I need another hobby like another hole in the head but here goes anyway... Doing my homework before purchasing an AR-15 reading here, there and checking out what's on my local gun shops shelves and am leaning towards a Bushmaster, Armalight or Rock River at this point. Fully planning to mod whatever I end up with as I've done to my hunting rifles which usually includes bedding, slimline muzzle break, teflon finish, 3 lb. trigger, etc... I read an article where the writer tested 7 or 8 AR-15's and the trigger pulls from the factory were anywhere from 6.5 - 8... I've gotten used to 3lb. triggers on my hunting rigs and am assuming I'll be more accurate with an AR with a better-than-stock-trigger... What's the general consensus on triggers for AR's, have the stock triggers machined, replace with aftermarket, or buy the rifle with a competition trigger already fitted...? I'll not be doing much long range stuff with this rifle nor hunting with it other than the occassional Coyote in my yard... It'll be for PD in addition to my G23 sidearm and mostly a .223 / 5.56 plinker...
