Hello, I'm YAL (Yet Another Lurker) who is coming up for air in this gargantuan storehouse of info to make his first post. My first question:
Out of the plethora of vendors that will sell me lower parts kits, who actually knows where their products come from?
To expand: If I were to purchase a lower parts kit from Federal Arms Corp. (FAC) in MN, I would be purchasing a lower kit that was made by DPMS. If I got one from Model 1 sales, J&T, M and A parts, etc. - Where do their parts come from?
My caution is due to being exposed to quite a few opinions of board members who all seem to warn that "out of mil-spec" or "chinese" parts are bad, bad, bad, and should be avoided at all costs.
Will you help me avoid this?
Thanks in advance for your help....
PS: at this time I am not looking for a "these guys are better" response, that will be a future question... :)
