I've stuck a Larue trigger in all my AR's, with the exception of my BCM. At $80, it felt even better than my Daniel Defense stock trigger. But you are right, some of those competition triggers are exactly that....competition triggers.
My one and only AR has a "stock" Palmetto State Armory EPT (Enhanced Polished Trigger.) It's a Nickle Boron coated standard Mil-Spec trigger group with a bit of polishing on the trigger-hammer sear face.
It's a single stage trigger that breaks extremely cleanly with zero creep, but has to be around 6-7 lbs. I'd like a lower trigger weight, but I have two issues: 1) I don't want to go to a crazy low 2-3 lb match trigger for an all around home defense + plinker gun, and 2) I'm a tightwad and don't want to spend north of $150 for a drop-in two stage trigger.
Do you think the LaRue trigger worth the extra $80, considering that I already have an "enhanced" GI trigger?
