Does the dpms lr308 use the same trigger as an ar15? Whats everyones favorite trigger? How lite of a trigger to use? Have seen post about changing the spring in the stock dpms trigger, is this worth the trouble?

Re: lr308 trigger
Yes it takes the same triggers. My factory springs were removed and replaced with ar-15 triggers. Then worked over by my gun smith. It now breaks at 3lbs 2 oz with no creep. The smith is a buddy so it only cost me $25.00. I have had people shoot it and ask if it was a $200-300 trigger. I would say find a good smith and have him work it over for you.
I have a LR308 with the 24" SS barrel

Re: lr308 trigger
you can send the factory trigger to triggerwork.net and get a nice job done for a good price

Re: lr308 trigger
I like my Jewell, all my shootin' buds were makin' fun of me when I put the trigger in, but the difference was night and day. I really like the Jewells, I have two and they're both in my favorites tack drivin' AR's.

I sent mine to Bill Springfield for a 3lb trigger job and speed hammer. Only $56 including return shipping.

Re: lr308 trigger
I admittedly went cheap, but the stock trigger was so bad I spent $80 to drop in a Rock River Arms two stage and it made a huge difference...

Re: lr308 trigger
Went with the geissele dmr. Set at 3lb first stage and 1.25 second stage. Was a little time consuming to do the install, but the results were well worth it. Couldn't be happier with the trigger now. Stock dpms measured 7.5lbs

I also use this trigger. It works great. In a recent build, I used a new non adjustable Geissele and it is just about as nice as the adjustable one. Great triggers. Great locktime too.
