What lower parts kits to use?

[Shrockp]

I am in the process of planning my next rifle build, I have everything decided on but do not know who's lower parts kits are good and who's to stay away from. Any info would be greatly appreciated

[GaCop]

Stay away from anything made by Blackthorn, Vulcan or whatever name their using at the moment. I've used LPKs from Del-Ton and have had no problems to date with over a dozen builds. Rock River, Stag, LMT, they're all good.

All of my recent builds have been with RRA LPKs simply due to availability. I've never had a problem with their stuff.

Thank you both I was planning on RRA, Double Star or DPMS but I may look into the Del-ton kit as well. I was kinda leaning toward the Double Star as they are from about 25 min. from where I live and I know where to get them almost all the time but I would rather save money on them as I can order a LPK and pay shipping cheaper than buying it from this particular shop... they have an employee that makes me mad about every time I go in there.:mad:

Don't bother with a cheap lpk, get somthing you can be proud of, a cheap lpk will just lead to problems. I like my armalite lpk, but id probably get a daniel defense or colt if i was to do it again. Id stay away from del-ton and dpms.

I would also skip del-ton and DPMS. I assume that Daniel Defense is good because their other products are good, but I haven't used one myself. I have used several Stag/CMT kits and tend to like them as a decent middle-of-the-road kit.

The last couple I've done were Stag. No negative issues to report.

[Shrockp]

This is why I asked. I am kind of leaning towards either Armalite, Stag, or DD.[:D]

I prefer Stag. Have not had any problems with them so far.

G&R or WOA (from ADCO). I suspect the latter is mostly RRA - both are $40 minimized - perfect if you're going to dump in aftermarket triggers, grips anyway.

With MOE Grip/Trigger Guard and Armalite NM Trigger, can all be had under $200.

I've had good results with both of these (combined with MIAD and GSSA)

[Shrockp]

I will have a different grip... either a TD or a Magpul grip... but as for the trigger I will be using a standard military type trigger. I will use a Magpul Enhanced triggerguard.[:D]

I have had good success with Armalite Kits, RRA and Stag I have also used lesser quality kits when spares are needed.

I've used RRA kits and have zero problems. Just the bolt catch pin is a b!tch to put in.

[Beaux]

I'm no pro builder and I've done 2 with DPMS and 3 with Stag,. For what ever reason the Stag trigger seems to be much smoother and a hair lighter. I will use Stag from now on.

Aim Surplus has an interesting LPK. Reference Here. (http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XRGLPK&groupid=53)

It's a stainless steel LPK. I personally have not used it, but it looks interesting. In the coming weeks, I'll purchase a set to try out.
