ALG trigger, BAD-ASS selector, colt small parts to round out the rest. It will be about $200 +/-.
Shelf level doesn't translate to parts quality. Just saying.
First, it is uncommon (IMHO) to find ALL the parts to be in spec with the TDP. Then we get into machining quality, finishing quality, "feel" and reliability.
What I would do (if you couldn't find any good LPK's) is visit Brownells and buy as many of the internals from Colt as possible (less FCG): http://www.brownells.com/manufacturers/COLT/index.htm
Then buy an ALG or Geissele FCG.

That's honestly a bit surprising. From my perspective as an engineer, it seems like it shouldn't be that hard to get such relatively simple components in spec consistently. We do it in aviation with much more complex components. I guess they just don't want to spend the $$ and QC time on it.
You are correct. Like any gov't supplier, Colt is tight fisted with their proprietary data (as well they should be to protect their business). I should think of that automatically after all the times I've tried to get some minimal scrap of data out of Hawker-Beech or Cessna only to be told "Come back with $100k (or more)" :rolleyes:
