They're telling me to go forged for several reasons. One is durability. Second, of the lowers I picked most needed it's matching upper or wouldn't look right and its a high probability I'll get more then one upper. Third is like Gost said what looks cool now my kids may not like in 20 years ya know? A 70's Colt SP1 still looks good.
That sucks man. Not sure how old you are, but I know in Ky you can own shotguns at 18 then everything else at 21.

Another thing about SBRing a forged lower is that you can remove the trigger guard and have the engraving done next to the trigger.

Oh ok. Not to sidetrack the thread too much, but Is there anything wrong with going the billet route for an SBR? I was thinking about going the 300BLK route, thus the SBR route.
I'm 19 right now ... which sucks with 41p looming on the horizon ...
I've heard this thrown around here and there - is that a requirement to have NFA engraving for NFA items or something? Or does that come down to paperwork/covering your rear?

In hindsight I'm super glad I SBR'd at least 1 standard high-quality (Aero) forged lower. No ambi stuff, no special magwell that only works with certain mags, lighter weight than billet and stronger too for the same mass.
I use the SBR lower for several uppers so it's nice to have ultimate compatibility with everything. That's why I recommend a standard high-quality forged lower for your first SBR. Just my $.02.
If you want a billet one, you can always do another later on.

Maybe not the ambi but I would think a standard CMT set would be a good choice. I would have probly done that Noveske you have if not a CMT.

Particular reason against the ambi lower? Just curious.

Do the 2A one. It's the more unique of the ones listed and possibly would be the only SBR done here with one. Also, the integrated QD mount points in that receiver would work better for a pistol or SBR than they would for 16" barreled carbine.

I'd SBR a forged lower for compatibility for the widest variety of SBR upper options. This is something you'll have for the rest of your life, so I'd get the most common forged lower you can find.
If you have multiple SBR lowers, you can obviously change it up, but my first 2 SBR lowers were plain jane milspec ones.
