This was a good cheap parts kit. I only had one issue. The magazine catch that came with the kit was a ar-15 catch and not an ar-10. It would not engage the bolt on an empty mag, and would bairly hold it if I manually set the bolt catch. Even then it wouldn't hold the bolt long, and would slam closed on it's own without hitting the bolt release. I ordered an aero precision ar-308 bolt catch and it works like a charm now. Sucks that I had to spend an extra $15 on a bolt catch, but it was still cheaper than most other kits.

Great kits. I have used on several builds. Will continue to use on future builds, quality parts and excellent fit good springs and average trigger pull. Polishing trigger/ hammer achieved better trigger pull.
Pros:
- Complete kit, all parts high quality.
Would recommend: Yes

So I'm building a budget 308 I found this kit and thought its great for what I'm doing. Well I ordered it and everything was packaged in color coded bags, I started putting it together and noticed that the takedown pins are extremely stiff. They probably wear out. Then I put the trigger assembly in and wow the trigger is complete garbage hanging on the disconnector and sear. I ended up needing to polish the sear and disconnector to just get the hammer to drop. So after I finally got it all to work I put the rifle in the safe and after 1 week all the parts are rusted. This kit is junk buy a better one
Cons:
- Poor trigger
- Rusting parts
Best Used for:
- Taking up space in garbage
Would recommend: No

Installed these parts in a finished DPMS/Aero style lower. Everything works great. I did have an issue with the rear pivot pin being a little too long. I installed it in the upper before attaching the lower and in the fully backed out position the tip of the pin protruded into the inner pocket of the upper about 1/8 inch. I had to do a little prying to get the lower to pop in but it went in without much of a fight. It marred the finish on the lower where it scraped by the tip of the pin. It also protrudes about 1/8 inch out the side of the gun. Also it makes it so I cannot separate the upper from the lower without depressing the detent and backing the pin all the way out of the gun. All these things being said, It is there. It works fine. I'm leaving it there unless i need to remove it for some reason, at which point i will be grinding the tip down to a proper length. Other that this bit of difficulty with a pin that should never need to be removed anyway, this kit was a great buy. Springs have good strength. Hammer hits square and true, Trigger has a nice feel. Grip is sturdy and comfortable. Gun fired fist try. Really cannot complain. It would have got 5 stars were it not for that weird pin length issue.
Pros:
- Almost every part was perfect
Cons:
- Rear pivot pin was a bit too long
Best Used for:
- any AR platform 308 build
Would recommend: Yes

I have to say I really like CMMG products. This lower parts kit comes very organized.... all the parts are bagged with other parts that go to there specific are of your build. I have never had problems with substandard parts.
