I have several of them, @ the time I bought them trigger options were limited, you didn't have the choices you have today. Over the years I've had them I've never had a problem with them. I have 10's of thousands of rounds through them over the past 6 or 7 years. I have friends with the same triggers their high round count guns that have had no issues.

I have LMT and Timiney triggers as well, while the RRA doesn't hold a candle to the Timiney, it's every bit as good as the LMT's.

great. and as for price point, would you say that it's a pretty good bang for the buck? i know there's some other options out there now, like the spikes battle trigger, which always seems to be out of stock everywhere i look...

Thought it was a cool upgrade until you said that. Kinda defeats the whole purpose if it isn't accurate -1 for Magpul.

Part of the new P-mags' spring is painted orange and is intended to be used in conjunction with the the numbers on the side of the mag. It isn't as accurate as those Countdown mags. Its more of an estimate...

think you need to move that rear sight a bit further back closer to the charging handle. 1. you want as long as of a sight picture as possible and 2. it just looks weird

you would have to have the head of a watermelon with the stock that far back and for that sight to be comfortable in that position lol. Plus if you ever plan on getting any type of optic or red dot it basically needs to go where you have the sight currently and the sight would have to get moved all the way back anyways. So i would try to get used to it as far back as possible.

The orange part of the spring is what you use when you're judging number of rounds not the location of the rounds in the window.

So here is my first addition to this thread as well.
Spikes lower from GB with DD LPK, stark grip with swivel (although I didn't break the ears on the trigger guard) and the ar 57 upper. Now if only I could go to the store and buy the magazines for this...
