Recommendation for a high quality lower parts kit?
Looking for a high quality LPK. I do not need the trigger. I am sure Geissele are top notch, what else is excellent?This message has been edited. Last edited by: c1steve,

Geissele is absolutely my preference. I’ve also built with Daniel Defense, BCM and even Aero Precision kits as well with good results. The thing is I really like some of the unique parts from Geissele’s super duty parts kits, so I end up upgrading other parts to match those of the Geissele super duty on these other builds and also to keep things consistent so end up spending more money in the long run by not just buying Geissele in the first place.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I'll second that, by choice I like the Geissele. But they are not always available and I've built ar lowers with stuff from DD, CMMG, BCM, SOLG, LMT and probably a few others. I have never noticed any difference. I run Geissele triggers in guns I care about, and Magpul grips so those I have to get outside the LPK.

my take is you can go with something like PSA and be just fine.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I only buy high quality parts, as I want to be able to count on the equipment when I need it. Even my AR-22 has a Geissele trigger. The parts will be for my AR #5, and each of these rifles I can fully trust.
I very rarely cut corners. The few times I have it has savagely come back to bite me.
