DPMS LPK, a worthy value?

[ratled]

Anyone with any thoughts on the DPMS complete LPK? I'm sure the trigger isn't the sweets thing going but at $58 from Midway USA is it a worthy value?

Any other candidates for a basic LPK?

TIA

I've been looking at this:

Better grip and comes with BB.

I put the same parts kit in a S&W lower I bought last year and everything fit fine. If there are any issues or missing parts Midway will make it right.

I have a few just as back up field repair kits.

Do you plan on running the Geissele + LPK special again?

Maybe, maybe not. That was a spur of the moment deal.

Being that LPK's were $200+ not that many months ago, I really wouldn't sweat sixty bucks.

I guess I should post something meaningful as well...I generally put Geissele triggers in everything I can, but used a STAG lpk in a low-cost build and it had a nicely cut and polished trigger that was the best USGI break I've felt.

I've used several DPMS kits and quite a few come with slightly oversized (out of spec) roll pins. They are still usable but an extra PITA that in my opinion isnt worth the 7 dollars you would save over a CMMG kit or something similar.

If somebody gave me a DPMS kit for free or they were half the price I might run with it but I wont ever buy one nor recommend one to anyone else again

I wouldn't touch PSA's lower parts kits with a 10' pole. We had a calgunner post recently about cracking his polymer PSA hammer after the first ever dryfire/function check with a new upper. Cracked in half once it hit the firing pin/receiver.

PSA or NFA (New Frontier Arms)?

If that's the link you're talking about, then it's not PSA:

PSA units work fine, on sale $49.99 with moe grip. They do not have a plastic hammer, it's steel. I think the previous post refers to the hammer breaking the polymer lower.
