My Bushmaster carbine has a lousy trigger, with severe creep. I can feel the trigger slip substantially before the hammer falls, which ruins any deliberate trigger pull for a precise shot. The wear on the trigger surface indicates about 0.075" of sear engagement. That seems like a lot, but I don't know what's normal for a basic AR.
I don't want a "match grade" trigger in this gun. I want rugged & reliable "mil-spec" parts, if a reasonable trigger pull can be had using them (preferably without having a gunsmith work-over the existing parts.)
I have a RRA match trigger in my A1 clone, and while it's a fine trigger for target/plinking, it already seems to be going a little quirky (reset failures), and it's hardly been shot. I want reliability first in my carbine, and I'm wondering if a simple trigger swap might bring the trigger pull up to par? The wear on the hammer surface seems relatively even, so I think the problem lies mainly with the trigger.
