just got it wednesday. i installed it tonight and lent the AR10 to a friend as he wanted to run a few hundred through it. that'll loosen it up and i can test it then...

the AR10 trigger does have slightly heavier springs, but keep in mind it also has a much higher mass hammer. the combination makes the difference on the hard primers and such. the lock time is a bit slower, but frankly in this scenario you don't get something for nothing. lower lock time is certainly better, but being relative you have to keep it all in perspective. i'd much rather have a reliable ignition source as opposed to a few miliseconds difference in lock time for all practical purposes.

more to come...
