    Should have bought Noveske :facepalm: do they make LPKs?
    Yup, but you have to buy the complete rifle :p

    I use Stag LPK, they're a bit better quality and easier to install. all the roll pins are tapered already which makes it a TON easier to install in the lower.

    Also are you saying palmetto is cheap?

    I didn't say they were cheap. I'm still not quite sure if I'd buy one though. They're very affordable and seem to run pretty well, I'd have no problem recommending one to someone else.

    The only problems I've been having are with the LPK. The upper is great

    The only LPK I would NOT buy is DPMS. Just for the simple fact I've had a few friends that built rifles with them and the springs seem to break. And then things don't quite work right and you have to tear it back apart. And for $5 more you can get a Stag, RRA, or sometimes a little more for a Spikes LPK.

    Honestly, if it were me I'd send it back and get something different. :dunno:

    I just know too many people that have had the little parts break from DPMS. But their complete rifles seem to be built better than their parts kits

    How do you return a $1 part?

    Ya im kinda a :n00b: even though I built it I have allot to learn, but my major problem is I just need to stop upgrading the darn thing

    Na, you can keep doing that because that's how you learn more. Just take your time and slow down when putting stuff together.
