Just today I looked at 5 lowers trying to find a good one. 3 of them had take down pin holes with raw metal in them that looked like someone took a file to. Very rough machining. I saw pieces of the LPK that looked like junky parts with crappy finishes. I guess they are now using trigger pins that have a Geissele style divot on one side, and flat on the other. No problem with that but the pin holes in the lower were not machined smoothly. Out of round, didn't look like the bit made it all the way through, etc
Only about half the staking points actually had a stake in them, and half the stakings were crap...one I remember was so light it didn't even push any metal out. Another looked like a 5 year old did it.
I have 2 LMT lowers Ive purchased previously, and they are of much higher quality. I guess I get to write LMT off the list now....:(
