| I have had a DPMS LR308B for a few years now and mainly just shoot my bolt guns. We all know the trigger is horrid, and since I really don't shoot it much anyway, I thought about trying the 15-minute trigger job where you cut the hammer spring and bend the trigger spring. I was just wondering about having light primer strikes if I do this? Does this mod work dependably on the 308 platform? |

I had a Bill Springfield trigger in my 308, has the yellow JP springs. While the trigger pull was vastly improved, I had light primer strikes on surplus ammo (it was fine with commercial ammo). The fix was to put a standard hammer spring back in, which mostly negated the original improvements. You may potentially have the same issues with the cut and bent spring.
If you truly want reliability with a nice trigger pull, spend the 15 minutes installing a Geissele SSA-E trigger, that's what I did, it's worth every penny (all 20,000 of them.......  )

| I've got the Bushmaster LR308 that came with a crap trigger. I changed my out to a a Spike's Nib Battle trigger with yellow/red JP springs. The pull is pretty decent at around 5lbs. I mainly plink with Barnul/Monarch steel cased & might get one LPS out of 100 rounds. Hornady steel match runs great too. |
