I ran across I nifty thread while searching for AR triggers on sale this weekend and the guy that started a thread on a forum I’ve never heard of was in a position that many of us have been in, his factory mill-spec trigger sucks and he doesn’t have $150-$250 to drop on a quality aftermarket trigger, people were suggesting the various triggers that are more budget friendly and a guy shared a link to a kit sold by a company called Taylor Tactical that consists of a reduced power trigger spring, reduced power hammer spring and a “thread through” grip screw for less than $20.
I did a bit of looking around and I did not find a single negative review of the kit after an hour or so of looking, I have not used or own the kit and I just found out about it a couple of hours ago but for $20 I am definitely going to buy a couple and keep them around to use in new builds since I normally buy the “good” triggers for my projects last, no clue why but I do that every time.
Anyways, if you’re tight on funds and you can replace an AR trigger it may well be worth picking one of these up to hold you over for a while, and I imagine polishing the trigger while it’s out isn’t a bad idea, you “might” end up not wanting to buy a top shelf trigger if this thing works out for you, for $20 it can’t hurt to give it a shot!
The only caveat is that your lower must have the grip screw pocket drilled all the way through the bottom of the lower, just pull the rear takedown pin and look to see if you can see a hole just behind the trigger where the grip screw screws into the bottom of the lower, watch the videos in the link I posted and one of them shows you what to look for.
I’ll update the thread with my thoughts when I get mine in and installed.
