First off I have a just a reg LPK from RRA in my AR the trigger pull on it must be in the 6lb to 7lb range.
I tried to see if there was anything in the archives but could not find anything on stoning the disconnect er and hammer to lighten it up. Does any body know how to lighten up the AR trigger to around 3LB to 4LB trigger or do I just have to buy a drop in trigger? and if so What is the best single stage trigger that will hold up. Thanks for any help |
| Just get a jp reduced power spring kit. Some say it can cause light primer strikes but I have never had a problem.. It will cut the weight in half. As far as stoning goes, just be careful and only stone it oh so slightly. Most of the time the surfaces will gall on eachother and make the trigger feel like crap. |
| I have them in 4 rifles and I have never had a problem. They cut the pull weight in half and they just take the place of the standard springs. I think the kit is like $6 from borwnells. If you are one of the few that gets light primer strikes you can get JP's low mass hammer and that will speed up the hammer and take care of the problem. I have even heard members here say they dremeled the back off thier standard trigger and that worked just fine also. Like I said I have them in 4 guns and had them in my RRA 9mm and have never had a failure to fire for thousands of rounds. |
| Stoning the hammer and disconect isn't really a good idea. It's one thing to smooth away a burr but when you start taking material off, you start running into safety issues. If this is going to be anything but a range gun I'd say NO, military guys that do this run the risk of court martial and fratracide. As more material is taken away, the hammer becomes more likely to slip. Hell, I'd even say not to do it as a range gun, just so you don't look like "that guy" at the range. Go with the springs, or buy an imporved / adjustable triger. |

I thought it would be like stoning a 1911 sear and hammer  But after looking at it more closely I think replacing the trigger springs is a more realistic and safer way to go. Thanks for all the info and help ..
