Where is a good place to get an AR15 stripped lower with the large pin holes?  I can't seem to find them anywhere.  I dont know if it would be worth it to get one with the large pin holes or with the small holes and have a smith drill them out?

That's what I thought too.  I guess I'll have to get a resonably priced one and have it drilled out.

WHY???????....you have a large pin upper......reducer bushing should allow you to use it with a small pin lower

I have a Colt trigger, hammer and disconnect from a Colt AR15 that I had swapped the trigger on.  I sold the Ar15 but still have the trigger set.  I sent it to Bill Springfield for a trigger job and now I am looking for a lower receiver to put it in.  The Colt pins are .170" as opposed to the commercial pins that are .154"

I stand corrected........guess I need to go for remedial reading comprehension classes I kept thinking takedown pin holes

have you considered selling the .170 fcg, and replacing it with the .154?
doesn't cost anything to try on the EE.
a .170 Colt  fcg fron colt's way higher than .154's from aftermarket vendors.
i don't have a problem with the .170 per se., but i'd keep all my rifle parts common if i could.
