    I can't find anything on the 5lb spring. Did this ever come to fruition?

    Have you contacted Geissele? It does not appear to be listed anywhere on their site. You need to call/e-mail them for the springs.

    They've got them. I had a problem with suppressed stoppages that the forum attributed to my S3G not resetting due to the light spring. Not a problem with the trigger, just didn't work with my setup. Anyway, I contacted Geissiele for advice and they sent me a spring free of charge. Great people!

    Isn't this also the basic setup for the VTAC trigger?

    Can you expand on exactly what was happening in your situation, or send me a PM? I'm curious because I have the SD3G installed, and have had a couple instances of my bolt not locking back on empty...and this only happened when I had my suppressor attached, which seamed odd to me.

    [/QUOTE]I really think that these people getting accidental bumpfires and whatnot either do not know how to properly shoulder their weapon or have some crazy uncontrollable muscle spasms in their fingers. I am extremely happy with this trigger and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.[/QUOTE]

    I think that the few shots you took aren't indicative of a tendency or lack thereof. Get your self in a high round count high stress situation. Then you may start to find doubling issues. All that aside I love the trigger, but triggers are like shoes (or anything else for that matter) everyone has different needs and taste.

    Tons of rounds thru mine And many thousand on an AR Gold trigger before that. Only time I got a few doubles was when they were new and I was sloppy with the trigger. If you have a lazy you may have trouble.

    When I attached my suppressor, I found that the rifle had a tendency to go single shot. It would eject the spent case and load a new live round but would not fire. The trigger was dead. Or, in the alternative, every once in awhile it would go FA for a few before I got the dead trigger.

    I went to the forum as well as shooting an email to Gesielle and the consensus was that the bolt was outrunning the trigger so it wouldn't reset. Geissiele sent me a new spring and this seemed to solve the problem.

    On a side note, this only happened with my suppressed 11.5, not my 14.5 or any other upper.

    That is an interesting occurrence. I have a BCM 11.5 w/ SD3G and the 4lb spring waiting for a suppressor. Will have to see if I experience anything similar.

    STAMarine, do you know if Geissele sent you a 4 or 5 lb spring? Thanks for the info.

    The last few orders of SD3G that have come through us have all included both the 3.5 and 5 lb springs. I prefer the 5lb gold spring (essentially the Super V) and have most of my rifles set up that way, with a few still having SSA's in them for work with magnified optics.

    The only GA triggers that Ive never felt or shot with are the S3G, and the SD-3G.

    Ive owned three KAC 2stage match triggers, one LMT 2 stage trigger, and lastly have owned several stock Colt single stage triggers.

    I just received and installed a SD-3G this afternoon for the first time, all I can say is HOLY SH*T

    I'm mesmerized by this pull and reset. Bill and his team never seize to amaze me to the nth degree. No words will ever adequately describe the feel of the pull on this trigger.

    It's one helluva understatement to say that the SD-3G has reinvented the term "rolling" trigger. Absolutely silky smooth movement until you fall over the proverbial "edge".
    Glad you finally got to try one out and like it. I've been running the 3G's for a while and prefer them in my non-precision AR's.

    Didn't even realize how old your reply was..guess I'm a year late and a more than a dollar short. LOL
