Does anyone know a good way to improve the stock trigger on an AR without spending over $125 to get a whole new match trigger?

Buy the J.P. enterprises reduced power spring kit (can be found at brownells) or a similar one, this kit will lower pull weight to about 4.5-5 lbs. Then do some engagement surface polishing and there you have it, a smoother SLIGHTLY lighter trigger pull.

Thanks for the response. I have the spring kit on order. These are the yellow springs, right?

You can also try the "5 minute trigger job." Just google for it. I've had no problems with it and with a good polish, it is leaps and bounds better than the stock trigger.

I believe that for bill springfield, 35 bucks will get you a 4# trigger job which is very sweet, I have one in my carbine. and $49 will get you a 3# trigger job including the yellow spring and a cutting the hook off the hammer to lighten it. I have a 3# trigger in my SPR-ish, and for dry-fire it is even sweeter (won't get to try it w/ live fire until this weekend). I believe his email is [email protected] or go to Trigger-Work. Those prices involve mailing him your trigger parts.
