Lower parts kit? Good quality low cost?

[Biggerhammer]

Allot of guys I'm around are running one sort of Geiselle trigger or another. I've been contemplating picking up a few SSA-E's but I've used the RRA two stages for so long and they have been great triggers, I haven't felt swayed enough to change.

Look at new frontier polymer lowers, I bought a complete lower for $130.
I use it with my 6.8 spc ar-upper

That's what I have under my 204 bull barrel..

That one's a little out of my price range.  Thanks though.  I picked up my Anderson lower today, sucks it had to be purchased as a "handgun" so now it is "registered".  Guess I'll still have to do an 80%....

Was it transferred as a pistol lower?

"I don't understand why it had to be purchased as a "Handgun"? It's a stripped lower correct? Most FFL's mark them as "Other" when it is just a stripped lower reciever and what you choose to do with it is up to you. It wouldn't matter if it was checked off on the paperwork as "Rifle", "Handgun" or "Other. If you do the paperwork, it's still going in your name no matter what"

[Blacktail Sniper]

Maybe this is the one he got??

[Blacktail Sniper]

Where this one would have been done the same as a rifle and not added to the handgun registry...

I've gone the Joe bobs route twice now,once with the RRA NM 2stage enhanced,and a few weeks ago with the single stage kit for 61 dollars.I've got a gunsmith/machinest at work who works the triggers over.My 2 stage he gave the once over and it was 5.5 pounds stock,he stoned and polished,little file here and there and it breaks clean now with the stock springs at 3 pounds.He claims he can get the same out of a single stage battle trigger also.Check out the slack adjuster trigger screw thingy for 14 bucks.I got one of those to put in this next build.

Unless the lower was stamped pistol. It should have gone as "OTHER" being a stripped lower.

I have no experience with their triggers. The magpul kit usually runs between 60-70, most lpk are in the 50 range. So you're paying an extra 30 or so for their trigger (fire control group). I would probably look up reviews of their triggers to decide if it's worth it.

I have several Mil-Spec Anderson triggers and they aren't any worse or any better than any other mil-spec trigger I have shot. All a guy has to do is dry fire one real slow as to "Feel it out" a couple times and your good to go. I would much rather shoot a RRA two stage than a Mil-spec. The end results are the same a rifle will shoot just as small a group with a mil-spec as it will with a match trigger, it's just much easier and more comfortable with the match trigger.

At Skagit Arms, they said it had to be done as a handgun since it could be used to build one.  I just assumed that the info would then be sent to our local sheriff like my wife's info was when she picked up her 38 special.

Blacktail Sniper, I was looking at the Anderson standard LPK and found one on ebay for $49 including shipping. I haven't looked much at the stock prices to see if buying that with the LPK is a good deal.

However, a member has offered me a screaming deal on an LPK, buttstock, so I think I am set... at least until I do my 80% build someday.

Grey area here. If you plan on ever building into a pistol, state it as such. If only and always a rifle, no worry. You can, as some would say, register it as a handgun, you can always build it into either a handgun or a rifle. Once it is built into a rifle from "registering" It as a rifle, it can not be" legally" built into a handgun..hence, the grey area...who will ever know?
 
I love the R River 2 stage, but prefer the Gisselle. Don't let anyone tell you a good trigger doesn't make a difference in accuracy.  Most factory triggers leave a lot to be desired for a light, crisp break.

I was told at the local specialty store(law enforcement/competitve shooter outfit) that with the passing of 594 that it is no longer necessary to designate a stripped lower a pistol or rifle on the paperwork.This just changed last week on thursday I believe.

Thanks for all the input, what's done is done I guess as far as the lower goes.  I'm probably like most people who don't buy a huge variety of firearms so just do what the sales person says.
