My new colt 6920 has a gritty freaking trigger! Im not sure if im just used to a nice, crisp 3.5lb pull of a 1911, or if this thing is rough. There is a large amount of creep it seems. Normal or not?:dunno:

Not too uncommon especially if you are used to a fine tuned 1911 trigger. I would normally pull the fire control grease pins re-install and grease sear surfaces with a quality type of lube that resists accumulating debris. Time and trigger pulls will also help.

Thanks.

This will lighten up the trigger but it will do nothing for the slack.

Pretty much spot on.

AR15's have decent stock triggers, when you compare them to EVERYTHING else, but some are better than others right out of the factory in my experience. Like was said, use and lube will generally improve them somewhat if you dont want to buy an upgraded trigger.

I dry fire my 6920 lower while watching TV. A few thousand cycles does wonders for the action.

I'm also one of the guys out there who thinks most stock AR triggers are horrible. I have no problem with FAL triggers, AK triggers, it's just the AR trigger doesn't do a thing for me.

I'm normally a big believer in "learn to shoot it as it is," but Geiselle makes some very nice AR triggers, if you want to drop the $$.

I found an almost night and day difference in the "grit" in a CMT LPK after putting a very light coat of moly grease over all the metal to metal contacts of the fire control group. It still isn't a match trigger by a long shot, but it is a bit nicer to shoot. How long the benefit will last, I have no idea.

As to it being worse than FAL triggers or AK triggers...I found, aside from the Tapco G2 trigger (the only decent thing the company makes) ,AK triggers are a lot grittier (lighter usually, but certainly grittier) than even the worst AR triggers I've fired. The FAL trigger is only a good trigger when compared to an HK G3.

Of course, if you're spoiled on a 1911 trigger, nothing but a Geiselle will probably make you happy.

I would agree with everyone that most parts kits out there provide ****ty trigger pulls...but they are robust and reliable. In a battle rifle platform, or in a SHTF scenario I humbly believe my trigger pull could be about 3700 lbs and with my adrenaline going it would probably feel like a smith tuned 1911 trigger! If you have goals of printing fine groups, ditch the trigger. If you are a running and gunning, leave as is with a little grease

Meh ... every COLT I have used (LE work) had a **** trigger. Shoot it a bunch and it will get better. Well, somewhat better.
