Re: ar trigger help.
You can get a JP spring kit, but I would spend the coin to get the complete trigger kit, its the closest thing to a 1911 trigger in a AR you can get, and its safe, wont go full auto on you

Re: ar trigger help.

Re: ar trigger help.
do you think it would be ok to buy a used trigger?

Re: ar trigger help.
there are two threads on ar10 and ar triggers in general going at the moment. look thru the semi and gunsmith srections. they list a link to a few things you can do on your own with some rubbing compound and trimming a stock spring. then after that there is replacing the springs with lighter ones. and then for $40 you can get a decent trigger job done. and after that you just gotta pick a trigger. $100-$120 and up to $300 ish i think

Re: ar trigger help.
I like Timney best for single stage and Geiselle best for match 2 stage. JP would be my third choice for complete kits.
If you are going to stone the factory parts, I would recommend re-surface heat treating them.

Re: ar trigger help.

Although I agree with the above I would only get into stoning if you have spare trigger parts lying around at your disposal, especially if you've never stoned an AR trigger before.
If all you want is a lighter pull and a little less creep I'd recommend this:
15 minute AR trigger job
Not gonna cost you any money and (if done properly) is 100% reliable. No removing heat treating on the sear surface nothing. I have over 13000 rounds on my colt trigger with this trigger job and it's been fine (so far).
If not then what Storm Tactical suggested about the Timney and the GA is spot on.
Or you could do what BOLTRIPPER suggested with the JP springs. One way is a "DIY" the other is an easy swap of springs.

Re: ar trigger help.
i was hoping for someone local. at least around texas. unless i could find a trigger to just buy and keep mine as a back up. if anyone has a old factory they would like to get rid of i would be interested in that as well. i might just do the 15 min thing and wait to get some extra cash to buy a whole new ass.

Re: ar trigger help.
Installed a timney in my DPMS .308 because I wanted to try and save a buck or two.
Wrong answer, damn thing started double firing on me and failing to fire on the first range trip.
Had it replaced by timney, then sold that one. Got a giessele DMR and never looked back. no comparison.
