Bill did a cetme trigger for me too about a year ago. I can't say enough good things about him or the trigger.
For lube (I don't know what secret sauce Larue is selling) I use Moly (as in molybdenum disulfide) grease. It is the bees knees for any surface that cams (as well as my motorcycle driveshaft). I use it for my glocks too. I recommend This MOLY Also a great company, I use their moly paste, it is the highest content paste short of a solid. ETA: of course I have no affiliation with either, other than patronage |

I sent my trigger to Bill just last week and I already have it back. I installed it last night and it feels great. Very smooth, clean break, no creep.
I had the 4 lb job done and it is a great bargain compared to the drop in units. Im sure those are nice too, but for the cost difference (4 to 7 times as much) there is no way I would spend the money on one of them. Plus I am kindve old fashioned in the sense that I like having original parts in the gun. I will post again once I have fired it over the weekend. |

I've done the 15 minute trigger job on one of my trigger groups and it improved it immensely. The only problem I have with it is the creep before the break. It's not rough, very smooth, just not like a regular rifle. Does this trigger job fix that? Does it break like the 2nd stage on a 2 stage kit?

HUGE +1 for his trigger job
I had him do the trigger on my precision rig, and it's as good as the $150-200 triggers IMO no creep at all, and breaks like glass. I'm sending him my next FCG in a few weeks. ETA: I use tetra grease on my FCG, works great |

I had Bill do two 4lb triggers for me. Turnaround was about a week and a half. He must have done them as soon as he received them. I can tell a huge difference! No creep and a clean crisp break just as advertised.
I did have to take a little material off the top rear of the trigger to get the safety selector back in. With the different tolerances between forgings on the receivers, I imagine I am not the only one that has had to do this and is totally understandable. I would recommend this trigger job to anyone looking for a big improvement over their stock trigger. |

Thinking about sending a couple of my RRA 2 stage triggers to him. For those of you that have had this job done on the 2 stages, how did they turn out. I want to get mine as light as safely possible.

hello;
did a trigger for me 2 weeks ago. now have a fantastic trigger. would suggest spend a little extra and send the entire lower. he is able to actually check his work on the trigger and not guess. 8 day turn-around. rp |

Yes, the trigger pull is like a 2 stage when you have pulled through the first stage and are sitting against the second stage. I have 2 of Bills and 2 2-stage. When it comes down to it they are all about the same. |

last I knew he was function testing them and did not need a lower sent??? Is this new? (is it even legal to send a lower to a non-FFL? ) |

Bill shouldn't need your lower...hopefully not.
Agree on the FFL thing, thats a grey area that most would not want to venture into. Ive had 2 trigger jobs by him, and ive always sent my my trigger pack, pins, and safety |

Bill is a totally stand up guy. He did a pile of triggers for me that went to the ashtray with "my kids". All performened reliably during some periods of very hard use.
I dug the following out of the archives, and saved it for reference. It may be a bit out of date, but should give the general idea:

I've noticed that those who have had Bill do both the 4lb AND 3lb trigger seem to prefer the 3lb.
Anyone prefer Bill's 4lb trigger, and if so, why? |

I have 2 FCG sets that will be going out to Bill tomorrow.
He said to send the springs as well. Does he do any work to the hammer/trigger/dissconnect springs ? Or does he just want to make sure that all is well with the set ? Thanks, Scott |

Scott, I think he replaces the springs with a lighter set. I just got my 4 lb. Stag back from him and it is a vast improvement. I'll be using his services again. Thanks Bill!

OK, I see. But I assume from all of the positive recommendations that the hammer spring is still strong enough for military primers ? Thanks, Scott |

With all of the positive reviews for Bill's work I couldn't NOT do it. I sent mine to him on Monday through USPS Priority Mail. I emailed him today (Friday) to ask him when, based on his workload, he anticipated sending it back. He replied in less than a half hour saying that it was finished and it went out yesterday (Thursday). Now THAT is a quick turnaround. I'm hoping to get it on Saturday.

He must have had both of ours on his table at the same time. I sent mine to him on Monday as well, and he mailed me also saying it went out Thursday as well. Damn good service if you ask me. Which is rare today. If the quality of the work is as good as his service, (and based on the reports here, it seems like it will be), he will be getting some more AR trigger groups from me to do as well. And possibly a FAL or 2 also. Thanks for turning me on to him guys. Scott |

I sent in 3 trigger groups awhile back and finaly got around to testing out one of the 4lb triggers yesterday. It was just a quick 3 shots to test function, all I can say is it was nice! NO creep and 4lbs is nice, light and crisp. I was very impressed, I cant wait to try out the 3lb trigger now. I dont think I am going to be wasting any more money on aftermarket 2 stages any longer

I just installed my #4 trigger done by Bill, and words can't say how much of an improvement it is over the factory setup. Turn around time was under three weeks.
No creep. crisp break. Very nice work. I'm impressed. I'll recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice trigger without spending a small fortune. Thanks Bill, from a future repeat customer. |

I just opened the box from Bill and I am amazed. I got the 3 lb trigger pull and the term "crisp" doesn't truly say how crisp and clean it breaks. I love it. I will NEVER pay $200 on a trigger group after seeing Bill's work.
For those of you wondering about other work he does...from Bill, "I work just about any semi-auto rifle..i.e. FAL, HK, AK, SkS..etc. 2 hanguns I work are HK USP's and P7's." |

Another very happy customer. I think he had my trigger group in his hands for less than a day. Turnaround was immediate and I had it back in my rifle and was testing it in just over a week! Best possible mod. Fully recommended.

Dont have pics but all there is to it is- Remove upper Remove safty lever Push out the two pins holding the trigger group ( slowly & hold on to the parts & pay attention to how they come out so you can reassemble ) I forgot i saved this link- www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=226782 |

just got my 3# trigger back from him today. WOW! definite improvement!
Question though: anyone try his trigger w/a 9mm upper? looking at his work, it doesn't look like i would need to go out and get a 9mm hammer to get work done, the standard one looks like it would work fine http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i131/shin_en/IMG_0704.jpg |

I decided to get a 4lb job from Bill for my 20" build, and I have to say that I am simply amazed with the speed that he got back to me. I sent it off last Saturday, and it was back in my mailbox on Friday! I put it in my lower and function tested it, and I have to say that it feels AMAZING compared to my other stock triggers. Unfortunately I haven't been able to actually shoot it yet, but I have no doubt that it will be nothing short of perfect. Thank you for all your help Bill. I hope to utilize your services again in the future!

the shop that are going out to J & T Distributing for 2 DS-4 kits. When those come in, their FCG parts will be going to Bill as well. Best compliment I can give Bill is, thanks to him I sold my RRA 2 stage match trigger set. |
