But, they're Russian.
Do I need to explain this?

The new Zenith clones are good to go. I have one and love it :thumbsup2:

Just because I haven't given them a plug this month,

To 'build' yer SBR, you could either:
a) buy an ASP and add a stock (after swapping out the buffer tube, of course), or
b) buy an ASR and an ASP 8" barrel (it's interchangeable and is available threaded from the factory). They don't advertise a factory-made SBR, but maybe they would make one on a Form 4 purchase. Their selection of calibers is getting pretty impressive:

If I had OPM, I'd be looking at a .45 ASR-based SBR; until then, I'm really enjoying my ASP 9mm.

Agreed. Although if it makes any difference, a friend who is an unapologetic HK fanboy has had tremendous luck with the latest Zenith MKE copies. For $1500 or whatever they are now, they're pretty cool.

Only real "bad" thing about that platform is the rollers and preventative maintenance as time goes on. Although, how much trouble they will actually give in a quality weapon is debatable.

I went with a SIG 553 and a 553 clone in 5.56 because I like the look. They run, are quality actual Swiss Arms weapons and/or built using Swiss or quality US parts and run fairly reliably. They do blow a lot of gas with a suppressor and in 5.56 are pretty loud even suppressed, but again, an SBR for me is a for-life choice and having a gun that I enjoy looking at, fondling, and shooting was imperative, so I settled on the SIG/SAN/Swiss Arms. Very happy.

The street price for a clone is around $1200-1500 and for the "real thing" about $2,800.

If only they had a 9mm version. Not big on the XI or the MPX versions. Too "AR" for me, and personally for a for-life weapon, newer Sig quality control has me uneasy.
