Emphasize careful

I have a brand new one, safety was a bit loose so swapped twice to another detent and cracked the channel on the third go trying to fit one. Looks cool but mines a paperweight

A repair method similar to this could work.  

Or we can replace it for $65.00

Damn.  Maybe that's w/ the fancy trigger?  Saw some w/ standard triggers at the show yesterday for $229, I think it was.

Two different vendors at the last fun show had them on their tables.
Both wanted nearly $300 for them.
I'll probably go for one at some point just because I think they are cool.

Far as I could tell they were not.
Then again this was almost 2 weeks ago(?) now and I wasn't aware then that an upgraded version had been released.

We're still waiting for the "dozen disadvantages"

Two months not enough time to compile the list?

Picked up my KP-15 lower today and am really impressed.  Significantly nicer than my CAV-15 lowers.  I wish I could at least have the same grip on my CAV-15s that this lower has.  Much better fit to my hand.  It was easy to install the KE LPK and the modded safety made it nice. Can't wait to shoot it.

Got my KE arms LPKs in and wow; I’m impressed. The LPK is very nice quality. Picked up the 45 degree safety because why not. I have an MBT-2S back ordered but after reading about folks having issues with those in the KP-15, I’ll probably put that in my poverty pony SBR and get a KE Arms DMR for my WWSD knockoff build.

I've got a La Rue in the boy's .22 LR w/ no issues.  What issues were folks claiming?

I was not at all impressed with the KE Arms LPK I bought.  When did you buy yours?  What was the packaging like?

It was shipped USPS priority in zip lock baggies. Eh, I wasn't considering the packaging, more than looking at the fit and feel.

I got my KE Arms LPK from Brownells.  Small ziplock bags in a box.  No quality concerns with anything in mine.  Longer hammer pin was a nice touch.

One, I built into a KISS carbine.

They sell more than one style of LPK, which is why I asked.  Mine was their "GI" parts kit.

They look pretty cool, but I do wish they offered a shortened LOP version at the same price. Having to pay extra for that via 3rd party just bothers me for some reason.

Plastic molding, how does it work?

A friend brought his FDE KP15 lower to the range today with an already existing upper on it. Now I want one of those.

The whole idea is silly since I already have a black one and 30 other ARs.

I am trying to resist ordering one.

Don't know how long I will be able to hold out.

Seeing this thread does not help

I thought it worked by molding the largest you could want, then people have excuses to bubba at home with their dremels.

Did I miss a memo?

Action45 needs to borrow a Dremel.

I wish them well but I'm personally not interested.

I will be buying however, one of their Young BCG's though as I do want to try that gas key and carrier combination with a recoil lug and no staking, to see what I see.

@Action45, there is a company shortening the LOP on these. https://www.echo93.com/lower-receivers
ETA, sorry, I see now you already mentioned 3rd party... derp...

When I first got my mil-spec(ish) KP-15 lower, I thought the trigger was terrible. Heavy, and just terrible. Fortunately, a few dozen rounds at the range has it broken in nicely. I'm going to keep it as-is.
