how much you think it took to put that together?

[Blcklightning 11]

Nice! I do like those ACE stocks!

DPMS lpk (I'll never use this again).

 

 

What's wrong with the lower parts kit from DPMS?

 

i thought most of these kits are pretty standard. I'm thinking of getting this kit or the stag kit (from Vinny@HW) 'cause they're cheap.

I compared against the Daniel Defense bought by Maksim and those DMPS are inferior quality. I also had to fit the safety because the hole for the detent on the safe position was deeper than the one on the fire position.

Congrats... Their will be others

The Daniel Defense LPK is mil-spec (which really means it meets DD's standard for mil spec, and not necessarily the cheapest way of manufacturing parts for an LPK), and is fairly cheap-- $70-80 depending on where you look. Like the bolt carrier group and bolt, don't skimp out on the moving parts (even if it is a plinker) in the lower. Good/great quality these days doesn't really even have a price tag that will make you cry (unless you go with a Colt or LMT LPK... )

 

Really nice looking AR though, and, yea, there really is some serious BRD going around right now

The DD LPK is bar none, the best LPK I've had the pleasure of using. Not only are the parts in-spec but it also includes the Magpul MOE enhanced trigger guard. I haven't been able to confirm this but from what I've heard/read, DD makes the components of the kit in-house.

How is the stock trigger on the DD lpk? I bought the SSA as per your recommendation, but the stock one looks not bad...

The trigger group from one LPK to another is more or less the same and break at about 8.5lbs. The big thing for me is they're single stage triggers and I prefer a two stage like the SSA. Additionally, the SSA breaks closer to 4.5lbs, nearly half the weight of the LPK trigger.
