I have a Springfield m1a loaded with a nm trigger. I was wondering what could be done to improve this trigger? Any help or advise would be appreciated.

Re: M1a trigger question
I have thought of sending it to Bill Springfield and having it done, and have also read of changing springs. I just needed the advise of some of the Hide members. Is there any other suggestions of who to send it to?

Re: M1a trigger question
Most good M14 smiths won't go under 4.5 pounds for safety reasons. If you want it cleaned up so it's smooth I'm sure they could accommodate you but don't plan on getting it much lighter.

Smith Enterprise

Some cost more than others but all do good work.
After seeing how Fulton Armory has handled issues with other people, as well as some personal experiences and observations, I can't recommend them for anything and in fact I'd say avoid them.

Re: M1a trigger question
I sent both my trigger packs to Bill Springfield to have work done on them. He got the pull weight to right at 5 pounds with no creep at all. I simply took the entire trigger group out of the rifle and sent it by Priority Mail. Bill did excellent work and had a seven to ten day turn around time. You can find his web site by searching his name.

Re: M1a trigger question
I have the SAi Rader trigger found in the M25 white feather model. You'll never find anything like it or get anyone to set one as light as it will go.
Second best, because you'll never find a Rader, Smith ent. max pack trigger option. They have it down giving you a great feeling trigger.

That's the Rader M25 trigger. If you look you'll see the status as "Discontinued by Manufacturer" and none in stock... Only way to get one is to search online, wait for one to come up for sale and be ready to drop a fortune to get it.

Re: M1a trigger question
I can not seem to find the trigger on midways site, but I found the trigger upgrade at sie. If I am reading it right it is $225.00 plus my trigger.

Yeah, the Max-Pak is $225 and the Mid-Pak is $125. They do good work but I'm not sure it's $125 to $225 good work. I had them do a Mid-Pak on mine when it was cheaper and it did feel very nice. Later I had it Melonited (what M80HT is) for all of $10 and it feels great. Didn't cost me near what their Mid-Pak currently costs.

Re: M1a trigger question
I think I have seen the m25 trigger on Brownells a few years ago,did not find it there today but it was $ 300.00 or so. So I guess it will take $ 225- $325 to improve what I have, or is there any there option?

Re: M1a trigger question
Have it tuned by one of the smiths listed here (take your pick, they're all good), shouldn't cost more than $75 to have done, then get it Melonited. I can PM you the info for the guy I go through... (his stuff goes to the same place SEI's goes to). He can put the SEI pins in it as well if you want, then just get a Tubb CS hammer and op rod spring and you'll be set.
