so finally shot my ar properly after 2 years of ownership... bought back a leupold 3x9x40 mark 1 mil-dot scope from the states which is fantastic for the money nice and light too, and oh boy i'm not the greatest shot but i was impressed with the accuracy of the thing! at 100m most semi's i've shot are much to be desired on an accuracy level....got one 20c size group other weren't so great... my set up is CMMG with a Daniel defense .625 LW 1/7 barrel, shooting 55gr hornady training ammo was very impressed, had a few average shots but i think the trigger has alot to do with it, anyone else replaced the trigger on there ar and noticed a big diff ? but loving the gas in the eyes too....(lucky saw you guys saying it was an issue before hand and wore eye protection) adjustable gas block on the cards also..anyone stock em in nz ? but absolutely loving the ar platform!

I'm in the same boat as you. Think I'm going to start with a ALG trigger but have heard you need jp springs as well to make that good, may have to bite the bullet and go for a Timney or something. I'm used to 2 pound on my rifles but want something heavier than that for my AR, mine just feels like it's about 15

As far as adjustable gas blocks just get a seekins from brownells, about $100 delivered and 2-3 weeks

Replacing your trigger will probably help a lot.
There are some very cheep/free mods you can do to your charging handle to reduce the amount of gas hitting you, but these work best when combined with an adjustable has block

yeah mate i'm looking at this one, think i'll just bite the bullet and do it.... Gunsmithing &Reloading Tools - Timney Trigger - AR-15 Competition, AR-15

[res]

There are plenty of other options at that price point, check out nzar15, not that there is anything wrong with the timney-it's just that others have progressed.

[anderset20]

Yeah I'll be looking for something basic that's better than standard milspecs. I'll be buying through NZAR15 too because he sold me my ar and I'm more than impressed with it especially for the price it was

I find the trigger on my model4 stag not too bad. I need a scope, I can only shoot open sights / red dot to about 50yds, 75 max.

[anderset20]

The trigger on my spikes is the only thing I don't like about it. But it's still more than adequate it's just a personal preference. My last ar had a lighter trigger so that's what I'm used too.

brownells only have bloody .750 adjustable gas blocks no .625 so up up shit creek as far as i can see.... did i see a user on here drill and tap a screw to make his adjustable or was that somewhere else ?

[Beavis]

Yes totally do able

Does anyone have any clever options for slings on the a-cat style stocks? My AIS stock has a sling swivel point but I want it to be a QD point
