Not sure If this is the right subforum.
Anyways, I just wanted to see if anyone has similar experience or insight.
I bought a cmc lower parts kit for an ar15 build in working on. It was about $40 bucks and didn't come with a trigger or handgrip, so it seemed like a reasonable price.
I went to install it, and low and behold the mag release(left side specifically) was getting stuck in its well. I had to force it to get it out, so I wiggled it around and ended up lightly taking it to a bench grinder to see if maybe it was out of spec.
Didn't help (much) so I took my mag release which works perfect out my rifle. Worked perfectly, so I took the cmc and put it in a known good receiver and it stuck really bad.
That made me feel good knowing it wasn't the new receiver. After comparing it to my current rifles parts, I found the finish and overall quality was severely lacking. Poorly cast parts, and weak springs.
Anyone have a different experience, or should I have known not to buy it.
For reference, the spikes kits with a grip are only a dollar or two more.
