Bill Springfield does a top notch job also.
Me too, on the shop gun here. 450-boy is correct in wondering about the trigger. Though tough to do, one can slow fire a bad trigger to prefect accuracy, rapid fire is another matter altogether. Good triggers are like Headers on a car, you get allot of bang for the buck and is the cheapest thing you can do for a positive dramatic effect. There are now many drop in's and I like them all. Of course one can work on the std trigger, but they are not engineered very well, in the ergonomics dept, having been made for Production Speed vs Cost needs. Any of the Garand Clone triggers are far superior and can be had in a drop in models or the trigger parts themselves are available at Brownells.com or other shops . I keep mentioning the "Drop-In", because these are by far, the easiest to deal with, for a none Engineer/Gun Smith/skilled amateur..
The following is an example of a std AR trigger, notice the sear engagement is very near the Hammer pin. this design, even though it works, is inferior to the Garand type.

http://www.brownells.com/userdocs/produ ... 0169_1.jpgThis is a Drop-in AR/Garand type, notice the the sear engagement is on the end of the trigger, the furthest point away from the hammer turning point and deserves further investigation, but is $280 bucks.
http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=5343 ... ar_TriggerThe following is a better view of the innards of the AR-Garand Type trigger, notice the sear engagement is on an extension 3/4 the way up from the Hammer Pin Hole, this is absolutely "THE" ticket for all semi-auto's, hands down, Kalashnikov himself, told me he wished he had kept the trigger of the SKS, which is a Garand Type (the AK is more like the AR's i.e., the sear engagement is near the hammer turning point)
http://www.brownells.com/userdocs/skus/ ... 1948_1.jpgOne other point, though I have a McCormick trigger on my shop test gun and I love it and I recommend it, this was only done because Chip wanted me to try it on my High Recoiling Gun (in other words, a freebie) and it works superbly. However, when I get Froggy, I will go over to brownells (
