Bill Springfield AR trigger work, anyone?

dirtyd · Jan 5, 2014

I've decided to replace my mil-spec AR trigger, (especially after my last range day). Anyways, I found some research I had done regarding work on my fathers AR's and came back across this gunsmith. Anyone else had work done there? I think this is what I may do as opposed to Giessle or Timney.

if you dont want to spend a pile of money on a drop in trigger and are not just punching paper, you should be happy with Bill's work.
Had him do mine a few years back, works great.
you can find a lot more information about his work on AR15.com

Thanks for the info, I checked out some posts over there. Seem less than enthusiastic. My plan now is to save for a Gieselle SSA or similar and just go all out. My guns fairly magnified and I use it exclusively for range and coyote work so some of my shots are out there. Kinda have a pet peeve for nice groups at the range too.

Geissele are worth it! Look at their SD line. I have a sd3g and an sde iirc. Very nice triggers.

Bill Springfield trigger is good. I had one and the only issue I ran into was in my 308 with hard military primers. The JP springs just didn't have enough oomph. Since then I have gone to Geissele, worth every penny, and no light primer strikes.

Geissele, SSA runs any primer and the buy once cry once applies on this purchase.

Yea, I just read a number of reviews about some of his triggers going full auto. I'm sure a majority of his work turns out fine but I just dont wanna risk it since I shoot at the range quite often. Geissele just seems like the surefire way to go at the moment.
