Re: battle rifle trigger pull ??
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Unknown</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Battle rifle triggers in AR15's are vastly different in pull and design than match triggers. A gunsmith can reduce the pull a little bit by judicious polishing, but they have to be careful because if they go too far, they go past the hardened zone on the trigger and sear, then the pull just won't last. The "battle rifle" triggers are the result of hard steel designed to last a long time, stiff springs designed to ignite tough primers. Altering these design plans is what makes easier trigger pull, but at a cost. Just like prescription drugs, there is always a side effect.
With triggers the side effects can be reliability, resistance to dirt, inability to ignite really tough primers reliably, worn parts that allow the hammer to follow the bolt carrier forward.
That said though, I have had great luck with match triggers in AR's...but I clean my rifles, and try to avoid dirt, sand, and try hard to avoid allowing the junk that usually seems to get into the rifles in battle zones, or in harsh conditions.
Decent match triggers can go down to a couple of pounds and be quite reliable. But I sure wouldn't want them in a rifle that my life depended on, in an environment that precluded frequent maintainance. In life and death conditions, I would prefer a 100% reliable trigger over one with a nice easy pull.
Lots of trigger time and training can help over come much of the problem with the bad trigger. You can get used to much of it with practice and dedication. Sure, you can shoot groups a bit smaller with a match trigger, but the rifle will still be plenty accurate enough with a "battle trigger" in it. It just depends on what you need the rifle for. I have rifles with match triggers, and rifles with battle triggers for just that reason. </div></div>
i read this two times... and iam feeling better about the trigger pull already lol
