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.
I completely agree. You get a whole lot of value for the money in a complete 5.56 KAC. Try to piece together a similar rifle using top-tier components, which will not have the proprietary KAC enhancements, and one will find that they've spent significantly more than a complete KAC.
OP I would buy a complete rifle.
