I am putting together my first AR, and would like some opinions.
I have a srtipped CMMG lower. Which lower parts kit should I buy? CMMG, DPMS, or some other? Not looking for a match trigger or any thing fancy (yet), just want a basic, good quality LPK at a reasonable price. Any input is appreciatedm. Jim |

I've used RRA, Stag, and DPMS Lower Parts Kits. This is how they stack up.
#1 CMT/Stag: If it wasn't for a slit in the bag the parts came in I would have found all parts present with an extra detent pin for the takedown pins. Found the detents in the Stag kit box after Stag sent me two more detents gratus (free). Excellent quality, no problems. #2 DPMS: No missing parts, quality seemed a little on the low end, but for the best price of any LPK what do you want. ($< $50.00) Good trigger and worked well. #3 RRA: Lower Parts Kit was missing magazine release spring. Got a replacement spring from dealer who sold the kit to me. (5 day delay) Disconnector was rough and had to be "worked" to release the trigger correctly. Trigger has the worst pull of all three kits owned. It was the most expensive kit I purchased. That's my experience. 
I know RRA visits this board regularly and I'm not trying to get anything from them. This is an objective report from a former professional gunsmith. (Now working only for myself.) I know that I could complain, but I have the experience to make the proper adjustments to any of these parts to make them perform as I desire. |
