Thumbs up G&R Tactical's Lower Parts Kit!

For about the last five years, I have been collecting LPK's from just about every manufacturer trying to find ones that I liked. What I found is that some LPK's had a couple quality parts, but the rest were not. Other LPK's were 100% quality, but their price was way too high. Couple this with manufacturers not being able to deliver and I was at the end of my rope.

So what to do? I decided that I was going to track down where every quality part was made from. For those that do not know, most companies do not make their LPK's in house. It has been a long road, but I am finally done and believe that I have put together one of the very best LPK's available.

The two main components in a LPK's that need to be quality are the bolt catch and selector. For these two components, we went to LMT. One of the things we like about LMT parts is that you know where they come from as they stamp their name into them! We also worked out a deal with Magpul so we could use their Enhanced Trigger Guards in our kits. We feel these are so superior to the common trigger guard that we are not going to even offer our LPK's with the cheaper trigger guard.

Here are the options available and their price:

1. LPK (includes lower parts with no Magpul TG or hammer/trigger group) $48.98

2. LPK (includes lower parts & Magpul TG, NO hammer/trigger group) $60.68

3. LPK (includes lower parts, trigger/hammer group) $86.13

4. Full LPK (includes lower parts, trigger/hammer group and Magpul TG) $97.12

How positive is the selector? I.e. I hate mushy feeling selectors. I like them to click into position without much effort and have a very positive tactile feel.

It is an LMT so it is the best (positive click without having to force it).

Well done. I am continually frustrated by trying to find a quality LPK at a good price that is also in stock.

Cheers!

Amen to that. It got so bad this year, that I was thinking of stock DPMS LPK.

Right now, I am setup to deliver at least 50 of our LPK's.

I'm glad to finally find a good LPK in stock. I just happened to need two at the moment. Scratch 2 more off the list.

Do you or do you plan on selling individual lower parts? I understand it may not be cost effective to do so.

I intend to list every part in our LPK on our website. I have the prices done, just have to put them up.

Correct on #2. No mods needed.

One of the interesting things we found out over the years is that a lot of the selectors out there do not work very with with many 2 stage triggers. This is why we chose the LMT selectors as they are made correctly.

The pivot and takedown pin looks different than lower kits I have seen. The finish is much darker. Are these LMT pins?
