about $25 over priced

Bought this "premium" LBK, nothing premium about it, comes with the creepy mil-spec trigger and everything. The only con, besides the price, is the trigger. The Anderson kit with the stainless hammer/trigger is much nicer, especially for $19 less. You have to grab whatever is in stock these days though.

Not worth the premium for the name

Bought this over the $50 kits because it is made by a reputable company and I figured it would be good quality. That is really not the case. I demoted a star for each issue I had with the kit. First issue I had with the kit was the grip. This is probably the worst grip they could throw in here. It is just ABS plastic with out any fiber reinforcement. Feels like you are gripping a nerf gun - very disappointing. All the other parts seem to be on par with the cheap $50 parts kits. The other issue I had was functional. First function tests were fine. I exercised and lubed everything thoroughly, but after one full magazine that fired fine, the trigger would fail to fully reset. I had to nudge the trigger forward after every shot to get it to reset. Got it home and had to gently file the seer until the reset function cycled correctly again without issue. Bottom line, if you want a cheap lower parts kit, skip this one and just get a $50 one, there is no difference. Normally the CMMG name would mean quality, but not this time.
