So a coworker that shoots wound up talking me into getting into service rifle so I have been trying to piece together something on the cheap. I am going to use a ar carbine that was already sitting in the safe. Its sports an LMT M4 upper with a 1in7 chrome lined barrel I bought probably 12 years ago with a DD omega 7in rail on top of a Doublestar lower. I just bought a vortex cantilever mount and ordered an Athlon Argos BTR 1-4 ffp mil scope to go in the mount. I guess my question would be for using the sling should I put a sling swivel on the rail or use the fsb sling mount? |

MI's MCTAR-06. I recommend taking the bolt out and loctiting the set screw inside before installing. The corners eventually bugged me, so I filed them. |

Has it got a good trigger? Good trigger? Lol no...  I have a list running of various things to upgrade, I am not sure what trigger to get. Had been looking at a larue mbt |

I'd make the investment in a Geissele High Speed National Match. If money's tight you might be able to get one used off the EE. If you can't find one, then Geissele SSA, and finally a G2S (I got one direct for $99 last year on a holiday special -- maybe Christmas?). I have no experience with the Larue trigger, but for what Mark asks it's a deal. I have a number of Krieger-Milazzos and a whole bunch of Geisseles. Rules for Service Rifle says the trigger has to lift a 4 1/2 pound weight off a table without firing. GI triggers start at around six pounds. |
