Last +Sunday I finally build my first AR lower (actually build 2). DPMS LPK with an upgraded Spikes Battle Trigger for one, and a standard Palmetto LPK for the other. During function testing, I noticed that the trigger pin rotated slightly with the Palmetto kit. When I compared the two trigger pins/hammers, It seems the Spikes spins more freely then the Palmetto hammer. Is a rotating trigger pin something I should concern myself with? I know they sell anti-rotating pin kits, but felt I would ask the experts :) Levi - I like the idea you gave the guy about buying parts kits and replacing the parts you don't want. Then when you have enough extra parts just build another. That's a great way to hide a build from the wife. Now if I could figure out a way to hide the ammo purchases to feed these beasts!!! Myles: Hello, been awhile hasn't it, anyway I am writing to try to answer a viewers question about a better muzzle device. My experience with such things is limited but I can highly recommend the Smith enterprises vortex and Yankee hill machine phantom muzzle devices. However my highest recommendation goes to the PWS triad, I had one of these things installed in a Microtech rifle and they are wonderful. They really cut down on blast and reduce recoil from an annoying little rabbit kick to a barely perceptible push. I wouldn't have thought it was possible to have a muzzle device do that many things. Here is a demo video, I wish I could have found something a little less commercial but it does demonstrate the devices capabilities fairly well. http://youtu.be/Obm0DOxS04I Also if one is so inclined, and is willing to tolerate such a large weight hanging off their rifle I have some friends who have had good experiences with the Noveske KX3. It reduces blast near the shooter, but acts like the loudener from the Simpsons gun shop scene to anything down range. However if something is down range you probably don\'t care much about it anyway. Dr. D: This might be the solution for the comp/flash suppressor issue: Griffin Armament's M4SD Flash Comp http://griffinarmament.com/accessories/centerfire-muzzle/m4sd-flash-comp/ It's been getting stellar reviews. Same functional results as the BattleComp, with a more robust design, only slightly heavier, and at almost 1/2 the cost. Of course, the added benefit here,
