Spare Trigger Group Review
Hi everyone;
Just got some spare parts in for my M1A's, in this case a trigger group from keepshooting.com Looks good so far. Dropped right in, locks up tight, and dry cycles fine; passes all safety tests. Workmanship is on par with the group that's on the standard SAI M1A for what its worth.
For $130 + shipping, looks to me like a good way to put some parts in your kit bag. Right now my parts inventory is firing pin, extractor, ejector, set of springs (including several magazine springs) and now a trigger group as a drop in spare. Next up will probably be some parts for the gas system and a synthetic stock for field use. Love the walnut but don't want to ding it up too badly.
Also just got a pair of 20 bangers from Midwayusa. Apparently Checkmate has changed their finish or tooling a little since these are lighter in color than the ones I've gotten directly from checkmate in the past. My guess is that it means they're cranken' 'em out faster and the finish is thinner. No problem though - glad to pump up my mag reserves any chance I get.
Haven't had a chance to get 'em to the range to try 'em out yet though.
Hope this is useful to someone.
All the best,
Grumpy
