How heavy is trigger pull? Most AR's are obnoxious in that respect... 7 1/2 lbs. is pretty much standard, and it sucks!! Replaced mine with a 3 lb. Timney, and the difference is unbelievable. Ordered a Velocity for a 22 magnum on AR platform project I have in mind. (
I'd already have it if I hadn't started turning wood.) Supposed to be an excellent trigger for considerably less money. Worst I've heard anyone say about it is, "It isn't a Giesely or it isn't a Timney." It isn't $250 - $300 either.
Have a kid that works for us part time, I grew up with his dad. Kid decided he wanted to build an AR so him and Dad ordered everything to build them. Told his dad he needed to go ahead and replace the triggers while they were building them, and he gave me a dozen reasons why they shouldn't. He did a tour or two in the Navy, is in Law Enforcement, so he thought he knew AR's. I told him to come by the house and try mine; see what he thought; I'd buy the bullets. By the second shot, he was sold. Only took the kid one round. I let 'em burn up a magazine just to watch them smile, it got bigger with every round fired. Both of them were still grinning when they drove out the yard!! Dad with a slightly used Timney I'd caught a sweet deal on in hand; the kid ordered the Velocity.

Velocity is sold out there at the moment, it'll cost you $10 more direct from VelocityTriggers.com.
Mine is a
DPMS Lo Pro Classic, local shop had it for $520 at the time, I won a cheap over/under shotgun on a game of chance at the local tavern, that I wasn't even a little impressed with, and really had no use for, so I traded it in, new still in the box, never even unwrapped it, and covered 60% of the cost of the AR. Put a cheap Tasco scope on it, but it's amazingly accurate. Have since added an adjustable stock, quad rail with light, sling, a really nice hard side lockable case, dozen magazines. It's almost as addictive as wood working!
