The trigger pull on my FAL is extremely heavy. I was wondering if there is a drop in hammer, trigger, sear or anyway to improve it. Thanks.

Used to be "hammer, trigger, sear" sets from "FSE", Father Son Enterprise's. Check over at "The FAL Files". Depending upon the type of FAL you have there is a trigger return spring in the handle which may be lightened up a bit. I wouldn't go below 5 lbs. though.
Best,
Rob

If, repeat IF you have good-to-excellent quality trigger group components, then one of these spring kits will fix you up:http://www.falconarms.com/springskits/fnfal.  If you don't have good or better TG components, then either re-work them until they are so, or buy good ones, then the kit.

All of my FAL triggers cleaned up very nicely with just polishing the engagement surfaces on the sear and hammer.

I polished the hammer and sear with glitz and a felt wheel. Then added the falcon spring kit.
Never had any problems shooting SA ammo.

Jard triggers.  You can read about them on the FAL files also.

This guy has gotten good reviews from customers.  I'm debating on whether I want that good a trigger pull on my STG.

Check to ensure that the trigger return spring is not installed backward. There is a big end and a little end. The little end goes on first.

Too bad Bill Geissele doesn't come out with a "Super FAL" trigger...that would be outstanding (wishful thinking, I know). That Jard looking interesting - I may order one to try it out.

You may want to try polishing up the trigger  and sear first. I have done this on all of my FALs and have yet to have any problems with lite strikes or anything else. I use a Dremmel with buffing wheel and polishing compound. If you google search gunplumbers fal book it should have a pdf version of his book that will tell you how to do the trigger yourself using lesson #304 .

Agreed!  Excellent work on my FAL and HK 91.

Williams did my other Ruger trigger.  Not really fast and a little more expensive but he did put a trigger stop in.
