Lower parts kit

[gomer pyle]

unfortunately i sold my noveske ar (he was original owner and wanted it back). part of the deal was i got a DD MK18 complete upper. i have found a spikes tactical stripped lower. now my problem(i have never put one together, always owned complete rifles), i don't know what parts kits are good, decent, stay away from, etc. i need some recommendations of brands and also where to find them. if i have read correctly i will need a lower parts kit and a buffer kit(pistol).

I like CMMG because the parts are separated into different color coded bags for the different installations. Have used them on the two I've put together, helpful for an idiot like moi. Trigger seems to be regarded as pert good, too. Then again, those are the only ones I've used, and still have one more to do with same kit.

 

DPMS makes a popular one, apparently the PSA kits are fine too (although they seem to leave something out of some of them now and then). Spikes, Rock River, Bushmaster. I don't know if there is really a "bad" one.

 

Prob is, of course, finding any kit right now,  and of course they're at least 20 clams more than best price in the recent past.

 

If you do find one, here are feller's two vids I used, makes it pretty easy:

Complete LPK with mil-spec buffer/stock at PSA. "only" about $25 more than pre-panic.

Take two or three weeks to get it.
