Reviews & Ratings for Armaspec Superlight .223/5.56mm Gun Builders Kit — 18 reviews — Page 1

Kit is very nice, good fit and finish. Price seems on point for colored components.

The retainer and spring that stop the buffer spring are way too big.
I had to take parts off of another rifle. During close inspection i think they might work in an AR 10. So now i have a spare. For someone just starting a build tho...

Before making the purchase, I researched the kit details from the Armaspec website to get more information.

I purchased the kit, mainly for the Stainless Steel components, like the anti-walk pins, detent pins and springs.
Weight was not a concern,
so being Superlight is not the reason I purchased it.
For now, I utilized the whole kit except the Aluminum Take Down Pins. I am using a pair of Rainier Arms Black Stainless Steel Take Down Pins.
(I did try the Aluminum Pins, just to see, and they both fit and worked very well, without an issue)

The lower is an Aero Precision M4E1 threaded, black anodized.
I mentioned the color, because I don't know how thick the "Cerakote" colored coating is and if it reduces the hole diameters.

Maybe I am just lucky, I don't know, but
I did not find one problem with anything.
Bolt catch, Magazine Release, 45/90 Safety, all fit nicely, and work without an issues.

After discount it cost me $55.
Armaspec sells the kit for $79
Received in less than a week via FREE shipping, in a well padded box.
So I am very pleased with the purchase.

I buy as much stainless steel products and parts for my rifles as I can find, this fits the bill. Oh, and it has a 45 degree safety which I really like.

The ease of this kit is that it has everything needed to finish off your project plus the FDE is a perfect match

Pivot pin doesn't fit, had to sand it down to make it work

Great parts kit! Everything you need to replace/repair my lower. Great fit, nice tight takedown pins wont accidently open.

I got this kit for one of my builds and it was awesome. The price is great and the color options are a plus too.

I got this as I needed a lower parts kit and anti walk pins. The issue I ran into is the spring for the safety selector does not put much pressure on the detent. I feel like a strong breeze can move it as I can barely touch it and it will move. The is the first and only lower I have put together and had this issue so far and this was the first time trying this kit as I usually get just an aero precision lower kit for the other builds that got lost in boating accidents

It looks cool and I do like how far the mag release button sticks out, BUT the takedown pins are very hard to push. The front takedown pin I have to tap with a hammer to get it to pull out. The rear one I can do with my thumb, but it takes some force that I have never had with other takedown pins. The detent holes are way too deep compared to other takedown pins.

Additionally, I wish the safety selector switches were shorter and more slim. They are always in contact with my thumb and trigger finger.
