    Default trigger job or drop in

    I tried using the search function,but I'm not able to find anything on this. but my current AR is setup pretty much to be a bench rifle. I was looking at the timney 3lbs drop in but for a bench gun I would like it a little bit litter then that, preferably around the 1.5-2lbs mark. I've looked on brownells and I couldn't find anything close to that. But I figure with all the knowledge on here you guys would know where I can go to find a drop in close to that or someone local that I can take my lower to and have them do a trigger job on it instead? Thanks for the help guys and I'll get a pic of my rifle tomorrow after the battery for my camera re-charges.

    When we are talking about sub 4lb triggers - the weight of the trigger pull has much less to do with the accuracy of the shot than the crispness of the break.

    This has been proven over and over again with olympic and palma shooters.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    I will agree with you on that. Even with my 10/22s I've built I have one that I had a custom trigger done on it and it's 1.5lbs and another that I put a kidd trigger job kit in that measures 2-2.5 depending on the gauge. I enjoy shooting the 2.5lb trigger more cause it is crisper and breaks where I want it. But for my bench guns I like to be below 3lbs, it's just a personal preference of mine. I would rather have a trigger job done actually to save a bit on money, support a local business and get the setup I want as far as where it breaks and crispness.

    Put a Jewel, Jard or Geissel in it. Any of them will be capable of the 1.5# mark but as mentioned before, a crisp breaking 3# will be all you need.

    A "trigger job" on stock AR components is generally a short term proposition. They are case hardened just a few thousandths deep and most of the time by the time you stone out the factory surface to a nice polished surface the case hardening is pretty much gone. I have done rifles only to have the customer come back a few hundred rounds later saying the trigger went to mush.
    After inspection the nice crisp edges that were polished to a tea went south and were rolled and battered.
    I'm all for making money but I want to see a customer spend their hard earned money where they are going to reap the best result for their dollars spent.
    Spend the money on a quality trigger and never worry about it again.

    The SD3G is just fricking beauty personified. It is perfect in every way.

    Besides that its just stupid fast.

    I just checked out your website and I need to get in contact with you about some work on my 1911s and possibly some other work
