The last two builds I put together using ArmaLite stripped lowers & CMT/STAG LPK's went together fine, but the front takedown pins had alot of play in them (The entire pin could be rotated a few degrees past what I have been used to). It is good to now have the option of the LMT "Basic" kit, so I can choose the trigger/grip/etc. for future builds.
I don't think you understand my friend. The Colt small pin LPK can be had at SAW for $175 (the cheapest I have seen). The LMT is $152. You aren't just paying 15%-25% more, you are paying 200%-300% more for a LPK.
From my perspective, as long as the RRA LPK's continue to provide the fit and function I have experienced in the past, then I will continue to use their product. As I have so often indicated within the discussions of LPK's, there is currently no solid empirical evidence to suggest that the Colt/LMT kits provide a 200%-300% increase in reliability over the RRA. For me the cost/value ratio just doesn't justify that particular expenditure. But I certainly can appreciate why folks would be willing to go with the Colt/LMT kits.
And Warrior, thanks for the data. That's the best fit and function data I've seen provided to date. Now if I could just find some failure rate data. BTW, I am in agreement on the 2-stage RRA trigger, it is problematic at best. I personally prefer stock triggers, but then 27 years in the Army gave me that appreciation. :-)
No problem man. I think if they went together fine your probobly GTG. I've only had 2 failures where lower parts actually broke in use. One was the bolt catch that popped out witha broken roll pin and bolt catch. the other was related to a lower that stress cracked down the side during a 3 gun when I dropped to prone, so it's hard to say wether or not the LPK was to blame since it was probebly the lower cracking that caused it.
Well, I am not sure just yet, but I think that we will be able to offer something in between Stag prices and LMT prices with quality being towards the LMT side.
I have been fed up lately with the lack of quality parts and having to pay a small fortune for the good ones.
