What exactly is stainless in a "stainless" LPK? I've seen some references to stainless trigger parts, but I decided I'm replacing the trigger anyway so that shouldn't matter. I'm just looking for a basic LPK no grip needed, no trigger guard needed, no trigger needed. Apparently the grip screw and washer will be needed unless the magpul grip comes with that (couldn't figure that out).
I'm going to stick with the Liberty/Grendel II barrel. Apparently it'll fire factory ammo and it looks like a great barrel at a good enough price. If I'm wrong about it firing factory ammo please correct me because I would hate to have a barrel that can't shoot my ammo.
I read that with a low mass carrier you want a low mass buffer. Basically turn the gas way down, then click it up till it cycles brass reliably. This should result in fast cycling and low recoil. That's what I read in a lightweight rifle build thread. I think the guy actually removed all weight from the buffer. Not sure if I'd do that. I'm going with a carbine buffer unless anyone says otherwise.
