I have one of there factory sbr receivers. Their billet work is really nice...my upper was a little tight at first but opening and closing it a few times worked it self out. I would buy again but I'd get the enhanced model...I ended up putting a magpul trigger guard on instead though.

You should be happy, I know I am.

They are a solid company. Buzz is the only one I know there but he is a good guy to deal with.

I have a SBR receiver and a complete AR as well. Nice stuff. Buzz's Clandestine can is not bad either. I think they have a budget 5.56 can coming out soon.

Wait...so this company will sell you a factory lower ONLY without the upper as an SBR? I did not know that was possible. It really looks like they will do that on the website.

That is awesome!!! I have always wanted an SBR but dont want to engrave my trust on the lower and I want to build it in stages so that it is not as big of a cash blow. This may be the way to do it!

That was exactly how I did mine...in steps. This was so it didnt hurt the pocket book nearly as bad and I got to build it up exactly how "I" wanted it on my time and at my price. It lets you look for the parts you want and get the best deal.

It's not, but some companies haven't gotten the memo (or disregarded it if they did).

When I bought mine from them they even admitted on the phone that it was agrey area that the BATFE hasn't ruled against and then asked what length barrels I wanted on the forms, I told them and the forms reflect it.

I agree, Buzz is a pleasure to deal with at C3 Defense. I have their .22lr can and was apprehensive at first. I thought it was a bit loud but after 100 rounds, my can is as quiet as more expensive ones.

I have shot it on my .17 HMR and it does great. It even enhanced accuracy. Shoot it a lot on Buckmark and 10/22.

Also, am waiting on my form 4 for a stripped SBR lower to build a stubby.

I highly recommend C3 Defense and will keep a look out for their .223 can.
