I have a rifle w/a timney trigger (love it). It will not ignite ammo with harder primers. I've heard that they can install a more powerful spring to rectify this problem. Is this true? Anyone ever had it done?

I have the Timney AR-10 trigger, it has a heavier hammer spring.
They can probably swap it for you.

Tha AR-10 trigger still has a 4lb pull.

You can get increased power hammer springs.  Not sure if the trigger you are talking about would allow an easy DIY install.

Timney sels their .308 hammer and spring for $30. It's an easy swap. I had to do it to the timney on my 6920 and plan to get two mor for my other rifles with Timneys.
I should hVe just purchSed the .308 version for my 6.8 to start. Never had a problem, but it makes me feel better with the harder hitting hammer.

I've shot all kinds of ammo and all kinds of primers with my 20" AR with a Timney...  Just out of curiosity, what ammo are you having trouble with?
