I shot the A5 system on my friend's DDm4v7 and was surprised on how soft it shot. Recoil impulse is like a push and was very easy to control and manage. Probably putting one of those on my next build.

I need to check into the A5 system as well. As far as bill springfield goes he has done several triggers from me and I have not had any problems with them. I've seen some others have but he has taken care of any problems if you just contact him. That's just my experience with dealing with him.
I have an A5 on order. I have often tried to figure out how to get a rifle-like recoil/buffer/operating system without having to use the rifle receiver extension. Commercial availability of REs was limited to carbine-length (e.g., carbine or entry length) or rifle length. I even once tried to figure out how to shorten a rifle tube for reliable cycling -- pretty much a non-starter for a person of my skills, but I could try.
I've got just the place to put it (the rest of my build parts are coming next week), so, weather permitting, I'll be out there giving it a whirl.

OP;
Do a little digging around on Bill Springfield and make up your own mind..About a year ago a guy posted on the HK board, that he personally took 6 HK pistols to Springfield's home for him to work on..He screwed up all 6..This poor bastard ended up sending them to HK, they found cut springs,rounded sears, rounded hammer engagement surfaces, this cost this guy several hundred dollars to get fixed... Call HK's customer service and ask for Travis...ask him his opinion on Springfield trigger jobs. Besides for a carbine that's going to be used for HD or SD,why would you use a trigger,hammer that's been altered, possibly compromising reliabilty? if you want a better than stock trigger get a Geissele and be done with it.. Sure they're not cheap, But they won't double or triple on you,and it'll probably be the last trigger you install.

Where's the best place to buy an A5 extension?
Big fan of the A5 system myself. I run it on my 300BLK Noveske 10". It feels almost better with my 125gr loads than my buddie's Armalite 14.5" Carbine gas with car buffer shooting 5.56
I would rather buy the kit from BravoCo than the full A5 from vltor with the EMOD.

And pair it with a STR, Sopmod or ACS....
Got nothing to say about Springfield in particular, but anybody who stones stock triggers without re case hardening the exposed surfaces is begging for trouble. I can't fathom why a DIY gunsmith would be willing to cut through the case harden on a part, and then not re-harden it. Either they don't know any better, or they think they can cut corners and get away with it.
I've re-hardened flintlock frizzens with a mapp gas torch, Kasenit, and a bucket of old motor oil. Basic medieval technology, folks. Not that hard to do. But for my time, money, and peace-of-mind, I'll stick to stock or quality aftemarket triggers in an AR.
