Hey y'all. I'm new around here and came because I found it fitting as I have just purchased a S&W M&P 15. Not only is it my first AR, it's my first gun, and I absolutely LOVE it!

The only thing I would like to change is the trigger break point. It came stock at 7lbs, but I would prefer it at something more around 3.5 or so. Can this be done by a gunsmith at a reasonable price?

About how much would it cost? Also, how long does it take to get returned?

Believe it's in the $40.00 neighborhood depending upon how light you want it. E-mail the guy

I've heard nothing but good about him or his work.

ill copy the email i have saved from bill...

I can set you up your S&W runs $32 each, for the 4 lbs pull; add $14 for a 3lbs pull. This
includes a lighter spring kit and lightening of the hammer for more positive
primer ignition. All trigger creep will be eliminated.
I need the trigger, hammer, disconnector, and their associated
springs .

On a fighting/SD weapon, I would keep the 7# trigger pull. It will smooth out with use.

Yeah, but doesn't more squeeze affect accuracy? Also, it's not for SD unless some dumbass breaks into my house, I got it to blast some hogs and varmints.

I polish the sear surfaces, and shave the bottom of the hammer to shorten the pull. Gets me down to about 4.5 lbs.
