Are they all pretty much the same? Del-ton is $55, Bushmaster $69, Armalite $70. Except for price, is they any one that is better quality then the next? I'm referring to a complete lower receiver parts kit. Thanks, 1strail |

One advantage of RRA over some other LPK's is that the roll pins for the bolt release and the trigger guard are low force spiral roll pins, not really stiff slotted ones. These pins aren't subjected to any forces that would tend to dislodge them, so they stay put just fine. They make assembling your lower easier, and minimize the risk of damage. I'm sure there may be different places that provide these pins, but I don't know of any other than RRA. As was already mentioned, RRA also uses metal trigger guards and seems to make them to tighter tolerances than some I've encountered. As a last comment, some parts like the magazine release (not the button) can come with a grey-green Parkerized finish that doesn't match black anodized receivers very well. RRA uses a fairly black finish that matches better. I haven't tried many brands, but I haven't had any problems with RRA stuff and they definitely have distinct advantages over some I've encountered. |
I just ordered one from him as well as a hogue grip to start the purchasing of pieces for my first AR build. I thought it was a pretty good deal overall after looking at many different places/prices. |
