Difference between Rockriver Arms and Bushmaster LPKs?

[swhatb]

Looking at purchasing the Bushmaster LPK or the Rockriver Arms LPK. Both would be a standard trigger, no two-stage trigger needed. So... What's the difference between then, quality and functionally wise Also, what's the difference quality and functionally wise between Bushmaster and Rockriver Arms A2 Buttstock? All the parts look the same but the price is much different. Just looking for reliable lower part kits/basic parts to install...nothing fancy; simple build.

If both are single stage trigger you will not find much difference at all in terms of quality or functionality. I've built with both and both are excellent.

I'd say either one...I'd go with the cheaper price of the two.

Those are both good LPKs.

I have a personal preference for Armalite.

What does 2-stage trigger not needed mean?

I'm guessing this is going to be a semi expensive plinker?

Just make sure you are comparing apples to apples with the buttstock, and A2 is an A2 and the only difference is if you are buying one without the all the accompanying hardware (buttplate w/ trapdoor, extension tube, A2 spacer, spring and buffer, A2 screw)

Rock River-Arms, Bushmaster, Double-star etc.. virtually all the same

I would not put DoubleStar (J&T Surplus) in the same league. They're nice people, but their stuff is generally on the level of Model1, Sherluk, OlyArms & other bottom feeders, with month-to-month variations in quality.


IMHO if you have a decent accurate upper, pay extra and get the RRA 2-stage trigger kit. I love mine.

Quality wise.... hands down... RRA!!

Function wise.... they function the same...

I had both sets in my hands side-by-side one time (actually I have 4 sets that time, Bushmaster, Stag, DPMS, RRA).... you can see the difference... you can feel the difference.... don't CHEAP out on these parts... the difference is SO small... (1box of 20 rounds XM193)!!

The Bushmaster one is generally more coarse, got more rough edges.... while the RRA one is all smoothed out....

Bushmaster is very close to Stag...

DPMS is the worst...

RRA is the best...

[Solidsnake87]

They are the same basically. I have both and use both. I honestly don't buy anything but Stag LPKs now because the quality is the same and they are a lot cheaper.

I bought a Bushmaster LPK and while it worked just fine the sharp-edged plastic trigger guard always bugged me. To me it made their kit seem unnecessarily cheap. The trigger guard was swapped out for an aluminum one and I never bought another Bushmaster LPK.

Thanks everyone....now to place an order

[trinydex]

is rra's site the best place to order? i love the fact that they don't force you to take the nasty a2 grip

[hk-p2000]

can someone elaborate and the 2 stage trigger what are the benefits.

lighter trigger pull, but still very safe because it's a long pull (2 stages).

Does anyone feel the bolt catch lug on the Stag LPK seems kind of small?
