AR Gurus - Highest quality lower parts for a POF lower in .308?

[thefitter]

I'm going to put together a POF lower in .308, are all the small parts and pins pretty much the same quality or is there any manufacturers that stand out in machining quality and fit.

I see Seekins makes a modified Bolt catch. What other upgrades are there?

This is the list I got of another sight of what I need:

Front Pivot Pin 308-LR-18
Front Pivot Pin Detent 308-LR-15
Front Pivot Pin Detent Spring 308-LR-14

Rear Takedown Pin 308-LR-30
Rear Takedown Pin Detent 308-LR-15
Rear Takedown Detent Pin Spring 308-LR-14

Magazine Catch 308-LR-13
Magazine Catch Button 308-LR-17
Magazine Catch Spring 308-LR-16

Safety (Selector) 308-LR-08
Safety Detent 308-LR-27
Safety Detent Spring 308-LR-26

Buffer Retainer 308-LR-01
Buffer Retainer Spring 308-LR-02

Bolt Catch 308-LR-11
Bolt Catch Buffer 308-LR-10
Bolt Catch Spring 308-LR-09
Bolt Catch Screw 308-LR-12

Thanks

In my experience, parts is parts when it comes to the pins and springs and such.

Ditto to the above.

The pins and springs are all the same in my opinion. However, I like to bling mine out to make it different. For example, look at Seekins mag catch button. Also, the seekins bolt catch. Awesome!!! I also like the norgon ambi mag catch. For the safety selector, i think the coolest out there is the "Badass" selectors. Also, I like to get "unique" takedown pins. You can search brownells or Midway for different configurations/graphics.

For pins and springs, i usually do the good ole dpms. Again, pins are pins, springs are springs. Howwever, for the trigger, if you get a geiselle, make sure you use the pins that come with it!!!!

Done.

Armalite selector and buffer tube
JP captured buffer
Seekins Bolt stop
SI Defence SS bolt stop screw
Geiselle High Speed National Match
Ergo grip
All the other parts are DPMS

I would have used CMMG but they only sell kits for AR15, and for the small pins and screws Armalite wants to sell you 10 each.

Thanks
