It's done. Got my bcg and trigger in today. That jmt saber trigger is a really nice, clean pull. Quick change of the gas block for legality whenever its in New York and I'm gtg.

Very nice! I have to say I'm glad you changed the grip. The hex pattern grip looked cheap to me, no offense meant. Is that a Primary Arms red dot?

So I'm trying to pick out a trigger. I have nothing against milspec but I wanna find a good trigger for my AR. I already have a lower parts kit picked out lacking a trigger. Theres an AR-stoner one on sale for 20 dollars, do you guys think that one is fine or should I go better for a single stage trigger? <100 dollars please.
On sale for $80 at Primary Arms. I have one on an AR and one on a PCC. Much better than milspec.

Finally shot it today. That miculek brake works wonders, it's like shooting a 22lr. Follow up shots won't be a problem. Accuracy seemed great considering I was using a red dot. Also the thing is damn light. I need to get a scale that can weigh it. As for the trigger. Nice clean break, good reset, the only complaint is that putting it on safe can be kinda hard with your grip hand. Had to use my offhand to do that. Down the line in want to get a better bcg for it. Right now it has a brownells nitride one. Good, but we can do better.

Also an adjustable gas block would make things easier shooting.

No need for a different bcg. You wont really gain anything. Unless you want to go way lighter for your adjustable gas system.
Get a titanium bolt and an adjustable gas key. Adjustable Gas keys are far better than the adjustable gas blocks.

After seeing how light this one is compared to my first one, I am considering dropping a few more ultralight parts into it. So far every ar ive built has gotten lighter than the last. I also want the adjustable block cause when i ran it like a normal ar in semi it felt a touch bit overgassed. I really like the alg handguard on it though. I'm sure i could drop a few ounces by changing it out but its probably my favorite that I've handled so far.
I just arranged shipping the lower to my FFL. I haven't had the time or money to actually start a build. Since I don't have an AR, I will probably just buy a ~$500 kit from Palmetto State or something. I've had another stripped lower sitting around for a few years now.
I almost bought this one , but the reviews on PA scared me off a little too much. The reports of light strikes is one thing, but the reviews there mentioning double and triple bursts.. that's off-putting. Of course with reviews you never know who the reviewer is, what they know and what they don't, and what else they might have done to cause those issues. It's the right price still, but tough call.
Take a couple of years to build it if you have other guns to use. This way you can afford and build a sweet gun with a nice accurate barrel, expensive trigger and for looks the rail you like the most. I would rather take the time and build a sweet AR,,,,,,then to have one thats just ok

I understand what you are saying.....and i do agree
BUT
He should put SOMETHING together so he can begin to use it. So he has it. He has a lower already for years that he never built. If he gets one done then he can shoot it amd think about what options he needs or wants based on actual usage experience.
@NirvanaFan too bad you did not reach YOUR forum sponsor for your “$500 kit”. Maybe we have something for you.....
@Bullet Guy, Why buy your groceries down the street when you can order them from Amazon?
I don't get it sometimes.

Coming out of the closet? Good for you man! You should feel a big relief after hiding it for so long.
hopefully you get a contract.
That's pretty much what I'm thinking. Get one, even a cheap one. I can always build a better one down the line when I know exactly what I'm looking for.
"Palmetto State or something"
Probably should have said "somewhere" instead. I think we've conversed over PM about a kit. Everyone knows PSA does kits. I'd guess less know that you'd put one together.

Package came today. A fella on here recently posted something along the lines of, "I like my women curvy and my triggers flat".

What are the benefits of a flat trigger? Almost got something similar for my build but decided against it when I saw some really good reviews on that jmt trigger I got.Package came today. A fella on here recently posted something along the lines of, "I like my women curvy and my triggers flat".
Me too buddy , me too.
Honestly, different people will give you different answers on that but the truth, in my opinion, is that any benefits they claim are completely subjective. I'm not saying people (including myself) aren't really getting some benefits, but I believe they're (I'm) getting them due to an entirely personal experience rather than a specifically practical one.
Also, in this particular case those POF triggers normally sell for around $160 , and they were on sale for $99 . I don't have a lot of money to work with generally so I went for it because I've heard good things about these, the on-sale price was reasonable, and they come with the KNS anti-rot. pins that I would have bought separately anyway. The curved version of this same trigger comes with a factory weight of 4.5# , while the flat one is 3.5#. I'm all about triggers and how they feel, it's kind of my thing, which is why I specialize in trigger work when it comes to working on guns. So, even if I didn't prefer flat triggers on some guns (but I do), the 3.5# weight might have been a better starting point anyway for what I'll surely do to it beyond that. That said, while I have done one-off trigger jobs on various kinds of rifles just here and there, my main focus is and has always been pistols.
I'm not sure whether or not I'll like the smooth faced flat on a rifle, because while I love it on single action target pistols, I haven't used on on a rifle before. I may wind up making a textured trigger shoe or something, but I won't know until I have the rest of the parts to built a complete gun (which could easily be a very long time).

Sooooooo, as a Christmas gift I am going to be getting a Ballistic Advantage 16" 9mm AR barrel in Government profile. My plan is now to build my NYGF lower into a PCC. I've been wanting one for a while and while I would ultimately like to get a dedicated Glock lower, it will have to come later. So I was thinking of getting the new Tork G-Block adapter for Glock mags, a 9mm buffer and spring and a 9mm BCG. I would strip the current 5.56 upper I have put together for this NYGF build and use the applicable parts to make the 9mm upper.
