The only thing preventing me from building out my mid-length Bravo Company uppers is the shortage of lower parts kits. Short of getting taken for a ride on GunBroker, what’s the best strategy for snagging a lower parts kit? I’m thinking about placing an order with Rock River, but figure I could be waiting for months.
Go to the BCM site and have it notify you when they get them in stock. I got a couple from them last week like that.
I ordered off DPMS website. They didn’t have them in stock, but I got mine pretty quick, and they didn’t charge my card til they shipped. I also got 2 sets from M&A, when I talked to him he said he had them in stock, but he was backlogged so it would take him a couple weeks to ship them. He sent them out within a week. This was back in late November for both these instances though.
We are missing two parts in our LPK’s (and have been for some time now) or we would be able to offer you ours. :mad:

Thanks Grant. Your parts kit is the one I really want. However, they sell out so fast that I don’t have a lot of confidence that I’ll be able to get one.
The only kit that Bravo sells is DPMS. Is this a quality lower parts kit?
DPMS would NOT be my first choice, but at this point and time (if you are in a hurry), you kind of have to take what you can get.

I ordered a Stag/CMT parts kit directly from Stag and got it in about two weeks. This was about a month ago.
That’s the same as a year back in Obama years.
Ordering directly from Stag is still worth a shot. When I did it the run on guns and parts was already in full swing and no one, but no one had any lower parts kits.
Grant,
Other than your LPK, what would be a good LPK? I am spoken with you about getting one of yours, and am patiently waiting for my turn.
I just talked to them. They’re at least five weeks out on lower parts kits, and want $17.25 just to ship one to Georgia. :mad:
I’ve been contemplating just ordering bulk of each component one paycheck at a time until I have a good kit built up.
I think springs you might be able to get a ton of at once (or one huge spring and cut to length) and the same for roll pins.
The hard part is going to be the actual parts.
So - has anyone done this ? what springs can one use for the AR that could be ordered from mcmaster carr? or a roll pin assortment?
I actually am considering doing this and then putting some catch assemblies (mag / bolt) on order. FCG seems it will be the hard part.
LMT, Colt and even Stag would be what I would get.
As luck would have it, we got in a small batch of Stag LPK’s so you guys better then them while you can!
We also got in their 6 position RE’s! :eek:
C4
are they up on your site? I was just getting ready to place an order.
Yes, under Stag.

We also got 20 of their lowers! :eek:

Found the LPK, just placed my order. You caught me just in time to pull the Surefire G2 out of my cart and put in the LPK instead.
How much are the lowers? Can’t find them on the site.
I got two ordered !
Thanks!!Grant
I still need the two I have pending,I hpoe you get the remaining parts soon.
Just ordered two of the Stag LPK’s. Thanks, Grant! Glad I didn’t have to go with DPMS.
And they are gone!
