    I feel like it's a known issue with DD (inconsistent triggers). No one ever seems to complain about BCM lowers or their triggers. It might help their reputation a little if each DD gun came with a QMS trigger. It would barely add to the cost of the rifle.

    I think it's just a matter of who buys the guns, what they know vs what they expect vs what they get.

    I don't think anyone whose very knowledgeable on the characteristics of an AR ever made a big deal over a sucky stock trigger. It seems to be the noobs who think 'top tier' means all tricked out or something.

    The last four new ARs I shot were a Noveske skinny MOE, two Colt 6920s, and a DD V7lw.

    The Noveske and one Colt had horrific triggers that were perfectly acceptable, the DD had a decent trigger, one Colt had a trigger equal to, if not nicer than my QMS triggers.

    That's just how it is with these animals...

    Seriously? They make some of the finest rifles on the planet. Don't sell yourself short.

    In fairness to the OP, we yanked one of the worst GI triggers ever out of a DD LPK. Felt like the lower was full of sand.

    Triggers will smooth out. My creepy ALG ACT trigger has actually become quite tollerable after a few hundred rounds.

    I have a DD LPK in my build and I put my 1st 190rds through my gun yesterday. The trigger was smooth I thought.

    Daniel Defense trigger question

    On my DDM4 I have about 1700 trigger pulls and it seems to be getting better. When I first started shooting it the trigger was rough but seems to be smoothing out. I have greased it as well. Is there better spots to put the grease at; I basically put them on all the contact points?

    This is a picture of a burr on the sear surface of a DD hammer I got with an LPK last year. I'm sure it would have smoothed out over time but I replaced it with a G2S and haven't looked back. It was the worst trigger I have ever pulled new.

    A friend got a V7lw with a typical 5 lb rough trigger pull, but it had no creep. Just touched the engagement surfaces of trigger and hammer with a buffing wheel that had some Flitz in it. Cleaned it up and lubed with moly grease and its just fine- smooth, crisp and right at 4.5 lbs. Basically speeded up the break in process that would have occurred after a couple of thousands hammer drops. No harm in either dry firing a lot or speeding up the process with judicious polishing using a MILD compound.
