    If your intent is to keep the stock fcg then lube the hell out of it (I use grease) and dry fire/run the gun. If your still displeased with the pull after the weapon has been broken in some then look at replacing it. Any of the triggers from Geissele/ALG will be a big improvement.

    I have an ALG ACT in the lower (BCM) of my dedicated 22LR AR and I recommend it. I replaced the trigger spring with the JP Yellow but kept the ALG hammer spring to insure positive primer ignition.

    I forgot to put in my Original Post that my Colt is a LE6920 Large pin. So unless I am wrong Geissele Trigger group is my only choice and I would get the SAA.

    I took delivery of 25 LE6920s for patrol use.

    prepping them from the street, some are really tight (when pulling the charging handle)

    and trigger breaks on some are noticeably different. In fact one I was installing a rear sight and a light, the trigger press and reset felt very odd compared to the others.

    much lighter and hardly any reset movement. If I hadn't already inventoried its location with Admin, I would have hand picked that one for me.

    mil spec calls for trigger weights to range in between 5.5-9# so its going to be a hit or miss for what you can get. You can get some nasty ones and some nice onces. the ALG Defense ACT/QMS triggers will keep them all consistent

It's not a Bushie design, Bushie just used it, someone else designed it, I forget who. Damn fine trigger when it worked which was most of the time, the rest of the time was the problem. The two set screws that adjusted the trigger kept moving and I didn't really want to have to keep playing with them or to sock down on the teentsy weentsy set screws which locked the set screws for fear I'd have to machine the damned safety out due to boogered set screw threads. Pretty much broke me of set screws in the trigger of a black gun.

    I put in a Double Star single stage trigger recently. Pretty nasty out of the box. It has cleaned right up with about 1K shots.
    Sounds like the old frank white trigger, IIRC a modified stock unit. I think they date back to at least the early 2000s during an era when trigger selection was finicky and limited. BM used them in their DCM model rifles, which I had. I was told at the outset not to expect the trigger to last more than 1k as they were maintenance intensive. Mine started to be difficult around 800 and I had a jewell soon after and never looked back (funny now since the Jewell trigger is a Rube Goldberg all its own, but held the line without a hiccup for over 10k)

    The FCG on my 6920 has just a hint of creep and then a crisp break. My BCM LW Carbine has twice as much creep, very noticeable, and not so crisp of a break. After several thousand rounds through each, I can't tell if there has been an improvement in feel over when they were both fairly new.

    At the range, shooting with iron sights, from different positions, prone, kneeling, standing, off a rest, etc., I shoot about 25% tighter groups with the BCM than I do with the Colt. I just left well enough alone and figured what counts is the final accuracy of the whole package, the rifle, the ammo, and especially the one with the finger on the trigger.
