R2, or anyone else.....

I figured I would ask the guys that know....

 

First AR15 build for me, and I am putting a bit of a Frankenlower together....I want to know if a set of Armalite FCG (trigger/hammer only) will work without problems in an Anderson lower receiver.  I will be using CMMG springs/pins....

I am not altogether sure of what parts are completely interchangeable yet, hence my question.

 

Thanks in advance!

For a standard AR15? Everything works with everything lol.

Used an Armalite trigger from my AR-10 in an Anderson AR15 lower without issue.

Cool!  I just wanted to double check what I had been told locally....maybe this is the beginning of an addiction?

Mil-spec means almost all parts will fit !

There you go. You didn't need me at all. But I'll take being singled out as a compliment (I think).

You get singled out enough, brother - you earned this reprieve...

I advise against using CMMG parts. They can require some fitting and adjusting.

Even with it just being a lower pin and spring kit from CMMG?

Awesome. ...

Their tolerances for machining are WAY over what others accept. I swear that you could use a CMMG pistol grip bolt, and it'll somehow cause a failure to function.

Purchase and use at your own risk.

Brownells usually has all the same parts (by High Standard) to select individually.

That's how I put together my lower, let me pick what of what I wanted may have cost a lil more but it's all????

[survivalshop]

 I also buy individual components from Brownells , quantity where I can .

Small pins, detents and springs... even if they come in 3 packs... won't cost you more than maybe $10. Then you still buy your aftermarket trigger, selector group, and mag release and bolt catch. My lower parts generally cost me around $200 to $300 with all the aftermarket stuff I like. At least if I build it part by part (instead of using a parts kit) I don't have any left over useless parts.

Damage industries has some smoking deals on small parts kits regularly.

I use the hell out of Citizen's Armory for small parts.  For years now.  They rock.

Yeah, I just picked up an Anderson lower parts kit (all parts to make lower functional except tube and stock assembly)....hope those will fit/work in an Anderson lower......

 

Thanks for the info on cmmg....

I am just grabbing my stuff from various local dealers, watching prices I can get most things for what the cost+shipping would be on individual parts orders.
