| I'm getting my stripped lowers in soon. I want the best lower parts kit for the money. I want to go with a Colt kit, but SAW (only place I could find them) wants $150 and it doesn't even come with a pistol grip! I've looked at prices on RRA, Armalite, Olympic, Bushmaster and DPMS. All fairly close in price. Which one would you use and why? Just want a standard kit (no match triggers or anything). I will be using these on more than one lower and I want consistancy in quality, fit and finish. |

I have used RRA no problem. I wouldn't have/ most people here haven't had problems with RRA, Bushie Not many people I've heard of use Armalite lpk, but I haven't heard anything bad about them. I think DPMS is probably ok too. I have no experience with OLY and they get sort of mixed reviews on this site, but no word on their lpk's. I certainly wouldn't pay premium prices for colt parts. The only things that I would buy that are colts are their bolts or barrels. |

I really like Colt's quality, but I won't pay $1500 for a weapon with an out-of-spec lower. Unfortunately, the parts are also too high and hard to find. I'd buy a complete kit, if they offered them. Maybe someone will take that idea and run with it. Anyhow, XD_Fan, what's the finish like? I was thinking it is more of a ghost grey finish on the steel parts. I think I bought a front push pin from them a couple of years ago. If LMT would release LPK's, life would be good. It would be nice if the manufacturers would show close-ups of parts, instead of diagrams. |
