I have bought individual lower parts from Del-Ton and a few others. I have bought a few trigger/hammer groups from a few different manufacturers. In ten years of building, I have never had an issue with any of the parts I have bought.
    I've been building AR's since the 90's and the only issues I have ever had were hammers, seems to be the weak point of any LPK.

    Solid. For the money, it is impossible to improve upon what you now have in your lower receiver.

    LPKs are almost all contracted out by the seller. For instance, Colt's LPKs are made by L.W. Schneider, a military parts contractor, and incidentally the same one who makes them for PSA/PTAC. That's where I get mine. All have been very decent mil spec triggers, and the prices are very good. I got a PTAC LPK last year for $30... that's pretty hard to beat. They have a Labor Day deal right now for a stripped lower plus a LPK for $85. It was a good enough deal I had to grab one. Their lowers are made by Aero Precision incidentally.

    I was just about to ask what the group's opinions are on Colt's FCG. I've used them for a long time in the Army but haven't really compared them alongside commercial triggers. I have the opportunity to pick up a Colt LPK that includes the FCG for $100 and was thinking that I'd like to have one FCG as a spare for a "rainy day." Grant's price is great, and I'll probably order one of those eventually too. I have one SSA that I'm going to install in my new BCM, and I know from what everyone says that it will be hard to go back, but I just don't see myself spending the money on a bunch of Geissele triggers these days.

    Don't really concern myself with where various LPKs are manufactured. example...Bolts A and B are both manufactured by company C. Why, then, do bolts A and B perform differently? Because, although both bolts were manufactured by C, they were manufactured according to different specifications (provided to manufacturer C by company A and, independently, by company B etc.). In my experience, I have seen a tremendous difference (albeit nuanced) between many of the LPKs that are out there. In my experience, Colt LPKs are the best. The safety selector, for example, has been tight and crisp on every colt ive ever used. That has rarely been the case with any other lower ive messed with. Most of my gear is BCM and BCM triggers and safety selectors are slop compared to Colts (DD is slop as well). They both function, but one is clearly more "correct" regarding product dimensions etc. When talking about such a small amount of money (60 bucks for a lpk when im going to be buying a trigger elsewhere anyways and don't need the FCG etc), im going to pick up the properly made item. Again, this is all just my experience. Just trying to let folks know some info that, if things were different, I would want to know, myself. Has no one else noticed consistent differences between various LPKs?

    My comment was about PSA and PTAC LPKs, not Colt. They have all been very good. I've put together two for myself using theirs, and at least 3 for other people. They are good to go. Made by the same mfg. that makes Colt.
