    I won't :rofl: The doc told me he'd pay me to build him one. I said "Nope, I'll build it for free......b/c as soon money gets involved....it's no longer fun". I enjoy building more than shooting. It's "my" golf :D

    I've had/got a Midwest Industries Enhanced trigger, a RA 140, 4 Elftmanns, and the CMC(that was never actually shot). I'm sure it's all in my head(like a butt dyno), I just like the Elftmann's feel :D

    I put my first CMC in my 300blk. Just because I wanted to lighten up the trigger. Liked it so much I bought 2 more. I know there are better triggers out there. I just haven’t went down that hole yet

    The Elftmann may very well be better, but I honestly will never be good enough to know the difference. They are adjustable from 2.75 to 4lbs. And I like the fact you can adjust the trigger without removing it....and the sealed bearings.

    Same crap everyone else got
    Same, I build lots for my buds. Never will ever want anything in return. I'm just happy more and more of my close friends are starting to get into guns. I got a buddy that went full bore this year and went from one .40 cal ruger and a shotgun to adding a sig p365x, g19, Geissele 16in super duty, Geissele 11.5 in super duty (both uppers were $700 each with BCG's and CH's and then we built the lowers from stripped Geissele lowers and all G parts), a 20ga 870, and then yesterday he sent me a pic of a Dan Wesson Specialist he just picked up. He went hard in 2021 and it made me smile each purchase. Plus all the stuff that came to my house I was able to tell my wife it was his so the heat was off me :anonymous:

    Both G guns were built with all G parts much less than buying a super duty. I found almost everything 2nd hand new and used. The Specialist he got for $1500 and it came with 150 rounds. But Yes, he is a buy once, cry once guy.

    I brought my Elftmann in to work today to let a coworker check it out. I bought this on BF and just realized it's got an incremental adjustment knob. Apparently all of their triggers have these know.

    Also, for anyone wondering. Apparently any Elftmann trigger will work across the board. I didn't find that out until after I had ordered an AR9 one for $200 and then an AR10 for $164 :rofl:

    Ideally, 9mm should use a rounded hammer. Blowback ARs beat the hell out of those one piece triggers if hammer doesn't have the right contour. Ask me how I know.....

    Also another reason to make sure you've got enough buffer weight.

    My AR9 had the Aero buffer kit at 7.7oz I believe.

    I have 9mm, 40, 45 and 10mm ARs. I use an 11oz buffer in everything except 10mm, which is 34oz. The 45 is only a 4" barrel, and 11oz is still a little light. It's definitely too little with a 45acp 8 inch barrel. The 10mm will shoot full house loads, suppresses great, and doesn't beat the crap out of innards.

    Keeping the bolt closed as long as possible also helps reduce port pop with a can.

    I think factories provide light buffers so that customers don't complain about cycling issues. They work, but not ideal.

    I built it with all Aero stuff with exception of barrel and BCG. I have always been happy with my Aero stuff and know they are much better at it than I am :rofl:

    I’ve been reading on Reddit that you want to replace the 308 buffer spring that Aero included with a regular 5.56 spring. There was a post yesterday where the projectile was smashed into the casing but still fed because of the overpowered spring and it blew up. Link for reference.
