OK dont yell at me but---- anyone have info for doing a trigger job on my ar?
brother in law said he read from this here site about smoothing the trigger parts on
the factory installed assembly,,, AND YES I know the after market
kits work BEST but trying to save some cash right now and just wanted to try to ease up the drag and
slop out of my factory stuff.
Thanks

If you are doing just one trigger, this doesn't make sense.
You will spend a good bit for the required stones and other equipment to do the job.
Most 'smiths gain experience on trigger jobs by doing simple ones first, and the AR's trigger is not exactly the simplest.
I started out doing trigger jobs on old junk Mausers.  After I ruined a few, I got to be fairly good at it.   Then I branched out to other styles without ruining too many as I went along.
It really does take a bit of practice to do it right, and come out with a good, safe product.
I suggest you consider one of the good, store-bought units unless you are willing to spend the time and money to practice first.

I realize that the above may sound condescending, and if so, I apologize.   But some jobs require the right tools and experience to do properly and safely, and trigger jobs is one of 'em.

I suggest you might oil the hammer & trigger before you shoot. This slicks it up & makes it better than normal.

I have done a few (8 S&w) revolver trigger jobs before, just wanted to try on the ar-have 3 extra
factory sets so If I screw one up I do have spares.
my factory trigger has the feel of drag real bad- when you squeeze it you can feel "creeping"-two stages before it fires.
thanks for insite

Do a search on the "15 minute trigger job" on this site.
