| I'd been looking for some way to clean up and lighten the trigger on my AR 15. It's a lightweight carbine so I didn't want to put in a two stage trigger but I did want to lighten it up and make it a little crisper. A guy I work with pointed me to these directions and they work great. Very happy how the trigger turned out so I thought I'd share. ![]() ![]() ![]() 15 Minute Practical Trigger Job for the AR-15

| Looks easy enough to do. Are you still happy with the mod? Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Richard

| I just got back to work from a lunch time range visit and had to post a report on the trigger job. This is a must do for any stock single stage trigger!!! I love it. The trigger is much cleaner and did not have any issues with double fires or light primer strikes. I do have a tendency to jerk the trigger from time to time while running rapid fire drills (something I've been working on correcting). This time I rapid fired, off hand at 65’, two groups of 10 and the only spread I had was about 2 - 3 inch vertically. I’m very happy with this trigger job.

| One thing I don't do when I lighten up my AR triggers is cut the hammer or trigger spring. I bend it up a little at at a time instead of cutting. Bending the spring will do the same thing without major changes. Once it's cut that's it and if you cut too much off it's un-serviceable.

| No problem. My mod was on a DPMS parts kit and made a big difference. Let us know how yours turns out and what parts kit you are working with. I'm sure this improves some brands more then others.

| [IMG] [/IMG] I have done this type of trigger job several times but I bend the right side up out of the way on the hammer spring. Little bend on both arms of the trigger spring. I also use a cotton swab with polishing compound on it, to polish the trigger sear and hammer. I would take off the grip and take the safty out the way it suppose to be taken out. It is just one screw and put the spring and plunger in a safe place so you don't loose it in the carpet. |
