Anyone have any "tricks" to smoothing out the occasional rough trigger on a lower kit. Not looking for anything more than the normal mil-spec break. I have one lower that I assembled that has been a few pounds heavier than the rest of my builds.
Builders sound off please. |

Polish the angled engagement surface of the trigger with JB's Bore paste or Flitz. Makes the the pull seem lighter, reset is very smooth and creep is reduced. |

That looks much more appealing to me than the other methods involving cutting and bending springs. 1. Does anybody know about this setup and the potential for light primer strikes? 2. If there are issues with light primer strikes, could they be reduced with a titanium firing pin? |
I googled this pic off the internet. It originates from RanierArms website. I apologize if I'm not allowed to copy this pic, I know certain people have ripped off Stickman's pics and I'll remove it instantly if he requests...
Anyhow, I bend the hammer spring as seen in this photo and use Copper Anti Seize for grease on the engagement surface of the hammer & trigger. I also bob the hammer to reduce chances of light strikes. This is mainly what I do for .22 ARs but I haven't had any light strikes with .223 either. Makes for a much nicer trigger pull and still in the 5# neighborhood |

Thanks fellas.
I took the lower down and lightly sanded/cleaned the contact points and took the anti-seize comment to heart and added a uber light coating. Great improvement already. It is a new rifle with a low round count, so I am "assuming" dry firing and actual range time will assist in wearing the contact points slightly over time. I am much happier now with the trigger break in comparison to my other AR's. |

I ran teh JP yellow springs and had issues with cheap russian ammo light striking. I ran a JP speed hammer as well when I was getting light strikes.
Called up JP and got a Red hammer spring, problem solved. On my latest lower, I bobbed a stcok hammer to mimic the speed hammer but left a little more meat on the end and it works great. |
