    Maybe that is a favor in disguise? Keeping one from shoving an unnecessary piece of plastic into their lower would seem to be a good thing.

    I'd agree...in a perfect world!

    They are useless.

    I looked at a quite a few stripped lowers last year and chose the M&P-15. After seeing many more since then it's still one of the best. Really sets your build apart from just any lower. I'd buy another any time.

    I had problems with a lower and they fixed it quickly by replacing the fire control. I love their receiver extensions. Any specefic problems we should be looming out for with LMT ? I have the lower and one of their 10.5" SBR's and we have two of their uppers on guns at work they're all running well.

    I don't like the accue wedge either. A little slop is fine for me.

    Any particular reason?

    Functionally, yes; however if it stops a bit of annoyance factor to the user...then great. But they ought to drop the 'accu' from the name.

    On that point, does anyone know why some lowers have this high 'shelf' design (such as the m&p)? Just a different manufacturer?

    Keeps you from putting in a RDIAS, which most of us cant afford anyway. I know its in the forging so maybe its whoever's forge they go with. I dont know if some, like Colt, mill it out or if the forging is actually different. I think some choose to leave it for liability reasons, which is retarded.

    I appreciate the info. I have another question if I may ask. What lpk do ya'll prefer? I always use a standard set up on the trigger. I have used dpms lpk's in the past and the last two lowers I built I found them to be gritty. I would like a good smooth pull if possible with a factory pull. Can I pull the fcg out and polish it? I apologize if I ask too many questions but I want to go in the right direction with these builds.
