Super Sabra just arrived.  Dropped right in.  Pins were nice and tight... perfect.   Dry fired a few times:  worth every penny.  Geiessele hits another one out of the park.  :up:

  Well, they started out as Mil Spec triggers.   :pleased:   Agreed... the milspec parts can be worked fairly easily to get a very good trigger.  But for a ham-fist like me, things like the Geissele SD3G make it not worth the effort.  :rock:

Ironically, the lower is probably one of the least "performance critical" parts of the whole darn rifle.   If possible, I'd take the upper somewhere that would let you "test fit" a bunch of lowers and pick the one that had the tightest fit in the lugs.  it doesn't really help performance, but does make for a nicer "feel" to have a good upper/lower fit.

Whatever you pick (I prefer the Smiths, but the Ruger makes a great revolver too), be prepared to find more in your safe.   Revolvers are addictive.  I bought one... a year later I had half a dozen.  :up:

I just got my shipping notice!  I'm happy.  Looking forward to installing it.   I don't think it's gonna replace my ARs as "social" rifles though. 

Just got my Super Sabra ordered.  Apparently Geisselle has some to sell on the website right now.    :rock:

Wolff offers an extra power recoil spring for the 9mm Largo version of the Star B... 9mm Largo is pretty darn hot, you should be good to go.   http://www.gunsprings.com/Semi-Auto%20Pistols/STAR/A,%20B,%20M,%20SUPER,%20%26%20VARIANTS%209mm%20LARGO/cID1/mID61/dID276   I'd try and find a stronger mainspring as well... (those guns might use 1911 mainsprings, I don't know).

The "pull" (rather than the standard "push") method of bullpup trigger linkage used in the Tavor actually lends itself well to having a nice trigger. It just took Geiselle and a couple other companies to make the better components.

  The stock trigger is actually pretty nice, just very heavy.  The break is crisp, very little creep, the reset is excellent.  It's just really, really heavy.  And that's likely by design, it's a general issue combat rifle designed for a conscript army after all.

Got mad on the night of the stupid rollout (along with a zillion other people).  My name is on the notify list, but I'm not sure when I'll actually get to buy one.    I will have one in my gun though.

  Up to $100 bucks or so, you're probably right.  But if you're willing to move of to $200-$250, a good trigger is going to get you the most noticeable improvement for your dollar.

If you already have an AR, or access to an AR, I'd strongly recommend shooting a few matches before planning your build.   There's a gazillion options out there for pretty much every part on the gun.  Trying to figure all that out is hard enough if you have shot matches.  Trying to do it "blind" seems like a recipe for either spending way too much money, getting stuff you aren't going to be happy with, or both. 

We need more armed people.   I dream of a society in which striking a person without provocation carries at least a 50% chance of being gunned down like a rabid dog right there on the spot.   :2cents:

Okay, is this your first AR, or just the first AR you're going to build?  There will be a follow up question.  :pleased:

Anyone know a really good looking girl that can shoot a little and doesn't mind wearing skimpy clothing?  :up:

  A running clock can do funny things to a shooter.  I've spent the last couple of decades learning that.  :rofl:

The entry-level AR market just got a huge new player.  Big shot across the bow at PSA and other inexpensive AR companies.   http://www.ruger.com/products/ar556/models.html   Ruger MSRP of $750 should put "street price" somewhere around 6 bills.

If you're planning to shoot suppressed, the 5.5 is going to do a better job of keeping subsonic rounds subsonic.   I have an SBR AR 9mm with a 4.5" barrel... I really like it.

  Indeed.   Believe me, if somebody repeals the laws of physics and develops a .50AE pistol that holds as many rounds, is the same size, and is as easy to hit targets with as my SP-01, sign me up. :pleased:

  Better?  Maybe.  Enough of an improvement to justify the decrease in capacity (or increase in weapon size) and slower follow-up shots?  Nope.   If you look at just a projectile... sure, the .45 is the one I'd rather have.  But we aren't throwing the things at bad guys.  These bullets are stuffed into cartridges which are stuffed into guns which are stuffed into hands that are attached to people.   Weapon selection should be looked at with a "total system" approach. 

Man... this is probably gonna cost me money....

Used S&W 5906.  Accurate, excellent trigger, cheap mags, and built like a tank.   I think Bud's still has some for $350.   Heh... beaten to the punch by two minutes.  

While some law enforcement agencies have transitioned to larger calibers from the 9mm Luger in recent years, they do so at the expense of reduced magazine capacity, more felt recoil, and given adequate projectile selection, no discernible increase in terminal performance.   That's it right there.  Boom.  Headshot.   How in the world was such distilled sanity and common sense produced by an agency of the federal government?

What range are you planning on taking the shots?  For predators and small game, you really don't need the heavier bullets unless you're needing to get pretty far out there.   And 77gr stuff is about the heaviest that you're going to get to feed through an AR magazine.

  Oh I'm sure they will... they already have.  That's cool... it's a discussion forum not a "everybody thinks the same way" forum.  :up:   I've used both speedloaders and moonclips quite a bit in various gun games, training, and various shooting.  The moonclips are faster, simpler and easier to use, with less "disaster potential" than speedloaders, and offer much more positive extraction.
