    One of the first indicators of a quality LPK is the roll pins. Spiral pins are stronger than split and tend to be easier to install. Beyond that, you are the mercy of the manufacturer. Stay with the big kids, and you shouldn't have a problem.

    I've tried stag, G&R, RRa, LMT, and DD. G&R IMO has the nicest trigger and goes in better than the others. DD would be my next choice but I still prefer to put G&R trigger assemblies in them. Stag used to be decent for the money but the couple of kits I got a year or so ago wasn't great.

    ***disclaimer***
    I have only had experience with 2-3 of each of these kits, I am no professional who sees hundreds a year, so my experience is very limited and should not be taken over somebody with the title of "Industry Professional" under their name.

    Some of you guys need to understand that the way your particular trigger feels is not necessarily indicative of a trend with that particular brand of LPK / FCG.

    For example, inspect a sample of brand new .mil Colt M4's. Go down the line and do a functions check on 15-20 of them. If you're tuned in, you'll feel differences in the trigger pulls. Some may be light and smooth, some may be heavy and gritty.

    Saying "my XYZ brand FCG is light and smooth" is fine, as long as nobody takes that to mean that every particular sample will feel that way.

    If you're so concerned with the way your trigger feels, you should probably be looking at Geissele anyway. For most users and most applications a standard MIL-SPEC type trigger (whether a good sample or a bad sample) will be just fine. If that doesn't apply to you, get a Geissele.

    Discussing the feel of a certain LPK's trigger will get you nowhere fast.

    In other words, at this price point, makers cannot control the manufacture of their standard AR triggers enough that they have any consistency of pull from one set to another

    But Geisselle can. I understand that what ever Geisselle is doing, a price must be paid and this is why they are more expensive

    I disagree. So far, it has brought about the understanding that the feel between two standard AR triggers will vary

    That's exactly the point I was trying to make. But you knew that already, didn't you? If you want to play with words go play Scrabble.

    PS. Don't get mad or take that too seriously. I'm pretty sure we're on the same page.

    Not to be snide, but no I didn't, not consciously. It was while responding to your post that realization came to me. Before, it was just a knowledge that in general, I am dissatisfied with the feel of the standard AR trigger. Now it's a knowing that getting a standard AR FCG is a crapshoot as far as feel goes.

    While I feel the discussion didn't lead to nowhere, I agree this conclusion doesn't require much expounding upon. As it turns out, you're right in that we're on the same page.

    PS- I was going to use "pontificating" instead of "expounding" but I couldn't resist putting the "x" down for a Triple Word Score

    I have since gotten two more Colt LPKs from Grant, and as expected, they're just what the doctor ordered.

    I don't like the notched hammer of the DD and the trigger was not as good as the CMT LPKs I have installed...

    I just installed a PSA LPK and have to say that the trigger is extremely nice compared to most other stock triggers I've felt. Not much grit or hang up through the pull and has a pretty crisp break.

    Only complaint is that the safety selector is a little mushy with not much of an audible click....but since I'm using this for a hunting and paper punching build, I don't mind too much.

    My experience with the PSA LPK has been the opposite. Trigger has lots of creep (but smooth with grease on the sears) and the selector feels very positive, not mushy
