Welcome to the forum from North Carolina.  I just put a Rise trigger in mine.

Beantown, How do you like it?  Being new to this I was overwhelmed with all the available triggers.  I will soon be researching uppers and barrels.

For a low end single stage I really like it. For 90 bucks it was hard to pass up. Does the company that made your 80% lower make an upper? The consensus around here is buy the same upper brand as your lower.

Got my 80% lower from Daytona tactical. Im sure they are available through them. I will research this. Thanks for the advice. Ken

I guess I should ask what the importance in purchasing both upper and lower from the same company? Are there compatibility issues? Thanks

Because there's no "milspec" on the the large frame specs can very and that can lead to fitment and function issues

Thank you Shep. I appreciate the advice being new to this venture. Ken
