Yes! And that was good advice. After throwing some CLP oil on it, I die fired it several dozen times and it freed up a bit. I just want to say that, for the money, this is a great weapon. They could have made a better trigger standard, but then the price would go up and people would bitch about that. I may eventually put a new trigger in it, but it's not such a big deal that I need it now
An Leo buddy of mine spent over $2K on a DD rifle. I've fired it some.
It came with fixed irons and an aimpoint pro. Neither was even bore sighted.
The trigger has a "bad spot" in it. Maybe it will clear up maybe not, but it sucks. One of the worst factory Ar triggers I've shot.
But otherwise, the rifle is pretty accurate and works fine. Didn't seem worth the $ to me, though.
I hated the trigger on my DDV5, ended up going with a ALG Combat and having a gunsmith smooth it out after that, wonderful. It was a $60 change, but well worth it. DD if you're listening, your trigger is your Achilles heal
I get nervous about gunsmiths messing with AR triggers. I have a pile of take outs that have been "worked on" in my parts box... but I'm affraid they're Bill Springfield nightmares waiting to manifest... The whole surface hardening thing is something I don't like to mess with.

The actual tuning of a trigger is not hard once you understand how triggers work, which unfortunately (or fortunately) is becoming a lost art. You would be amazed at how many 'gunsmiths' do not understand the difference between a positive, neutral, or negative trigger. But when customers ask for a trigger job on a GI trigger I try to bump them to a Geissele G2S after explaining the hardness issue and how the engagement surfaces will wear much faster and potentially become a safety issue.

I have two people, gunsmiths, that I trust fully with working on my guns, but it does take trust. Gunsmiths aim to please because their reputation rests on it. If you want to get a trigger done, ask around and start a report. My trigger is not as nice as a Geissele, but it improves the hell out of my DD.
I have a few DD rifles and a few LMT rifles. Some have excellent factory triggers, some not so good at all. Brand has nothing to do with it, its the GI trigger. They are not precision cut like high end 2-stage triggers, aren't coated in special finishes for smoothness, and are not tuned. Its the luck of the draw with standard GI triggers.
