Dpms Lr-308 Ap4

Jer, whats a battle trigger? from the sounds of it I feel like I want one, lol

Maybe you do, maybe you don't. Depends on the intended use of the firearm in question. A battle trigger is simple and basic. It works every time because it has to because lives are on the line. A competition trigger has more adjustments for fine tuning but these adjustments also tend to lower reliability. So when you build a firearm it's always important to keep the intended use in mind when deciding on parts. You don't want a competition trigger in something you anticipate reaching for if someone's life is on the line.

Perfect example: over Christmas I took my LR308 back to Nebraska along with a few other guns to shoot. I took it out of my rifle bag and connected upper to lower and when I went to shoot it... nothing. Took it apart and realized the front set screw on the JP had worked it's way down a couple mm but where I keep it set to break instantly it doesn't take much. A little Loc-tight will fix that for good but the point is had that been a defense situation it would have been the WRONG time to find out.

In my 'go-to' AR15 I have the mil-spec LMT trigger that came with kit and JP springs for a lighter pull. Nothing else. Not as crisp or travel free as the LR308 but I know it will work w/o fail every time I pull it.

So when building a firearm know the difference between battle parts and non-battle parts as well as your intended use.

Stock trigger that is in the rifle-only good for battle.
If you are planning on doing any long range work a good trigger is a neccesity.

I put a J&P in mine and I am VERY happy with it.

brought it home friday, took it apart and cleaned it, this morning went up lefthand to shoot it, fired 100 rounds without and malfunction, way too much fun to shoot, not much recoil, magpuls looked great and did their job...all in all i freaking love this rifle, looks great! i dont have any experiance with other trigger but i didnt mind this one, only other gun is a glock so its a lot different then that trigger, but i didnt mind it.....

I don't even want to hear it. I just picked up a new bolt rifle in .338 Lapua yesterday which makes shooting my LR308 seem like shooting BB's in a cost comparison.

.338 Lapua? You may have to take a second mortgage out on your soul!

Not sure where your at, but look at my post in buyers intel for Cavim 7.62 NATO. The brass is reloadable, and it's a pretty good price for milspec ammo.
