    I don't need all the crap that comes in a lpk. My roll-pins aren't going anywhere. The buffer retainer & spring on the other hand... it would be nice to just have a bag of 20 or so of those things 'cause they go rogue once in a while. Midway wants $2 each for those things and that's just rediculous for what the part is. Safety detents? C'Mon, that's not a $2 part & its not rocket science to manufacture one to spec.

    If you go to sears they mark up small parts to ridiculous levels.
    Drill bits and cut off wheels are marked up to 300% from actual store costs. What I am trying to say is normally small low cost parts are marked up to a higher % rate than more expensive products .

    Palmetto State Armory has a couple of parts kits. http://palmettostatearmory.com/field-repair-kits.php One of them may fill the OP's needs. Next time I order from them I plan on ordering one of the armorer kits. For now, I have a complete lower parts kit awaiting build.

    I did a search on the quality of CMMG and it looks like its hit or miss when it comes to their rifles, but since this is just small parts, this should be at least decent quality I'm assuming? Any thoughts?

    Honestly a dentent is a detent. I honestly don't have a problem with any of the small bits and peices I've ever got from them. At least they have pretty decent prices and you can get spares for just about everything. I especially like $1 hammer springs.
