The Surplus Arms and Ammo lower came in last weekend. Talked to Steve at SpreadfireArms and set up a time to meet.
Cudos for Steve for 1. being early 2. For being a nice guy. I'll be doing more business with him in the near future.
Caution.....This is what happens when you end up with a set of FGC springs, a hammer, and spare trigger guards. Oddly enough some parts were replaced with the new partial LPK.....
Lower looked good and Steve kept in boxed up until I was there to open it myself. The lower looks very good. My only complaint is the fish is a little thin compared to my RRA and STAG lowers. From the factory there were a few small spots that were bare metal (tiny spots) but that kind of thing doesn't bother me. I may eventually duracoat it or AlumahydeII it in FDE. The lower was in spec and the LPK went in with zero drama. I was supposed to wait until this weekend to put it together, but I couldn't wait.
I picked up a trigger from my brothers spare parts bin. Bought:
Used A1 stock with buffer tube, buffer, and spring.....$55 (shipped)
Partial LPK from Brownells........$35 (shipped)
Used MIAD grip.......$20 (shipped)
Surplus Arms and Ammo lower....$69 (shipped)
Spreadfire arms FFL fee.......$10
So lower cost is = $189
Now to start saving some cash for the 20" upper or a 16" Dissy if BravoCo ever decides to make one!
