LPK, which one?

[japartridge]

OK all, I'm needing to get myself an LPK for my first AR/AR Build. I'd like something good, but I don't need a match trigger... this will be a "working" gun, I may start this one out as a 9mm with a mag block and later get a dedicated 9mm Glock mag lower and convert this to a .300Blackout (yes Evan I'll help out too!)

So, DPMS, Spikes, Palmetto, or something else?

RRA, quality parts, decent price and never have had a bad kit.

I picked Spike's Tactical's Enhanced LPK for my SBR build, and I've been very happy with it. It came with some additional parts that I was going to add myself anyway, so I saved a bit of money overall.

I've heard some folks have had fitment issues with DPMS kits. IIRC melensdad has some horror stories.

PSA is fairly new to the game, so I don't have any direct experience there.

I've also know that Cwood has had good experiences using RRA kits.

Most brands with good Quality Control would be a safe bet. I'm sure with a little searching you can find out if one has issues.

I have had good experiences with RRA, Stag, and Palmetto. I just helped someone build one with the Palmetto kit last night and it hasn't had any issues yet. Everything seems to function well and not have any issues. We'll hopefully be shooting it soon, but so far its been a good one.

I have had very good luck with STAG and Daniel Defense. DPMS has given me problems. A couple of Palemetto LPKs are on the way to try out.

If your just looking for a quality LPK then I would go with RRA as well.

I've built three with zero issues.

My local shop has been doing builds using RRA LPK's and they have had 0 complaints. When I do my build that's what I'm going to use.

I always use RRA LPKs and have never had any problems.

Anyone know if the hammer in the RRA Lower is 9mm friendly?

 

[sgreen3]

Ive had real good results with the Spikes LPK'S, nice fit an finish

Same here, RRA has always been quality for me! And they continue to provide good results after many rounds.

 

[GlockRock]

RRA all the way.

Colt, G&R, Del-ton, RRA. I haven't had any trouble with any of those. The Del-tons work pretty darn good on a budget build. The G&R feels very good after adding a kns pin kit.

Depends if your using a ramped 9mm bolt. If so, any rounded hammer should work fine. If your using Rock Rivers, a dedicated 9mm hammer is necessary.

I like the RRA LPK's, especially the 2 stage for the price. My favorite one currently though, is the Spikes Enhanced. Very smooth single stage trigger, with a ton of upgrades right out of the box.
