LPK's and GI triggers

[Timmy59]

Many may be aware and I do not have a large sample size But. Aero precisions GI trigger is pretty nice for what you pay for a LPK. Prices are up since the C-19 bug but that's to be expected. Current sale say's ya save 9 bucks on the standard. Plus free shipping.

This and the last buy I made check out is VERY slow, Is there really that much being consumed ? And why ?? lol. The check out cart wheel continues to spin.

I haven’t put anything but larue triggers in my guns in a looooooong time.
I can’t think of the last Gi type trigger I shot. Larue is hard to beat for the price

This may be a dumb question...

Can you modify stock AR triggers to improve pull, or are these triggers a totally different design?

Thanks.

Not really. Technically you can polish and tune up a stock trigger, but it’s a matter of diminishing returns. It can also be dangerous.
And there is no tuned GI trigger that will ever compare with an aftermarket design. Given that you can (or could) get them for less than $100 it’s really not worth the time.

A pretty standard "fluff and buff" on the mating surfaces and the addition of a $12 JP Rifles spring kit will usually result in a fairly crisp single stage trigger in the 4-5# range. Some people will add a "speed cut" on the hammer to decrease lock time and improve ignition with hard primers. But as Grendelshooter alluded to, you start stoning hammer/trigger engagement surfaces and you can get in trouble pretty quick.

I put the ALG defense trigger in all my builds. The BCM PNT trigger is pretty nice too.

I recently ordered 3 White Label Armory LPKs from AIM Surplus. Never heard of them but they were advertised as the typical mil-spec LPKs. I installed one in a lower without any issues. I've since installed a second. The first one had a really nice trigger. Exceptionally smooth and crisp. Thought it was a fluke but I've since installed a second and it's the same way. I'm very pleased with them. And, they were only $34 (free shipping) each. That's a great deal for LPKs.

My two cents but my favorite cheap trigger came out of a Wilson Combat LPK. I can't remember if it has a logo on it or not
