After replacing the standard triggers in two of my Eagle Arms lowers with the RRA Match type and recently purchasing two mighty fine lowers, Mega and Stinger (from Iblis). I now have two spare complete fire control groups, one is no name and one Armalite and no other lower parts for them.

My question... Is there anywhere that I can purchase two lower receiver parts kits less the FCG's. I sure hate to pick through and order the individual pieces separately.

Or, would I be better off selling said as new FCG's in the EE and getting complete Lower Kits?

What would a FCG be worth anyway on the EE?

As usual, thanks for your input. You guys RULE!

Sure, you could sell them, but you'd probably be better off keeping them as spare parts.  As for value, figure they're worth 75%, SHIPPED, of the cost of a new set.

I got more hammers, triggers and disconnector then I care to count.  I keep parts just in case.  Troy is right, keep it for parts, maybe one day you might want to build another lower or rifle.

Good advise, thanks Guys. The spares won't work in my Colt Pre-Bans, so that leaves the Oly Car-15 to keep them for and other lowers if I get more. Now to figure out who's Lower Parts Kits are the Best.

"Now to figure out who's Lower Parts Kits are the Best"

One answer. Bushmaster's.

My Armalite lower parts kit went together with a plastic punch and a small brass hammer, fwiw.
The springs were all the correct length, AND you could tell them apart hehehe...not like some kits I've seen.

I second Armalite.  I have ordered mine from Quantico down in your neck of the woods.

I'm a HUGE Bushmaster fan.  However, I've used Rock River Arms kits on two lowers now and am convinced that's the best kit for the money.  The quality between the Bushmaster kit and RRA kit was the same, but the RRA kit is cheaper.  You should be able to pick one up for ~$55.  I think I saw an add on the board today (Denny's Guns maybe?) for RRA kits SHIPPED for $54 or $55 with $1.00 going to ARFCOM.
