    If you have the extra coin a Factory KAC SBR would be great. I have a factory BCM and LMT SBR and a second of each in the works as SBR's I just need to do the paperwork and find $400 for the damn stamps, I've already had them engraved.

    I always buy factory registered SBR's. If i ever had to sell them I'd imagine they'd be easier to move than something with my name engraved on it.. Also, I have the factory KAC 11.5 SBR(block 1) I can certainly attest to it being a nice lil rifle.. I'd say if you can get one jump on it.. I came really close to buying a second one.

    I'm with Grant, go with the factory built. The upper/lower fit on both my factory Noveske's is perfect. The Form 1 SBR I built is so so on upper lower fir. Used a VLTOR MUR and a Noveske stripped lower, its just ok.

    I bought both my SBR's from Grant.

    This was my first.

    Agree with the above.

    As long as you can get what you want I'd say factory is the way to go. I have two sbr's right now. One is on a vendors lower they registered for me with my upper on it and another is an lmt I form 1'd and then got a 10.5 lmt upper for. If I did the LMT again I would have just bought a factory one.

    A Form 1 lower you've built, might as well write it into the will. That would be my justification to go factory for SBR. The stamp is more valuable than the receiver itself, and to any buyer the hassle isn't worth it unless you're taking a bath on value.

    Between the LT and KAC units - honestly not sure, but both would be pretty nice, I'm partial to the KAC unit because you get a more flexible lower, and E3 upgrades on the upper, and you could buy just the LT upper after the fact (and have it as a second upper for your KAC SBR lower), which strikes me as the ideal option.

    When it's an option and not completely cost prohibitive I would go the factory route.

    Not that there's much of a second hand market with SBRs in general, but having someone elses individual name/trust engraving on it really kills it!

    I did both... Factory was easier and will probably sell quicker, as several members have already mentioned. The wait sucks either way.
