Just test fired a my latest build (Cavarms lower, RRA mid-length undercut by ADCO, 14.5", etc.) What a great combination, short, lite, stays pretty cool, good looking proportions. I shot about 200rnds and it went bang every time, extracted, ejected, held the bolt open when empty. You got to love it when things work so perfectly right off the bat. The trigger is as bad as I hae ever felt in an AR. It's got to be 9-10lbs and pulls the hammer back ever so slightly when pulling the trigger. So being a WECSOG kind of guy I bust out the old files and stones and go to work. This has always work well for me in the past but on this one I went too far with the hammer and now it releases the hammer when the trigger comes forward. So now I'm looking for advice on what to do. I can grab another $12 USGI hammer on monday from Cavarms, and maybe try a little honeing again. But I think my hammer spring is a big part of the problem. That sucker is noticably stiffer and harder to install than any I ever remember using. So I'm considering a RRA NM trigger kit that comes with everything done "right" for under $100. I welcome any help I can get. Kevin |

Kevin, Have a Jard and while it's excellent it's a PITA to adj. Requires applying Loctite then adj. So if you don't get it right before the goop sets...... It's not field adj. like a Jewell due to the Loctite and all adj. points interact with ea. other. Actual trigger pull weight is determined by the supplied spring. Beware of Brownell's as they don't stock the springs and only include Jard's 2 Lb. spring. Got heavier springs direct from Jard but are ca. $5.00 a piece + S&H. If you want a true single stage trigger capable of a 1 1/2 Lb. pull it's great! Went to a Jewell as it requires no "Loctite" and can be adj. right on the bench with just a couple allen wrench's and a supplied tool for the 1st. stage. Bugs |

Bugs, Can you give me a quick lesson in hammer springs. I've never used anything other than std. mil spec springs. Whats the reliability with some of the lighter hammer springs? I shoot 99% reloads so hard millitary primers isn't an issue. Brownells listes a "Superior Shooting" -10% spring. Is that much lighter than USGI? Kevin |
