I got a hankering to build an SBR so I started looking at parts and stuff.

The copy of Shotgun News that I picked up happened to have an article about the PlumCrazy lower.   It looks like a good deal.   I did a search on this forum and only found one thread referring to it.   Any big negatives?

As for uppers.  I see that there are 14 inch barrels, 11 inch, 10 inch and even 7 inch.   What's good and bad about the different lengths?  

I want to do this without going broke and I'm not worried about tack driving accuracy but are there any suppliers that I should avoid like the plague?

Thanks.

I personally would not risk a plastic lower for a SBR.. it breaks and you are SOL

Welcome to ARFCOM.  I suggest spening a month or more just looking around and reading what is here.  There are tons of options out there and really there are few bad options but personal choice is a tough one to work out.



My shorty is all Bushmaster and it has a 11.5-inch 1:7 twist barrel.  Works great and I have never wished for something shorter but mine is full auto so perhaps if it was semiauto I might like something smaller but I have a SBR Mini UZI for small duty.



Good Luck but you just asked me to summarize everything on ARFCOM to help you build a SBR.  Just way too complicated to answer in a quick post as I could write books on the options you have.

Total junk.  You are likely going to be married to this lower for life since a transfer of it would cost more than a replacement.....

So register a good lower.
