for slug shooting with possible different barrel and power increase.
4 - Krait Lite, I have no Idea the benefits of this model, except price point, what's it giving up?
5 - Krait pro, newest version, extra rails, more adjustability as far as I can tell.

That's it, OK Krait fans, please chime in and help my uneducated self! LOL!
 
Not an owner yet (shortlist for my next), but #4 is nice wood stock and disassemble-to-adjust reg vs externally adjustable reg and "black rifle" esthetics. Bunch of things to consider about EU ordering, but Balistas has more variants shown and better pricing than any US-based vendor. Easier one-stop window shopping if nothing else.

You want to be careful when comparing pricing from EU vendors because there is a nice suprise at delivery in the manner of taxation. My Epic Two purchased through Balistas ran about an extra $225 at delivery for Customs fees and such.

Yes, that is to be expected. Unfortunate, but expected.

I have never seen a Krait Lite with an unattractive stock, and that one's gorgeous. Have you had that off at any point, and is the rifle under it identical to the standard Krait that you remember?

When you pull the stock off it exposes trigger linkage. So not the same as the standard. The dang stock was wrapped in bubble wrap and the stock shows the wrap imprint. So not gorgeous at this time. I just tried wd40 no workie dang it.
