I'm doing a .308 AR build. Mega Maten billet upper and lower, Wilson Combat barrel and bolt, LaRue trigger, Magpul furniture, Diamondhead forearm. Basically all I'm missing is the lower parts kit. I'm looking for suggestions on what you guys use and prefer. I don't need a kit that comes with a trigger.

Thank you

SOLGW they use allShmid parts and kns detents. PA often has them on sale for $29.99

Sionics builder kits are pretty much the same quality IME

BCM is good but no options without fcg

Colt is you can find them. G&R sells a lot of their individual components

This. The last couple CMMG kits I used were really nice. Don't use the fcg's tho.

I ordered ten Anderson kits a few years ago.

And they were all die-cast shit. At some point, they sold out. Ugh.

CMMG for me, now!

I picked up a DPMS LPK seems good quality. Got it for $15 new as an LGS was literally making room for new inventory. Seems quality haven’t used it yet.

Spikes is excellent.

I hear good things about SOLGW and wouldnt hesitate to use them.

I’ve built a lot of lowers, between my brothers and I probably 50 of them. We prefer the double star kits. They come with spiral roll pins and the trigger components look and feel like mil spec colt items. You’re building a great gun, spend a couple bucks more and get a good LPK.
