[ARCHIVED THREAD] - lower receiver kit

Posted: 3/27/2006 2:08:13 PM EDT

I'm sure there's a forum in which this topic lies, but I do not have the time or patience to search for it. My question is which company should I buy my lower receiver kit from to start my first AR15? I've heard RRA is best, some say DPMS. Does paying more get me a better kit in this situation?

Thanks folkshug.gif

IMHO, both are good. RRA LPK is about $10 more than DPMS one.

Stag or Bushmaster are good kits. PK Firearms has Bushmaster lower parts kits for sale here, I think. Check the Equipment Exchange

Stag lpk not DPMS. Bushy are a little pricey. have not tried a RRA. Used Stag on my last build fit great

Stag lpk not DPMS use crappy roll pins that you really have to beat in realy hard. Bushy are a little pricey. have not tried a RRA. Used Stag on my last build fit great

I've built three rifles w/RRA and one w/BM lower parts kits. RRA was better quality. The BM trigger guard is plastic.

ETA: You won't regret going RRA IMO.

RRA is what I have used in the last several builds. I have not had any trouble with any of RRA kits.
