    6920 Lower parts

    hey guys,
    Who has good replacement parts for a 6920 lower? I'm looking for the typical replacement parts that are good to have spares of.

    Thanks

    If you want real Colt parts, they can be had at Specialized Armament and Brownells. Which lower parts are you thinking of?

    Colt parts are fine unless there's something better, specially for springs.
    I guess I'm looking for everything, to be honest I'm not sure what parts I should have as spares. If it's up to me, I'd get one of everything just to play it safe.

    To give you an idea, for my upper I have 3 complete LMT BCG and 1 or 2 additional bolts with the extractor. I also have another 2 or 3 additional extractors with the ejector pin and springs, I have plenty of extractor springs with black inserts, and plenty of gas rings.

    That;s what I'm looking to do with the lower. At this point I don't have anything, and my OCD () is making me uncomfortable about that.

    Install a Geissele trigger group, and keep the colt parts as spares

    that's not a bad idea, thanks. But I would still like to know where can I get either a kit with all parts or just separate parts. At least this will give me somewhere to go should I need a part in the future.

    If I have that info now I can order the parts now or know where to go should something s**t the bed.

    Specialized Armament has everything Colt, including complete spare LPKs.
    If it is on their website, it is instock.
    It took them 60 days to ship my order, so if you do order from there, patience is a virtue..

    Brownells also has a lower repair kit (everything minus the FCG), but is on near perpetual backorder.

    Three BCG's? A couple bolts I can understand. A carrier will outlast everything on that rifle.

    I'd buy a Geiselle trigger and keep the Colt firing group as the spare (as noted above). Pick up a spare bolt catch, that's about it.

    The suggestion on the Geissele trigger is well taken.

    I'm more concerned about bolt parts; a good source for extractor springs, D-ring, and piston rings.

    Just out curiosity, why would you replace the factory trigger with the geisselle? There is nothing wrong with a GI trigger. Could just get a spare mil-spec trigger and call it a day.

    I think my order is between 60-90 days.
