So I have read a lot here on AR15.com. In general I have been a snob when it comes to AR parts. In generally would buy my LPK's from Specialized Armament, because I know Ken would only sell Colt parts. My lowers are limited to Noveske, Mega, Colt, LMT, one Double Diamond, one LaRue, and SLR. I have also helped a couple of friends build some lowers as I have all the tools necessary. I have used some DelTon LPK's on some of my friends lowers (their purchases), and I always seem to have some issues, but nothing serious. So, I needed a pair of LPK's to finish a pair of lowers for myself. In this case a pair of Noveske's. So I purchased a pair of DelTon LPK's as that is all the local dealer (Turners Outdoorsman Torrance Ca.) had. As I stated above, I read Ar15.com often, and I felt the minor problems with the fitment of DelTon parts was just that, minor fitment issues. I decided to purchase with confidence. While using a "C" clamp to push a roll pin through the trigger guard the receiving end of a Noveske reciever snapped off. The roll pin was too big. Thanks DelTon! Tldr: DelTon parts are out of spec and cost me a Noveske receiver. |

I have used them many times..no issues. How in Gods name do you folks keep breaking those trigger guard ears??!! I always use a wood support and a small wood mallet and put grease on the pin. And use light taps to drive into place. Receiver ears are VERY fragile. I would not use a C clamp to install, each twist of the handle would make my ass pucker....
