I'm buying a new SBR upper to complete a POF USA registered lower. Trying to decide between a PWS 12.75 upper or a similarly sized KAC upper. Which one would you get and why?

I have both and they are both excellent. Thats a tough call.

Suppressed I like the piston PWS better, un-suppressed the KAC is really nice.
PWS is 10.75" my go to gun though.

Another suggestion is to order a KMR rail, barrel, receiver, and build your own awesome upper for about $700

Do you have any other uppers? lengths? what are you mounting and whats your main use going to be? I feel like KAC is a little overpriced but its a great upper.

Did you not already pick up a PWS upper???

ive got a 16" PWS rifle, but I'm looking to add an SBR upper to a POF lower that will eventually host a can.

I've got both.  The KAC is a very nice and well built rifle.  It sits in the safe.  The PWS gets the call for hard and social use.  Runs hard, reliably, and very clean.  Accurate as a laser beam.  It is particularly nice with a can.

Do you want a hard charger or a safe queen?

Apples and green peppers.

Piston vs DI.

Quality and customer support, KAC is the clear winner.

Absolutely. Nothing wrong/against PWS, but KAC products are above and beyond rock solid.

Shot KAC rifles, they are nice rifles but I wouldnt trade my pws for anything. I find the PWS very sexy but kind a sleeper sexy if that makes any sense. To me, KAC is a blonde, the PWS is a brunette...IMO there's just something about brunettes lol.

Im sure either way you're going to be happy. KAC is a company that has a great rep, and they make beautiful rifles. Just expensive.
