Anybody have this done? What are your thought? Thinking of sending out 3 kits to have this done, one kit for the 3lb pull and two with the smooth 4lb pull.

Many have and most think it is an economical way to have your triggers adjusted/tuned. Most would also say that they would have Bill do it again.

I just finished putting his trigger job back into my Stag lower. I ordered Bill's 3lb trigger job with Match springs. What a wonderful trigger crisp and no creep. I compared that with my standard Bushy and there is a world of difference. My next lower will also have is trigger work done to it as well.

I have two and think they are excellent...especially when the cost is figured in.

In my two AR's I have a Timney drop in #4 and a standard mil trigger and I love the Timney and have had no problems. But I like to try new things and I been hearing alot about this Bill Springfield guys triggers. Can someone put up a link for him and is he the one that works on the Mil triggers you send him or do you have to buy his name brand? I can remember.

I have 2 of his 4 lb. jobs and they are a vast improvment over the stock triggers. Fast turnaround, highly recommended.

I have 3 of his triggers, all are 4 lb., 2 are in AR's and one is there for a spare. Great guy to deal with, quick turn around and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him.

Does he do anything different then just polish them? I took two kits out and polished the contact point my self with a buffer and some mothers polish, just trying to decide if he does anything more than just that or maybe just does a better job

 

[jim540]

The ones I have look like there is more than just polishing on them. I think he aligns the wear surfaces and and cleans up the contact areas.

Bill does full re-work on the parts. i had one in my old Oly plinker. 3# job. good and fast turn. the price is RIGHT too.

 

[Lastrites]

He also spots in a bit weld on the bottom side tail of the trigger to help with creep. Occasionally some have had to take a file and reduce his weld job just bit with a couple swipes of the file.

Other's I know DIY this by just adding a set screw up through the pistol grip screw hole, to adjust the tail of the trigger up. There use to be a DIY trigger job posted, but it was recently deleted along with a bunch of other posts.

 

[rushca01]

Ok sounds like he does a little more than just polish the contact points. I will shoot him an email and get a couple trigger groups sent his way.

Thanks for the replies

I was a skeptic; I couldn't imagine how a $35 trigger job could stack up against a $200 custom trigger. I have a 4# Timney modular in my LR-308 and really like it for hunting but decided to have Bill work on a spare trigger set and see how it compared with the Timney. I've got to tell you, I was amazed. I'm using the Springfield-modded trigger set in my 6.8 SPC build and honestly I think I prefer it to the Timney. Light, crisp, clean. No more expensive "custom" triggers for me--I'm sending all my work to Bill Springfield in the future. Quick turnaround, too.

I've installed about fifteen or so of the 4# version. Always with very good results. Only one needed a little filing on the selector for final fitting. These compare very favorably to the JP. It seems like about half of the JP's need fitting. Obviously the price is far superior.

The work Bill does is not just polishing the surfaces. He precisely grinds away from the hammer and trigger to create a shorter fitted engagement area, and then welds a bead for take up. I don't see that there is much work done at all on the actual finished parts of the fire control parts. This is good, as these parts are typically only surfaced hardened, and not much metal can be removed without breaking through to the softer core. That's why a lot of home trigger jobs wind up doubling.

I only wish he took PayPal or credit card.

Thanks for bringing this topic up. Sounds like I need to investigate! Has anyone tried the "Speed Hammer" modification? Is there any reason not to have it done on a weapon for home defense?

Not a problem, as I was at the range the other day shooting my .22 dedicated upper and I was thinking there had to be a cheaper trigger than 200 drop in.

I am sold and in the process of taking all my trigger groups out to send his way, sounds like I will be able to have them back by next weekend.

Cool, sounds like it would increase reliability across the spectrum of rounds out there which would be a big win in my book.

 

[Megalos]

how fast is his turn around?

 

[paulosantos]

Turnaround is about 1 week.

The only problems I ever heard of was of rifles doubling, which was easily fixed by filing down on the small piece he welds on.
