That's how I describe it as well.It's a relatively light trigger as far as stock AR's go, but I would call it "spongy" with an unnecessary amount of trigger creep.
Exactly.I think the second thing Grumpy describes is basically what is being offered by ALG (tuned by Geissele) described by ForFreedom above with one standard and one with NP3 like coating. IMHO, its not a bad deal, and the work is done by the best in the business.
With all this talk of tweaking AR triggers, I would caution anyone to not alter or remove material from AR lower internals unless they are very familiar with procedure and possible consequences.
IIRC, Kevin Boland has commented that the KAC triggers aren't meant to go beyond 3k rounds of usage. Neither of the ones I had made it that far. That's pretty poor for a trigger that retails at $330My apologies as I misread your post.
The KAC 2 stage trigger is by far better than what is being used in the MR 556. It is the stock trigger for the KAC SR15 E3 and is better than most triggers shipped with factory AR 15s.

Not the first time i've heard this and I agree with your assessment.IIRC, Kevin Boland has commented that the KAC triggers aren't meant to go beyond 3k rounds of usage. Neither of the ones I had made it that far. That's pretty poor for a trigger that retails at $330
An Update: Sent the rifle back to HK for repair and had it returned within a week. They replaced the hammer on the gun, and now the trigger pull is pretty good. If you get one with a gritty trigger pull, I recommend sending it back to HK for repair. The only down side is that I'm out for my shipping costs to get the rifle to HK. Ruger will pay for shipping both ways. :biggrin:I just purchased a MR 556 A1 and received it yesterday. It has the worst trigger of any AR and newer semi autos in my inventory. The second stage trigger creep is terrible -- gritty and uneven. What really burns me up is that even a $700 Arsenal SLR 106 has a better trigger pull than this MR 556. It is headed back to HK tomorrow for repair. I am deeply disappointed in HK -- at least in the old days we had to put up with their attitude because they sold good products. Now, I'm not sure if I will be buying any HK products considering the lack of quality for the price.
