| i am building a long range prairie dog gun. i have been used to bolt guns with 1 lb trigger pulls. after deciding an ar platform rifle will be the tool to exterminate vermin, i am at a loss for the trigger system. what have been your different experience with drop in systems for ar's? let's talk prices for these systems too! |

Expensive. There are some nice ones for about $200. You will spend anywhere from $150 to about $200 for a good quality one. I have heard that Bill Springfield can do a good trigger job on your regular FCG. Apparently you just send your FCG parts and he sends them back in less than two weeks. And it cheap. I dont have contact info you might google his name. or somebody else will come along with info. |
| Bill Springfield is at triggerwork.net. I'd say go with the JP. It's not that much, ~$150 and is one of the best triggers out there. It's not exactly "drop in", but fitting is so easy a blind monkey can do it with a rock. Mine came in at a bit under 3lbs with .5 mm of TOTAL travel pretty evenly distributed between take up and OT. I could have dialed in less, it's just screws, but I wanted combat/SHTF reliable and JP doesn't recommend less due to sear engagement/wear issues. I have lighter, crisper, and shorter triggers on some of my other guns, but I'm pretty pleased with the JP. |
Thanks for that info and thanks bushflyr for the link.... So if I send him a DPMS standard trigger he can work his magic and make it a 3lb no creep varminator? |
Go with Bill, everything else is a ripoff like most AR acc's. |
IMO you shouldn't limit yourself to drop-ins. Either way, wee www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=12&t=366464--great tacked thread! It discusses both drop-in and component systems. Check out http://www.geissele.com/, http://www.accuracyspeaks.com/ (single-stage) and www.jprifles.com/1.4.8.php. Take a close look at JP's Complete JP Fire Control Package with over sized anti-walk pins professionally installed in your receiver and return shipped within one week, only: $220 including labor and return ship on your lower assembly. www.jprifles.com/1.4.8.1.php (1/2 way down the page). It's the best trigger I've personally experienced, and my friends rave about it when they shoot the AR it's in. |
Bill has done about a dozen triggers for me and the results have always been fantastic. AR 10, AR 15, HK 91 & SKS. Great communication and fast turn around. I wish I knew about him before I bought my match triggers for my bolt guns  He is not an Industry Partner so, he can't advertise here. |
