I have a LMT 10.5" on my SBR. It is flawless. I have a PSA upper on one of my other rifles (not a 10.5"). It is also flawless. I don't think it really matters much, I'd get the PSA, save some money, and have matching parts. That is me, YMMV.

I've been looking at the Psa 10.5 for a mk18 build and I think I'm going with it just to save the money. With that extra 115 I can easily find a kac ras to go k. The upper.

My PSA upper has never had one issue... I'd buy it again. |

All my PSA rifles have been outstanding. Methinks you will not get $115 worth of extra quality out of the LMT, but rather just name recognition and a little better resale value. Go with the PSA and use the extra money for accessories. Lord knows the MK18 is an expensive clone.

Even keeping the hammer forged barrel aside. I like to keep things one brand if I can.  |

I plan to go PSA.
I'm still shopping for a good rail that keeps my A2 post though. |
