    Mine all look like the one in the middle, and I believe all of them need to be properly staked. Based on your chart, I guess my 2 Stag uppers don't have the proper extractor springs in them either. I've already ordered those. I'm still going to order an M16 BCG from Larue for my Stag upper that I'm running on my LMT lower. At least then I'll have a BCG for when I finally get my LMT upper. Will the pocket MOACKS be enough for what I need to do, or should I order the regular one?

    What are these anti-rotation pins from KNS and why do I need them?

    I prefer the pocket MOACKS

    You don't need the KNS pins.

    Okay, last question. DPMS lower parts kits, are they okay to use? I have a couple LPKs from M&A, should I use one of these on my final lower build instead?

    Okay, so I can't find any MPI'ed bolts at the moment. For my Stag BCGs that look like the BCG in the center of the photo, what if I used BCM's uprgrade kit? The one with the shot-peened extractor and all that? Would that be enough? I ordered the 3 pack of springs from BCM with the inserts, these are the ones I need, right? I thought they were supposed to have 5 coils? Maybe I'm counting from the wrong spot but the ones I got seem to have 3 or 4 coils. And again, what about using the DPMS lower parts kits?

    don't have an answer, but will throw in another vague comment ... i seem to recall a conversation with an M4C mod who commented that DPMS lower parts kits have a lot of pot metal in 'em.

    but i'll wait for clarification to confirm this.

    I guess I'll just use one of the M&A kits that I have in the bin.

    Rider, don't let the minutia get you sidetracked.

    IMHO what you need to do is pick one carbine and make that your best quality go-to gun. Get a quality BCG in the gun, get a quality LPK in the gun, ensure that all the parts are staked that should be and that the gun has the right buffer, etc.

    If I were in your exact shoes right now, I'd use the LMT complete lower and look into selling off something else and/or trading with someone to get a Noveske, LMT or BCM upper. If you feel that you need a rail system on the gun, use a Larue or Daniel Defense.

    Personally, I'd rather have at least one top-shelf gun with top-shelf parts on it than 5 that I'm trying to get up to speed.

    THEN you can start working on the others.

    Yeah, that's my plan. I've been thinking about the Larue stealth upper with an 18 inch barrel and 13.2 or 12 inch rail. Partly for the availability. I'm waiting on an LMT from my local gun shop, and I'm got my email up for the notification on Bravo about the LMT or BCM uppers. Money's not the issue, its the availability. If an LMT upper popped up right this second on Bravo I'd order it w/o hesitation. Until then I'm going to bring my Stag uppers up to the best standard I can get them to.
    On a side note I did sell my DPMS Panther lite 16 yesterday for $1300. Ha.
    I'm considering selling my other DPMS franken-kit-gun with the Troy MRF rail on it, I can get 1200 for it tomorrow, but I'm thinking about holding it for sale post- future AWB. Thoughts?

    oh yeah, and what about the extractor upgrade kit BCM sells for 29.95? Would that work for my 2 Stag BCGs, since I can't seem to find an MPI'd bolt?
