    He turned mine around within a week... you contact him ahead of time to let him know it's coming, and he does it right away.

    I've seen some of the stories of failures with Springfield trigger jobs, but they seemed to be few and far between, and I've seen legions of positive reviews.

    LMT has a pretty solid trigger.

    This last post is the best advice you have got so far, IMO. I had my LMT trigger done by Mr. Springfield but didn't like it. To be fair tho, I was used to a Krieger/Milazzo in my Service rifle. LMT now sports a JP Rifles trigger. All that being said, Giesselle would be my choice now.

    I have a Bill S. trigger on one of my AR's and it feels good, crisp and consistent. I have been using this trigger for about 2 years with 6000+ rounds on this 16" carbine.

    I decided to go a different route on all my other AR's since I like the feel of a take-up / break for precise shooting when the situation calls for this.
    With some ruby stones and diamond compound I was able to bring all my single stage triggers to work as I described above with very, very little material removal while removing grittiness and creep.

    To find what works for you requires time behind the wheel and in the situations you would be required to use the gun. I can't give you the correct item to purchase just a suggestion to try a few styles while training.

    Here's one for Geissele. I just installed an SD-C (It's got the 'guts' of an SSA and a flat trigger bow).

    I've used a Springfield trigger. Based on feel alone, the Geissele is still obviously better (and crisper). The bonus is that it is ALSO a full-fledged combat-ready trigger...tolerant of drops, shock, fouling and mud in ways that other 'match' trigger could never be.

    Buy once cry once....get a Geissele and be done with it. If you shoot one, you'll be ruined for all but a KAC unit. It's that good.

    I personally recommend the 4.5lb SSA or SD-C (same guts, SSA has a round trigger bow, SD-C has a flat one). I don't recommend a lighter pull like one of the 3.5lb models for defensive/duty use....and you won't need one.

    EDIT: I should also note that I've got several thousand rounds through my AR using my stock trigger before the upgrade. If you haven't had at least 2K rounds through it, it's difficult for you to really understand what you want.

    Lastly, if this gun is for defensive use...getting an adjustable trigger on a combat gun is not acceptable. LMT, Geissele, or KAC tirgger that is non-adjustable is the best option.

    Is this absolutely true? I was under the impression they had more differences.

    In any even I just put in an SD-E and it is great. That said I would prefer it to be a bit heavier though it is a perfect match for my primary HD pistol. If the SD-C is a pound heavier but I have not tried it to feel how clean it breaks.

    I replaced my stock Colt trigger because it was VERY heavy and super gritty. I moly greased it and it helped a bit, but it made transitioning to my pistol unnerving because that trigger is so much lighter. My friend just bought S&W and the stock trigger is great. ZERO creep and about 6-7lbs.

    I own and have shot many firearms with custom triggers. Geissele's are outstanding.

    I don't have but about 1000rnds thru mine, but I really don't like the stock trigger. It just don't feel right to me since my other rifles don't feel that way.

    The factory LMT single stage triggers have been all I needed for a randy cain carbine 1 class that included 200 yard shots. I have them on an SBR and a 16" carbine. I don't see any need to change them.

    Having shot precision .308 bolt guns at 1000+, I think that is where the change is needed. I have just ordered a Geissele DMR for my LMT MWS which I will be shooting to +/- 800.

    I think I am going to go wit the $125 Geissele. I checked it out and think that is my best bet.
