I was told that I should get all RRA parts cause I have already purchased RRA lower (and just got it).
Definitely want RRA upper.
What about RRA lower parts and the stock?
Does it has to be RRA in order to build perfect rifle?
Dumb questions I guess, I'm a newbie.

All LPK's have been fine, in my experience.  My first choice is always RRA because they include the rolled-up roll pins instead of the split roll pins (much easier to install).  Also, Pete at Legal Transfers sells the RRA $75 shipped.

ETA:  There is no such thing as the "perfect rifle".

Thanks!
Yeah, I guess I'm too concerned about everything cause it's my first.
I found RRA LPK for 70.00, I think shipping is included if purchased with the upper.

I've used several RRA LPKs and I've been very happy with them.  For stock parts, check out Bravo Company or PK Firearms.  They've both got a wide variety of fixed and collapsible stocks.  If you are going the collapsible route, I would recommend a Mil-spec receiver extension as you'll have a wider variety of stocks to choose from.

I've used RRA, RB Precision, Del-ton, and J&T. Out of those the RRA and RB Precision seemed to be the best, but all of them worked fine. I just bought 2 DPMS kits for $50 and I've got a CMMG on order, so we'll see how those compare in the next week.



(The FCG parts in the RB Precision kit had the same forge markings that the RRA parts had)

Have used RRA, Stag, DPMS.      RRA is the best, Stag second and DPMS third.  Not sure if the RRA parts are CMT/Stag or not, but  some of the RRA parts look different than the Stag.     Also RRA individually packages the part groups so there is less damage.  Pete at Legal Transfers is the way to go for LPKs.

DPMS was good for retro builds as the ones I used were gray, but I was unhappy with the bolt release assembly and the trigger was "gritty".

Get Rock River Arms lower parts kit. Better yet, get one from the trigger guy, that he has already tuned.

Bill Springfield does an excellent trigger job for like $35. I plan on sending a few of mine his way pretty soon.

Who is the trigger guy and how do you get in touch with him?

I just finished my first lower and noticed the trigger pull is 10# range.

Yeah, I still have a nasty trigger like that in my first AR, and it really limits the accuracy potential.
