| Are there any real differences from one manufacturer's build kit to another's? I'm looking for one that doesn't have a fire control group or grip. I've found a few. And although they look nearly identical, the prices are vastly different. Like one is $30 and another $89. |

If you are buying it without a FCG or grip I wouldn't put much thought into it. I think PSA has one for a good price and it's GTG.
ETA: PSA kit. It has a grip but just don't use it. You can't beat it especially with free shipping. |

I am a big fan of this kit. I ordered it by accident one time. It has a nice trigger for the price and it has an ambidextrous safety.

Quoted:
Yes there is a difference. Personally I like Stag or Armalite. I've also had good experience with Spikes and DD. Anderson and CMMG are no go for me.. What is so different for the CMMG? I have not used them, but always heard good reviews. Also the Anderson. On personal experience DPMS and lately PSA lower parts kits are my good to go lower parts kit. A RRA kit I recently used, had a trigger guard roll pin that I would not use (too tight and no clearance in the pin, it had no gap), I used another roll pin to complete that lower. I do not recommend RRA lower parts kits, because of this. Every other part was high quality IMO, but because of the trigger guard roll pin I would not recommend them! |
| I use Spikes on account of their style of roll pins. I've found the spiral pins to install much easier than the cheaper roll pins. My son just purchased a BCM kit. I have no doubt it'll be just fine. I was looking at a Black Rain Ordnance kit on their Web site the other day and they sell one for $239. That includes a Magpul MOE grip, set of KNS pins and their cassette type trigger. Now, the trigger alone is $199. So it may be a great deal considering the pins, grip and the rest of the LPK is $40. |
