m sprank Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I use Geissele religiously. They have enough of my money to buy a couple of HI end rifles. I love LaRue too, but keep in mind LaRue used Geissele until they developed their own trigger. I use LaRue scope mounts. What I would give for a full LaRue rifle... Geissele, Primary Arms and others should have a Presidents Day sale. Normally 15-25% off. Wait and buy a grip of triggers, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 DA/SA pistol triggers are not for novices to screw with. Let an expert do it who has the tools and knowledge. I'll go one deeper and say that even striker-fires should not be messed-with by novices. If a trigger-swap on an AR is akin to an oil or tire-change on the car, I'd generalize most handgun trigger work to anywhere from a clutch job to putting in a new turbo. It's far from un-doable, but it does require that the user be a bit mechanically inclined, and that they are willing to work at getting it actually right. A not of not-good can come from folks bubba'ing a handgun trigger, even "drop-ins." There's a reason the Forums are full of help-requested threads of that nature. The AR? It's LEGO. Heck, maybe DUPLO. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 it's why I laugh about all the stigma around an AR, of any guns made, they're the safest to operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I also learned to hunt, and sometimes still do depending on where and how I’m hunting, with a Marlin 1896. I still get nervous decocking that thing even though I’ve done it a thousand times.

Merc6 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Glock triggers are kinda easy compared to SCCY. Having to take that thing apart is what gave me courage to start the P80 build. I'm debating on the P80 V2 when they go on sale. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted February 14, 2018 I Donated Share Posted February 14, 2018 First Trigger swap I did was a drop in on my Ruger 10-22. Easy peasy. Even went so far as to swap the release in that too, wasn't bad at all. So when I bought my Mark IV Hunter, I said yeah no problem I can do the trigger on this too. Man. That was an ordeal. Glad I did it, glad I know how now, but man am I thankful for youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkey Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Ill swap triggers/parts all day - but tuning a sear/trigger is something im not sure i want to try. I had to trim a Ghost glock connector. Not exactly fun and pretty time consuming and frustrating at times. Especially when the gun locks up and you get to learn how to disassemble it the most difficult way ever. Just like with cars... i cant ever leave good enough alone. 05' LGT, ZFD Built 5MT, Stage 2 Cryotune 91/E85, 170,000mi running BRotella T6 and Ecoguard S4615 filters.

LOL yeah the whole take the back plate off the slide was fun to figure out after the fact. The Double Diamond connector was cool drop in on my G17 but my P80 NOPE. I ended up just leaving it in my G17 instead. When I go V2 I may try that again. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 after doing some research today I was stuck between the new Leupold VX Freedom 3-9x40mm and the Nikon P308 4-12x40MM Scopes, ended up getting the Nikon P308. The Leupold is too new for me to find out any reviews and such on it, the P308 has had a lot of great reviews and with it being made specifically for AR308 platforms, I decided it was the one for me to go with for now. The Nikon comes with a whole kit and a free app to explain everything you need to know about scopes if you're a total noob with them (me) so I figure I'll start with this, if I don't see it working for me, I can always sell it or Exchange it if it is something I immediately don't like.

chowser51 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Bah. I hate Primary Arms. I usually end up falling for their scam ads and buying something. /Sarcasm font needed I got an email Thursday while at work. Strike Industries Viper PDW stock on sale for $200. I said why not try it. Ordered it before noon. It got here Saturday. I installed it today and will test fire it tomorrow. Convinced the Sarge to put me on range all day because I have to do yearly inventory and some clean up �� Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) ^ Dang USPSUPSFedExDHL bastards!!!! I feel your pain. My EDCL2-T was supposed to have shown up on Monday this past week, and I came home early just to sit for it. The postman leaves, so I go on the computer, and yup, delivery magically got pushed to Tuesday. <sigh> I remember waiting the magical "6 to 8 weeks" for stuff I ordered from the back of comic books or magazines to arrive in the mailbox. Now, I'm mad because items don't get to me second day. Amazon Prime really has spoiled all of us.

THE RZA Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 UPS still says it’s supposed to arrive yesterday :lol: i was more so upset because I did go shooting saturday and was hoping it would come early-ish so i could bring the .308 and zero it in. Maybe it’s good that it hasn’t so i can read the booklet and learn how to zero it properly. Also waiting in a new 2 rifle bag that wasn’t prime eligible sounds like tuesday will be christmas morning for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 So tax return brought me christmas in February [emoji846] All reviews said this bag is just as good as drago and other name brands. Plus I like how I can add more mag pouches to the molle, be able to bring 2 rifles & 2 handguns in one bag. I bought this for the .308 but since I have neither ammo or an optic (thanks UPS) I didn’t get to try it on the .308 yet, but I did use it on the lwrc saturday and it’s a great little bipod. For $18 I may just order another one for the lwrc, or just swap the one I have back and forth as neccessary. And the real goods It is supposed to be nice out this weekend, I also hope these do come this week so I get a good range day on friday or saturday. Then I can actually say and get a good review of my .308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowser51 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Got busy yesterday and didn’t get a chance to shoot. On a brighter note CZ finally shipped my two P10C SR guns yesterday. Should be at my FFL tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I finally decided to "upgrade" my 20+ year old Mossburgh 590 for home defense. I had to mothball this one for many years due to my bad shoulder. But 10+ years of "rehab" and healing along with the forward progress of technology has allowed me to enjoy shooting 12g again. Amazing how much has progressed since I bought this gun. 12g quad rails??? Not in the mid 90's. Huge thanks to Black Aces Tactical for all their hard work and badassical parts. They are sending me a melee pyramid still too. But that should be the final change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE RZA Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I finally got to shoot the .308 today. Overall, I like this rifle. For the money it’s a solid rifle. I do need to practice more with a scope. Had some difficulty zeroing it at 100 yards, but also after talking with Penguin, I need better ammo (I was using federal 149 gr FMJ) Some of the flyers were from not handling recoil properly at first, I didn’t expect the recoil to be as hard as it was, i guess i’ve gotten way too used to 5.56 Then I started putting rounds in an actual target, not bad. Not great, but not bad. Then I took out the LWRC and shot at both 50 yard and 100 yard targets. Some sporatic shooting but I was also doing double taps for the first time with the Geissele [emoji4] 100 yards 50 yards very happy with how the LWRC shoots, keeping it as is. The MRO is fantastic and so is the geissele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
