remington r-25

quemas

i'm trying to lighten the poundage on my r-25 trigger. I was told i would have to buy an aftermarket trigger in order to do this. Anyone else having this problem?

Not sure what the problem is. They come with a standard non adjustable trigger in them set for a single weight. If you want and adjustable trigger and/or one with a lower weight you will need to buy one that is built that way. That is the way your bought your gun, that is not a problem.

This trigger design has been around since the 60's when the AR-15/M16 came out. My understanding is that the triggers are the same so pretty much any AR trigger should fit but you might do some research before trying to order a AR-15 trigger.

Try a search for Bill Springfield. He does some good trigger work for AR-15's. I do not have his web address in this computer. You will have to take the fire control group out and send to him. He also sells a fire control group already setup.

IIRC the parts are the same for the AR-10 style but not sure. Bill would know.

Well, the words of the wise are to replace it with an aftermarket. The timney is a good one, and in my DPMS LR308, I replaced it with the Bushmaster 2 stage competition trigger. I also tried the Jard trigger, but it repeatedly came out of adjustment.

Look for an Ar10 reduced power spring kit and Good instructions on how to polish the bearing surfaces of the FCG..

A spring set should cost you no more then 10-15 dollars, I have done this with several ARs, trigger pull is generally reduced from 8-10 pounds to 3 and a half to five pounds... there is still generally some creep and grit in the trigger, but it makes it good enough that it wont pull you off the intended POI..

I have a few ARs including the AR10 type platform (DPMS) and use the RRA two stage. It's an easy drop in fit and works well. I'll admit to not being the serious AR shooter, mostly casual and a bit of 100 to 300 yd target shooting.

You can get one at AR 15 Sales LLC for $99.00.

quemas,

Rarely if ever will an AR arrive with a decent trigger, it's just not in the cards or the minds of the designers/manufacturers. To me, this is not only a disservice but a waste of resources to intentionally have to replace a factory trigger with an aftermarket in order to achieve good trigger control. Yes, I know you can send your factory trigger off to so-and-so for tuning but the effort is the same.

A simple spring change is not the way to handle this situation. I realize that this is economical but it doesn't solve the whole problem. Skip the effort and cost, replace the whole trigger.

I have sent you an e-mail with a link to a comprehensive article on AR triggers and testing. Please read it before spending money, it might help with your decision.

Best.
