So Colt and DD both get their fire control parts from the same forge, what will Colt do to them that DD might not as far as final "finishing" goes? Will neither perform final finishing on LPK parts since that step would be considered part of the final assembly of a rifle? I have just never been able to get a trigger pull out of an LPK that is as smooth as one from a factory built rifle (be the rifle a Colt, Daniel Defense, Smith, or even DPMS).
I am fully ready to believe that there is a wide range of differences concerning quality in LPKs (I have seen some first hand), I am just trying to wrap my brain around what they are.
