    Same crap everyone else got
    I had a JMT saber 3.5 trigger that reviews said were know to have light strikes on steal cased ammo with harder primers. In my experience, that wasn't the case for me. I didn't have it long, probably 400-500 rds but never had that occur all with tulammo or wolf.

    I just got my 1st one(RA140) simply b/c it was on sale and I had some Optics bucks. It ended up being $83ish. I put it in my pistol lower and haven't even shot it. The only trigger I have any time with is my Elftmann 3-gun. It's an insane trigger. I just couldn't justify $275 for each trigger. I will eventually move the Elf to my SBR once it's setup.

    Finally got the .458 running nicely with cast lead to make it affordable to shoot.

    So I built a .450BM to join it. Big bore ARs are a stupid good time.

    I had some light primer strikes right after I put it in. I just couldn't figure it out.......so I had to take it to a gunsmith and let him adjust it. It's a much better trigger than I needed, but I built that particular rifle exactly how I wanted.

    This will be a fun project! Optics and mount finally came today. The mount is very substantial and has an RMR footprint on the 45's on the top of the rings. Optic looks crystal clear, reticle is easy to see and use, locking turrets.

    I like swampfox. I have a few of their red dots and that same arrowhead scope. Individual rings though.

    I’ve always been a Leupold fan but I got two of Swampfox’s Blade sights for other guns and have been thoroughly impressed with them. This also offered green illumination which I can see good. Can’t wait to get it mounted

    Just messing around with this one, I call it the Trash Rifle, cuz it's made from leftovers from a few other projects.

    Its a no name blem upper, with an e-bay tube. Ironically all the functional parts are fairly nice. HyperFire trigger, BA barrel, Toolcraft BCG, LaRue furniture, SLR adjustable gas block, Some Strike Ind. and BAD bits

    Bw s256 turbo with 3 in glass pack dumped pre axle raptor liner bed and top rails and fenderflares and rocker panels. Hunter side steps.

    After I brought the scope down 3" I let the 7 year old have a turn, 50 yards and that is a dead deer if I ever saw one. Youth hunt is about a month away; hopefully everything comes together. Pretty proud of that trigger finger discipline. It's a dpms and the stock trigger is just better than absolute garbage; can they be polished or is there like a cheap spring kit to make them any better? Feels like it's got an empty Coke bottle in place of a spring

    I have heard this before about this trigger and many have had to adjust it for it to work correctly

    This was the first drop-in(actually anything other than mil-spec). I got this in 2017ish I think.
