Is there a better deal for a Magpul MOE LPK around than $100 from PSA?

Is there a better deal for a Magpul MOE LPK around than $100 from PSA? Thoughts?

This contains everything including the buffer tube, spring, weight, trigger mechanism, grip and extension.

I can even replace the trigger with a LaRue trigger for $90 and still stay under $200.

I just used one of these last night to build another AR and it went seamlessly.

I pay $20 more and get the EPT. It is a nice upgrade from a regular mil-spec trigger. I haven't had any problems with mine. Granted, I'm not shooting thousands of rounds a year through any of mine.

Thanks a bunch - now the real question is "Is the Larue trigger worth $60 over the ept"?

That is a smoking deal, EPT is similar to ALG ACT.

I've never shot any fancy trigger guns. My issued Colt has a creaky mil-spec. My LWRC has their "enhanced" mil-spec. I've got two lowers I've assembled myself with PSA EPT triggers. That is the limit of my experience in the AR world. I find that they all feel superior to the Colt mil-spec and worth $20 more.

I'm not sure what an additional $60 would get me, other than an easier installation. There is a reasonable chance that I will never find out either!

My shooting ability is not hampered by the mil-spec trigger, the biggest issue is the nut behind the trigger.

I was the same way until I bought a Giessele SSA-E, and I will be looking for another when it goes on sale. The SSA-E is best trigger I have felt on my AR, I have uses all sorts of triggers and adjuster screws and the SSA-E feel is what I was looking for with all my tinkering. But I do agree does an AR really need a trigger over $100.

To me it makes a big difference. While I love Geissele SSA-E triggers, I think the best bang for the buck is a Larue MBT for under $100

What are you building the AR for? 3-gun, basic, longer range, or general home defense?

IMHO LaRue is always worth the money

This is exactly what I read when deciding on components. I chose to go with 3 Larue triggers to save a little money on each. I just used the second one. Waiting for a deal on an upper for another one.

I put a LaRue trigger in my AR-15 and I can tell the difference and i will do it again when i build my next rifle..
