LPKs?

[Trumpet]

So, I came to the realization that I should probably stock up on LPKs. I currently have PSA, CMMG, and Stag LPKs in my rifles. I'm looking to pick up a few more LPKs. I'm looking at Aero, RRA, Odin, and Colt. Any other strong recommendations in the sub-$100 range? Any to avoid?

SOLGW Blaster Guts.

Yeah, they're definitely on my list. They ever go on sale?

You have to get on the email alerts from SOLGW and their dealers. I've seen 15 - 20% discounts.

Done. Thanks!

What did you end up doing? Same boat as you right now. Trying to decide.

I haven't yet, I've been waiting for the SOLGW to go on sale, but I might pick up a RTB or Schmid PTFE one.

Why so sold on SOLGW? Why not get a Colt LPK for $50?

I've read some reports that the Colt LPKs at AU aren't "what they used to be". IMO at one time Colt was the end-all, but times have changed and I think there's options that are as good if not better.

Interesting. Thanks.

Colt, like many other suppliers, has many of its small parts made for them by contractors. They still have to pass inspection.

that would be a great conclusion. Colt "had" some great parts back in the day, Chrome bolt carriers, bolts,
Lower parts. now it's like all the rest. the quality was there, still have "Colt" parts from late 70's-80's. Just because
it says Colt pretty much means nothing. Back then you didn't have all the clone wanna "B's" Colts legal dept. was
very aggressive.
Just some thought
