PSA parts kits are a good deal with magpul stocks. Their stock triggers are crap like all of them. The upper I got from them has shot 1.25" 5 shot groups with hand loads. Still playing with load trying to get it to 1 moa. The lower I got from them wouldn't take a Rise trigger and I had to grind a lot to fit it in. The same trigger dropped right in multiple other brands of lowers. They take a while to ship their uppers. So don't think you will order on Monday and have it Wednesday. They seem to have them built in runs. Mine took a couple weeks to show up.
Get the EPT trigger in the kit. Much smoother, much nicer.

I love these build your own kits.
That being said, I think I've seen some offered even cheaper without the fire control group even cheaper. My inbox is flooded with gun deals every day so I don't remember where I saw that.
That is the kit I'd go after so your not paying for a junk trigger. Go to Rise Armament or Timney and get a real trigger to put in one. If you like fiddling with a custom trigger that you can tune to whatever your personal tastes are, go to JP. You will have to remove a little here, a little there as it's not a drop in trigger. You build your trigger the old fashioned way.
