Trigger Work

I have an AR which has 10lb trigger pull, I want a lighter pull about 3 to 4lb. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Theres better AR triggers listed in many places, MidwayUSA comes to mind, they are not cheap. I ordered and installed a Timney, it was a drop in unit, ran about $175 a couple of years ago...It is terrific !!

Guys on ARFcom, M4Carbine, and AR15armory all love Bill Springfield triggers. Offers 3 and 4 lb pull weights ($35 or $45) by reworkings your FCG or buy one already reworked for $99 (last time I looked).

I had him do a the trigger job on my HK P2000 and for $45 it was a worth while modification. It's not a 1911 trigger by any means, but a lot better than it was, and the turn around time was a little over a week with shipping.

Rock River NM 2-stage will get you in the 3-4 pound range for about $120. Assuming nothing is out of spec and there isn't a burr somewhere, most of the weight of pull in the AR15 trigger is from the hammer and trigger springs. Reduced power spring kits are available for around $5. Along with light polishing on the hammer notch and trigger nose with a white ceramic stone - real light so as to change the angles and to not wear through the surface heat treatment - will generally get you around 5-6 pounds. All that being said, if you're looking for a match trigger, there's no substitute for purpose built trigger parts.

Another testimony here for Bill Springfield at triggerwork.net. I had a Timney drop-in unit in my 6,8 SPC build and didn't want to spend that much on my backup AR, so I sent the parts to Bill for the 4# job and speedhammer modification. $44 total cost, and I liked the final result so much that I swapped it into my 6.8 and relegated the Timney to backup status. Kudos to Springfield!
