I have several different brands of lowers, but they all have Rock River parts kits with 2-Stage National Match triggers in them.  You can get parts kits with the standard trigger pretty cheap, but you will not like the trigger.  Unless you like to hit the trigger with a rock to get the gun to fire!  :twocents:
I absolutely support the RR parts/FC.
I have the two-stage in my RR Predator Pursuit and love it.
I am thinking the collapsible buttstock/picatinny porcupine crowd probably wouldn't get much benefit from it.
The ObamaScare2.0 gouging won't last long.

I think it is ironic that the NRA panic about Obama's first term is probably the single biggest reason for the spike in gun/ammo prices. Sadly I don't see them ever coming down again either. I can't help but wonder how much the NRA made in donations and advertising from the firearms/ammunition industries for their chicken little impersonation.

Obamascare2.0 didn't turn out to be as big as Obamascare1.0.  Look for Inventory Reduction Sales after the 1st of the year!  :twocents:

Yeah, I am also kind of worried that the NRA lost some credibility due to the first scare. As much as I disagree with some of their tactics they have still done more for 2nd amendment issues than any other single organization that I know of.

I did order the RR parts kit that came with the NM 2 stage trigger, because I will use the rifle to shoot Competitions. If it was just as a plinker or varmint rifle The regular trigger would be fine, but at 600 yards I dont want to be handicapped with a crappy trigger..

I took the plunge. I decided to spend a little more a purchased a Rock River AR-15 kit (CAR A4 w/chrome lined barrel). Now the wait begins.  :(

LOL > Picatinny Porcupine.. That cracked me up.. :chuckle: I think shopping around and buying parts seperate will work out cheaper than buying those kits.. Last summer I bought a complete DPMS oracle for 650 out the door at surplus, I shot the piss out of it, and then sold it for $750.. If I would have kept it for a while, I could have got more profit =). I moved on to the AK platform which I have learned to like much better. I still have an Olympic Arms k-16 stainless that is a keeper, but it comes out of the safe less often than anything else does. My Chinese AK is the one I fondle the most these days.. That and my Glock 20sf.

The Rock River is going to be my "learning curve" gun. I will build a hunting gun later either out of the AR-15 or AR-10 platforms.

If you build 1 you will build many trust me on that :chuckle:

The RRA 2 stage is one of the best trigger kits out there IMHO.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

I have to admit, I won't recieve my RRA kit for a couple months and I'm already looking into the 6.5 Grendel.

I just got done "oh about 10 mins ago" rebuilding a stock 308. New spring kit, trigger kit, grip, stock and tac latch. Fit's like a glove now. :IBCOOL:

If you like the 6mm, look into Black Hole Weaponry's 6mmX6.8 SPC barrels.  That's going to be my next AR build.  :tup:

It will be worth the wait, believe me.  I just ordered one of their one-piece Hi-Rise 30mm scope mounts.  They are great, and half the price of the Burris P.E.P.R. mounts.

I have a Grendel AR.  Except it's called the 20 LBC.  6.5 Grendel necked down to .204.  Love it so much I'm selling my CZ .204 Ruger.

Part of the appeal is resizing .223 Rem brass, which is everywhere and the same bolt.
Really, just a barrel and dies.
