Bill Springfield Trigger

[M96SS]

I'm about to take my Colt apart to send the trigger pack in for an upgrade, has anyone already done this and how did it turn out? 

[rodent.22]

keep us posted, I've heard of it but haven't seen any results... :beer:

[M96SS]

I will, I'll probably send it out Thursday after I hear back from Bill. I really can't do any 'scientific' testing but I can probably describe it by a 'seat of the pants' feeling. I usually run about 300-400 rounds through the Colt in any one session and I can really feel it in my hand by the end. I can do the same in my work rifle and not nearly feel as 'tired'.

Please let us know - my Colt/Um M-4 measures 10.5 lb trigger pull - after honing. I put a lighter spring in the trigger and it went full auto.

Thanks!

Let us know how it comes out. God knows the little Colt can use some trigger help.

How true - I put the trigger group in the vise before I packaged it, and measured 8.25 lbs pull... Grrrrr.

TM did you ever get your trigger group back?

[techmike]

Hey Buddy, I just sent it out today, USPS Priority. Hope to get it back in a 7 to 10 days. (I hate to open the one gun safe - poor little M-4 in pieces).

Loved ones in the hospital is so hard  :o

[raiders]

Did you get any kind of specs of what he can do to the trigger?  Or is just going to be for trigger pull? 

[techmike]

My understanding is that he stones & hones. For $49 I will go for it and see what happens.

My trigger has arrived at Bill's place in Colorado Springs.

I am sending my trigger pack in tomorrow.  Here is what Bill emailed me when I asked what he did the the trigger group.  I slightly modify 2 internal springs, polish and adjust the hammer sear angles.  :thumb: When I asked what the trigger pull would be this is what he replied.  It averages 4.5 to 5lbs, I try to get the best pull out of it that I can. :P  I hope this helps anyone thinking about doing the trigger job form Bill.  I know TM should get his back sometime this week.  Bill said the turnaround is 3 to 5 days.  Good luck :thumb:

Thanks for the info Raiders!

Trigger returned! The pull is now measuring between 4.5 and 4.75 lbs - much much better than is was! Getting ready to put the Colt back together. Range report to follow.

TM

All back together - dry fire is very promising! No creep, slowly increase pressure, then all of a sudden it breaks, very crisp. Can't wait to get it out to the range!

excellent

[raiders]

Yes Bill gets my trigger tomorrow so I should have it back by next weekend for shooting.  Thanks for the update TM

[techmike]

Best $49 I have spent in a while! Well worth it, shoots much more consistently. I may actually try some quality ammo in it now....
