After doing research on this SPR build and shopping around on primary arms, rainier arms, LaRue, and a few other sites I feel there’s way too many players in the game. Seems every machine shop that has any firearms knowledge is making parts. Granted most of the stuff is fairly standard (gas blocks, buffer tubes, etc) but it’s information overload.
I resorted to reading a lot of reviews but in this day of “influencers” I wonder how many of them are shills justifying someone’s profit margin

Have you ever done a gas piston upper? I'm too cheap but my brother got one for about 600 when Adam's arms started making them. We had to work out some quirks but after that it shot well. I wasn't too impressed on the fitment/gap of upper and lower but it was his $$$ and I havent checked prices since then

When I first got into ARs the gas piston LWRC seemed like the holy grail.
After many years and rounds sent downrange with a gas impingement... meh. I’m not going to be the dude swimming through a swamp with my rifle. It does what I want it to
They are pretty nice for the money. About a 4 pound break.
I have a few of the curved versions and just got a straight version but have not installed yet.
I suspect I'll be selling a curved soon.
That feeling when you’ve got a new AR almost set up but the trigger and grip won’t get delivered until Monday.
You buy that larue trigger?

Yes I did. I might as well teach the wife how to use a 2-stage trigger and it’s the best value I’ve seen. I haven’t put a lot of time into teaching her the finer points of distance shooting so this is a start

Know that feeling! Looks nice! Not a fan of breaks but interested in how you like that one. Looks little different than the regular birdcage.That feeling when you’ve got a new AR almost set up but the trigger and grip won’t get delivered until Monday.
We can have cans on ours here in the free world so that is what I prefer!
Cool, you'll have to get me your thoughts on it before I order.

The AR pistol with the quad rail above? The muzzle brake is a VG6 Gamma. It does help with muzzle rise, I just threw a H3 buffer in it so we’ll see how well it works for follow up shots next time i take it out. Already figured out it’s loud as hell for anyone standing to the sides.Know that feeling! Looks nice! Not a fan of breaks but interested in how you like that one.

I’m waiting for the trigger and grip for an SPR I’m building. This project is already going over budget but buy once cry once right?
The Larue triggers are hard to beat for the money.
Newly installed with the lighter spring they pull 3.5ish pounds.
I just replaced a used one that had a pull of 2.75. Trying out their new flat faced version. Pull is right at 3.5.

Think I'm gonna order one after talking with @Itaro earlier. Seems like a good solid part of the build I'm working toward.
Not it

Have you seen Colton lately. Isn’t he from Poway?
