Update: fired 5 shots cold from 600 as before with previous Spikes Tactical "Battle Trigger" that failed to catch the sear after <10K of resets.
Previous target had 3/5 and spread out to the edges of an IPSC target. The "group" size was around 15-16" (4MOA) for those 3 shots.
This is using the bottom stadia (3MOA) which covers the width of the 18" target at 600 yards.
Today the group for the first 5 shots ever (past 50 yards that is) on the trigger from a cold gun was 4/5 and 1.5MOA (8") with one off target as my zero was off by 1/2MOA and I suspect the missing bullet was just off target.
This shooting about 1per 10 sec from a pack and using a rear bag off a table as the previous group was shot.
Verdict.... Winner chicken dinner!

I just put a Geissele Rapid Fire trigger in my AR yesterday. I got it from Brownells for under $190. Its a single stage trigger but its so smooth and crisp you'd think it was a two stage. Well worth the money. It came with two trigger springs. One is about 4 to 4.5 pounds and the other is right around 3.5 pounds. The heavier one it perfect for a fighting rifle. I can't wait to test it out at the range.

Just to update, I got both triggers replaced by Spikes for free but with no comment on the ones I sent back. The new ones look like a different finish than my early model ones that failed. I put one back in the SBR and tested engagement. Looks good!

Looks like a painted coating that got on there too thick causing issues.

No, that's the new one and you are seeing sharpie marker I added to check the engagement. There is a coating of nickel-boron I believe on the whole system.

Yeah, thats a flaw in the steel stamping. And thats ugly.
Edit to add I think we are referring to the disconnector.

What are you guys seeing? The shiny bar line at the top of the disconnect is the engagement area that has worn off the sharpie marker I applied before testing it.

The disconnector. Those things are sheared, and sometimes end up with a very rough finish in non-critical areas. Its normal, as my Colt's and LMT's look the same, but ugly nonetheless.

Uh, from the looks of the photo, it looks like the hammer has scratched theses long grooves in the finish. You're saying that's sharpie, maybe that's what looks like a shadow on the edge of a groove to me.
