    If you are in the market for a high end rifle why would you piece together an expensive frankengun? Get the complete rifle.

    What do you get for ~800?
    2-stage match trigger. Value: $150-$200
    LMT SOPMOD Stock. Value: $100-$200
    Ambidextrous Selector. Value $50-$75 (KAC Version: $65) Useful to righties.
    Right side bolt release. Value: Priceless unless willing to Dremel your lower, or put a lever through your trigger guard. Useful to righties.
    Left side fenced magazine release. Value: Priceless, available only on a few high-end lowers such as the AXTS. Useful to righties during clearing and stoppage reduction.
    Ambi QD End-Plate. Value: $25-$50
    KAC Combat Trigger Guard. Value: $30
    Total immediate accessory/upgrade value, not counting installation time: $355-$530

    Intangibles: The lowers are made from custom forgings, machined in-house, with all dimensions, clearances, and tolerances under our control and subject to our QC. You also get an awesome roll-mark.

    I own LMT and Colt lowers as well, and at this point, the only lower that I would consider using other than a KAC lower for a KAC 5.56 upper is the AXTS/Radian ADAC lower receiver.

    Why does the 16" Mod 2 versions come with the MOE stock instead of a SOPMOD?

    Since not all of my rifles are equipped with KAC lowers, I really don't train using the L-handed features with my Right.

    YMMV

    I believe that the Mod 2 and LPR M-Lok comes with the MOE SL pistol grip and MOE stock.

    The KeyMod version of the Mod 2 and LPR come with the LMT SOPMOD.

    I have both, the SOPMOD is a more substantial butt stock than the MOE, it is also heavier.

    I put one on my Mod 2 w M-Lok, took it off, put the MOE back on. Took the NF 1-4x off, went with a RDS, to keep it as light as possible.

    OP, just buy a Mod 2. Screw a MAMS on the end, get an AXTX charging handle a quality sling.

    Good Luck.
