:eek:I just got my trigger from Bill Springfield and HOLY CRAP!!! This thing ROCKS!!! Its better than what I was expecting. No creep and breaks like glass! I seriously doubt a single stage could feel much better, and if it did, no way would it be worth the price difference compared to Bill’s work. I opted to not send my trigger in and buy one he had in stock, so for $100, I got a badass trigger and can keep my old FCG as spare parts.
So if your in the market for a trigger, you gotta keep Bill in mind as a great option. Sorry for sounding like a Bill Springfield advertisement:p Just thought Id share this since its prolly the best $100 Ive spent on my AR so far.
I had him do 3 sets of AR triggers, I’m a happy customer.
Got mine done too. I opted for the 4lb since the 3lb was way to
light for me.
I’ve had Bill Springfield do several of them for me (all 4lb, the basic job) and I am very pleased with them.
I got mine the other day too, this really makes me want to install it though 
You havent installed it yet? Why not? Git R Done already youll love it:D
He did a nice job on my 15-22…pleased with the 4lb.
Where an I get mine?
Every one of my FCGs has Bill’s 4lb. with speed hammer mod and I couldn’t be happier.
I love my Bill Springfield trigger…I have the 4 lbs
I love my two-stage at three lbs. I had done. I’m sending out a single-stage for a four lb. job…can’t wait!!
I got back 4 triggers from him yesterday. Installed 2 of them and have dry fired them. Very nice.
All std 4 lb and speed hammer mod.
GTG in my book
Done and WOW, NO creep and break is at exactly 4lbs. Don’t mind it at all
I won’t recommend them to anyone. I see no appreciable value or benefit to the trigger job, and in my case and MANY others the work he did resulted in doubling.
Mine went in the gun, and immediately after doubling went in the trash.
Fair enough, but Bill stands by his work. If there was a problem, he would have replaced it or in your case since you didn’t want it - refunded your cake.
I’ve seen a lot of trigger work on ARs, FNs, 1911s and Glunks… they don’t always come out right. The good 'smiffs stand by their junk and Bill is one of them.
It frankly wasn’t worth the trouble. “Call him, he’ll tell you how to fix it” etc. wasn’t something I was remotely interested in doing over a $30 service. Easier, and better, to simply learn to shoot and toss the mistake in the trash.
IMHO the VAST majority of shooters that go this route get more out of an equal amount of cash spent on ammo than on modifying the stock trigger to questionable results.
Come on Rob, that’s a little harsh. Are you suggesting Jerry Miculek doesn’t know how to shoot because he doesn’t use a stock GI trigger? That’s a little ridiculous. I can certainly shoot a stock trigger just fine, but like anyone I’m going to be a little faster with a lighter trigger with shorter reset. Concerning Springfield’s work I’m not sure I’d trust it in a serious weapon (serious can also mean one used in matches), but I’d certainly trust something like a Wilson or American Gold. I just get the impession that anything not ‘mil-spec’ is frowned upon here.
I have a trigger set done by Springfield and while it feels OK the actual work on the engagement surfaces is not very cleanly done and the actual contact area is quite small, so it is currently sitting in my drawer…
anything not ‘mil-spec’ is frowned upon here.
Not quite. Anything not utterly reliable, however, is rather frowned upon here, and for good reason. Sketchy triggers definitely fall into the category of “not reliable enough to put on my gun”. Much of the membership of M4carbine.net is willing to seek out the finer products out there vs. taking the chance on the cheaper solutions.
Mr. Springfield’s trigger work has a place, I’m sure, just not on my gun or on Rob’s gun.
The “learn to shoot” on Rob’s comment is more than likely meant as “learn to shoot the stock trigger”, not “learn to shoot” period. Don’t go looking for stupid arguments for the sake of it.
highxj, how did you get that out of rob’s post? he said his failed, and he discarded it, and he felt it wasn’t worth the cost. he said he valued practice over parts replacement.
you said you’re not sure you would trust one in a serious weapon. you said you got one in your drawer.
i did not read anything implying the skill of others. step back, re-think what you’re assuming, re-read what you’re saying.
eta: i have a springfield trigger in one of my ar’s. i have yet to develop an opinion of it yet
