The trigger on my Bushmaster currently breaks somewhere in the 8-9lb range. I've been thinking about taking it in to a gunsmith and having it lightened down to the 3-4lb range. What are the pros and cons of having this done to my AR15? Also, what kind of effects will this have on the action of the trigger? (I know that on Glock, lightening the trigger resulted in a longer trigger pull and making it heavier gave me a shorter, crisper break.) Thanks in advance for any thoughts that you folks might have on this. -Frank |

Thanks Mike. Guess I'd better save it this time.  edited: Oh damn, this is embarassing. Guess what I found when I saw your link, Mike? Yup. 15 minute trigger job

If you don't feel like hacking apart a set of FCG springs, you could also look into the Yellow Tavern Reduced Power Action Kit from Brownells (item: 989-000-001). It's only $4 (or $2.35 with C&R discount) - but probably not worth it to order it by itself because of shipping charges. |
Yeah, but who could order just $4 worth of stuff from Brownell's anyway?

Isn't that one of things they tell you to check when you're getting light strikes? I've also heard that you can put one leg down on the floor of the receiver instead of up on the trigger pin, but it didn't seem to make any difference when I tried it. At least not that I could feel. (You can't put both legs down because you need one in the groove of the trigger pin to keep it from walking. Unless you have some other kind of anti-walk pins.) |
