IIRC they had 'em on their site last year. I'm open to being wrong though.
SAW still sells Colt kits don't they?

We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
I rarely buy LPKs that have trigger groups. Obviously I buy from G&R because of this.
Before I got hooked up with Daniel Defense, I would buy from companies that were known for having all of the correct parts in the LPK. I can't tell you how many times that I used to start assembling a lower and there was a part missing.
I choose G&R for my personal rifles because I drop in a Geissele and a BAD A.S.S. right away. There truly is a difference in the springs and how the parts fit with a G&R parts kit.
When I am building a rifle for someone else, I use a DD parts kit. I choose these because there are always the right parts in the kits. Years ago, I would use Rock River LPKs because there were always the correct number of parts. Saying that the triggers sucked on these kits would be an under statement. Stag kits were always missing parts when I got them.

I have used the GandR kit and was good go. I have also used Daniel Defense and Stag. No issues with those either. I currently have Colt hammer and triggers because I got them for a good price.

Grant,
No trigger guard on the Colt LPKs? (Now I want your LPK and a Colt LPK. I am definitely a "get both" kind of guy.)![]()

We offer a high quality, 100% USA made, lower parts kit. FN does not make our LPK. Our fire control group is made by the same company that also supplies them for FN. Our standard LPK is competitively priced, and we stand behind our product.

Thanks,
So then what are the differences in parts that would distinguish one LPK from another? Why did you select one part supplier versus another one in your home brewed high end LPKs?
Spring quality has already been mentioned. Adherence to military standards? Forged versus cast versus injected parts? Material and heat treating/tempering of the pins? US versus foreign (3rd world) produced?
So Colt and DD both get their fire control parts from the same forge, what will Colt do to them that DD might not as far as final "finishing" goes? Will neither perform final finishing on LPK parts since that step would be considered part of the final assembly of a rifle? I have just never been able to get a trigger pull out of an LPK that is as smooth as one from a factory built rifle (be the rifle a Colt, Daniel Defense, Smith, or even DPMS).
I am fully ready to believe that there is a wide range of differences concerning quality in LPKs (I have seen some first hand), I am just trying to wrap my brain around what they are.

“The ruling class doesn’t care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake.” – former U.S. Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R-Wy.)
Between my rifles and those built for relatives, I've ordered four G&R kits. No failures or problems, the best range of options and great prices. Thanks Grant!
