AR 15 Trigger Adjusters

I started a site selling my Stainless AR15 trigger adjusters. They remove most of the pre-travel in a standard LPK. They work can work with some aftermarket trigger groups too. I've been making them for a few years now. I finally decided to get a site going.

The price gets lower as you buy more. Only $3 shipping.

Trigger job

I'm in the other half of the country, so I don't know a shop to send you to.

~~~

One of the issues that you may encounter, is a gunsmith who does not want to work on that particular rifle. Some guns require a lot more time and effort to achieve a good trigger job, and sometimes the finished product is not great, but it's as good as it's gonna get. I've worked the bench, it is sometimes better to refuse a job, especially with a backlog of work. Reputation-wise, it's better to turn down work, than to turn out work that the customer will never ever be happy with.

Do consider how much money you're willing to spend on a trigger job, then compare this with the hourly shop rate, then decide if you'll be happy with just a so-so end product. On guns that do not have an adjustable trigger, all the work is physical alterations, this leads to numerous assembly/disassembly and testing which just eats ups the minutes on a clock.

Kids and Trigger pull

I'm going through a lot of literature at work as we are moving offices. I found this bit from a pediatric journal.

25% of 3 to 4 year olds
70% of 5 to 6 year olds
90% of 7 to 8 year olds

have the strength to pull 10 lb trigger - esp. if using two fingers.

I do recall some folks arguing that trigger pull can avoid a kid ND. I knew that was tested and ran across it today.

Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, 1995, 149, 1318 -22.

Lightening Revolver Trigger???

Hi Guys,

My wife's aunt and uncle recently decided to get a gun after a rash of burgleries in their neighborhood. My father-in-law gave them a Smith & Wesson J frame revolver that belonged to his father. I took them shooting and showed them safe gun handling and the basics of loading and firing a gun and let them try several of my guns as well.

The J frame they received is an older model that is all steel and has a shrouded hammer. The gun is still capable of firing in single action. The issue is that the double action pull is quite difficult for my wifes aunt and cocking back the hammer to put it in single action is also difficult for her. What I would like to know is how much can the trigger spring be lightened while remaining reliability?

I had her try racking the slide on some of my semi-auto guns and ahe had a difficult time with all of them. She was able to do it, but with great difficulty. I know some of you may recommend hand exercises, but she is already in her 60s. As for recommending that she check out corneredcat.com, I've already had her do that. The other option is for them to get a shotgun. I told them to always set their alarm, even during the day (since burglaries and home invasion occur more frequently during the day) and get a solid wood door for their bedroom. If the alarm goes off, the bedroom becomes their safe room and they just barricade themself with the shotgun. If someone comes through the door despite the alarm and verbal warnings, shoot them.

Any suggestions?
