Lots of people buy cheap so numbers of sales don't tell the story. I prefer to go by people's experience who've built "lots" of em.

Thanks, I'll remember those. If the LPK is good, $90 is a deal for that. For a guy who wants an integral trigger guard anyway.

FWIW, as I understand it there aren't a lot of people making forged lowers. They're just made and then roll marked for whoever. In fact, we contacted several companies last year and they were willing to make us our own lowers with our "company" name and custom serial numbers if we ordered enough.
They'll even mark them BluedreauxAR&Awesomeness, with no mention of the real manufacturer if you've got the right FFL and pay for the variance.

For a stock LPK, the trigger pull is very good, breaking at 6 pounds. One draw back is they seem to have weak hammer springs. I've had to replace two of them with a stiffer spring.

6#'s is good for a AR triggee? I've never even shot one.
Can you get triggers more like a bolt rifle? 3-4#'s?

Yes, for a stock trigger 6 pounds is excellent. Yes, there are plenty of other trigger options. Geissele triggers seem to be the favorite.

As I've said before, we've used about any brand out there. And I'd think I might qualify as having built a few of them over the years. I just dont see the difference. Maybe if it was combat or such, but we run em hard in competition and as long as its a lower thats right, IE holes drilled right and lower milled right, its all the same...

Well PWA built some with the pins drilled crooked and broke hammers pretty often, RR put some out with the grip screw drilled at the wrong angle, made the gap wide enough to eat up your finger even with an enhanced trigger guard.
Combat or not, they have to be machined correctly. I just asked who they were cause they are a new player in the AR market. New players selling the cheapest products don't usually have a good record. They spent 40 years in the automotive business, only a few years in the gun industry.

MM, I build on the cheapest forged aluminium stripped lower with forward assist I can find. Anderson, Delton, DTI, ect.
Never had an issue with any of them. You buy lowers with forward assist? For an AR? Who makes those?

Typically the "slick sided" lower, with no provision for a forward assist are a little cheaper, which is why I qualified my statement.

My first Zeiss scope was a lemon... did not keep me from continuing to buy them though... Point was as long as its right, its fine, no particular name is needed and not worth paying for IMHO. Imagine my expensive Colt lower gun shooting great groups and then laying my cheap EA company lower gun next to it shoot as good if not better groups.... Parts kits have had crooked holes before too.. I saw that as early as the early 80s or late 70s sometime...

I think you caught me before I had my first cup of coffee!! Receiver with no forward assist: ![[Linked Image]](http://3sa5i9f3x4c2e0lvx2wzk808.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/new_upper-copy.jpg) Receiver with a forward assist: ![[Linked Image]](http://3sa5i9f3x4c2e0lvx2wzk808.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/ar15-a3-upfor_-stripped-upper-7075-t6-6.8spc1.jpg) They just might not be lowers.
