Quoted:
It's time for a new LPK, where are some places to buy? Brownell's has FA parts, but they are insanely expensive. If you want COLT LPK Brownell's and SAW are about the only two places you can order them online from. I'm sure you can get DPMS or other unknown sources of full auto parts from other places. |

I get mine from Bushmaster. Unfortunately, they require a copy of your Form 4

FWIW .... when I got my Colt M16A1 in '94, I replaced the entire fire-control system with brand new Colt* parts. Since then, I've put more than 50k rounds through it, and other than regularly replacing the hammer/trigger/disco/recoil springs every 7-10k rounds, I have had zero malfunctions and there is almost no visible wear on the FCG components other than slight finish rub marks. A machine gun is best defined as a device to empty magazines as rapidly as possible. You don't discuss how it shoots; instead, you talk about how it runs. I would rather pay an extra $100 for FCG parts that are known to be good, and ensure that my MG runs. And that means buying Colt. Your Mileage May Vary. 
*OK, I do use a JP trigger and JP springs, but everything else is 100% Colt. It is boringly reliable, which is how I prefer my MGs to be. |

I can order a LPK from CMMG for $65 + shipping. There's not so much extra metal on the hammer and disconnector to justify the huge increase in price. Maybe i'll start with a new set of springs. |

In the last decade of posts here, I've lost count of the number of folks who are trying to get their M16s to run right with non-Colt FCGs. They end up buying a second, Colt set to get 'em to run. But maybe you'll be the lucky guy who has no problems with the DPMS FCG. Hope so, for your sake!

The selector can be sticky sometimes, and it seems to be happening more frequently. DPMS? I don't think so. |

What is wrong with DPMS M-16 lower parts?
I've got a set that I bought in a blister pack back in the 90's and it works fine and never had an issue. Is the issue with more recent parts or did I just get lucky? ETA: Fixed a typo. |

I've used DPMS M16 LPKs with no problems. DIAS. Not saying they're the best, but they worked.

My how the world has changed. My first LPK required making about a dozen phone calls across the nation until I found some guy named Mike who shipped me two for $40 each. I felt like I was trying to score drugs.

Can I safely assume it's legal to sell my old one? If I can buy one from the Internet, I don't see why I couldn't sell mine on the Internet.

They aren't controlled; you can sell it.
They are only dangerous to own if you also own an ar15 receiver and do not possess a legal compatible machine gun as it could, and probably would, be considered constructive intent by the ATF. |

Anyone? I've sold a couple of sets, but only to folks who I know either (a) definitely do own M16s, or (b) are FFL/SOTs. In other words, I'm careful. They are not worth much and thus the $$$is minimal, and while they may lawfully be sold in most states, it just ain't worth the potential hassle. IMHO. |

Bump, any sources for that DPMS kit for 70 bucks? I'd rather spend 70 than 120.....

Just an FYI, we got like 7 sets of DMPS FA parts for some post samples and every one of the selectors were machined wrong. I'll post a picture later if anyone is interested to see the issue.

If money isn't that tight get a geissele SSF trigger.

It's purring right along with a new Colt FCG.
And then the carrier key needed further staking.  |
