The trigger just seems to be on the heavy side (well, relatively - it's nothing compared to a Nagant revolver), but it's otherwise not bad. Someone suggested just getting the X95 trigger pack, which IWI sells and is compatible with the SAR. I may just do that.

I did a lot of testing of the trigger pack shortly after I first got mine. I wanted to see how much the factory set could be improved through "old fashioned" trigger job methods. Most of that trigger weight is against springs, but reducing spring strength frequently caused failures to reset. Through mixing and matching, and multiple weight tests, I learned that it takes roughly 6-6.5 pounds of spring force during trigger reset just to overcome the friction of the factory disconnector alone. That was even after I stoned and polished it, and the surface it moves against. There was nothing I could do to get the factory pack even close to the pull weight of my aftermarket one, without making some extreme changed.. At the time, I wanted to get a replacement disconnector and see if I could do something to improve that portion of it, but the SAR was brand new, and IWI wasn't selling spare parts, yet. I just settled into the idea that the big 3 aftermarket providers had changed some of the geometry, and haven't ever gotten back to the idea of trying to modify the disconnector.
Side note: It doesn't sound like you're following my recommendation to make the change to left hand, huh?
