I don't want to give you the impression that all parts kits are created equal but if you stick with a big brand you won't go wrong. I've never used a Spike's kit but I am sure they are great. I've used a half a dozen PSA kits and one Rock River kit and have had no issues whatsoever with quality.

Take a look at the PSA Defender series kits, they include an upgraded trigger and often an ambi safety, and can also be had with an MOE grip & trigger guard.

I have used both PSA and Spike's lower kits, and it is hard to pick between them. Both are top shelf!
I have used others that left me wondering why I didn't get a PSA or Spike's....

I don't think you could go wrong either way. I've used a few PSA kits and all of them were good.

Only Spikes kits I have seen for around 45 do not have the trigger group.

I usually use Spike's kits without trigger group. I get them from AIM.
I have tried some other brands in the past and have had issues with parts. Usually the bolt catch is the one I notice the difference. It fits either too tight or sloppy. So far the Spike's fit perfectly so I stick with them. I don't really need the A2 grip. I have a drawer full of them but Spike's includes them. Red Barn Armory has good reviews but I never tried their parts kit. I have been tempted to try but for only a $10 savings I can't see why to change. |

Might as well get the psa kit with included grip and trigger guard as those are like 30 bucks by themselves and psa triggers are notoriously decent for basic triggers.

I think spikes w/o trigger is a good choice. Do yourself a favor and get a good trigger at the beginning, like Timney. You'll get something eventually anyway.
