Hello everyone, I believe I have finally put together a list of parts for my lower that I will be happy with. Seeing as this is my first build, please let me know your comments or suggestions. I will probably be going with a LaRue trigger, the Geissele is a bit out of my budget. Most of the items I found on Joe Bobs Outfitters. Thanks

MAGPUL AR-15 CTR Buttstock Mil-Spec Diameter - Black - $51.95

Geissele and many other companies will have discounts on 4th July week. Wait to buy then.

Geissele usually does 30% off.

cmmg gunbuilders kit and regular h2 buffer. just my two pennies.

Thank you, that would put it back in the budget!  I will have to look out for that one.

Thats a good deal for the builders kit.  What is the difference between the H2 and the Spikes T2, and would it still work with the Spikes Spring and Buffer Tube?  Thanks for your help.  I am just trying to get as much info as possible before ordering everything.  The upper will be even funner!!!

The LaRue trigger is supposed to be pretty nice (haven't tried one myself) but if you really want a Geissele, DPMS has the G2S for $109 right now.

spikes uses powder in the buffer, it's just non-standard which irks me, i don't know enough to really talk but some people say it causes bolt bounce or something i don't know.

they are interchangeable though yeah and spikes puts out quality stuff otherwise

I just put together a spikes crusader lower last night using the spikes builder kit and that ALG act trigger and I have to say that the spikes lower parts kit is one of the nicest kits I've used. The roll pins are great and go in with ease. I will be using them from now on.

Not sure if this is still out of your budget, or if it's already been posted, but dpms is currently having a sale on the  GS2 triggers for $109.00 (orig. $165), contract overrun.

I just paid $119 shipped for an early b-day present  :)

ETA: somehow missed the post, sorry

Thanks, the more I look at the Geissele the more I really want it!  I'm trying to save on a few other parts, by buying on here to bee able to squeeze in the trigger!

Thanks, I checked that out but I'm leaning toward the SSA-E.  Its seems pretty sweet, and has great reviews.  4th of July is right around the corner, so hopefully I get lucky.

Thanks for the advice, you just pushed me to go ahead and get the Spikes LPK.  I was able to find it on here with out the trigger group for $40 so I saved a few dollars.
