I order DPMS lower parts kits from Brownell's, and there is an option to get the LPK without the trigger mechanism, which I don't need anyway. I really like using the JP Triggers and Geissele triggers for 2-stage. It's hard to beat an EDM wire cut sear, and even the low-price Geissele blows away all of the RRA, Armalite, Knight's, JARD, Timney, and other 2-stage triggers I've felt.
I haven't had any issues with the numerous LPK's I've ordered through B-store. Back about 10 years ago, I did get some kits that were occasionally missing a part or two, but I don't recall the vendor or source then. So far, the DPMS kits I've ordered over the past few years have all been 100%, but I will remind everyone that true Milspec lower parts are tested in some way for imperfections after the MIM process. Usually, this only applies to you if you're running an AR10 suppressed, due to the increased bolt velocity and carrier mass, causing damage to the bolt catch itself. I've seen it happen, and apparently it happened to Armalite during the SASS trials, even though they have a better gas system for suppressor use on their SASS rifles.
Yes, you can't get around the high price for the Armalite AR10 LPK(-), but Armalite has very good parts.
