Now, Polyman I don't really care for the NFA trigger. Do you like them? I'm pondering if just doing the JP spring kit will help it, or if it all needs be replaced.

Well that's good news! That DPMS upper/barrel/BCG really is crap compared to the Spikes and now I can say it since you've sold it. Bittersweet for now though because your only 7075 lower also is leaving your armory. No big deal since down the road you can get a better rollmark when the craziness subsides.
As far as the 1/7 vs. 1/9 argument, it really matters little for 90% of the ammo most of us shoot - 55-62gr. What matters to you is will you likely be going higher or lower for the rest of your shooting. I go higher so I recommend 1/7. I see the Spikes a a no-brainier keeper.

Yea, I like the feel of the poly trigger. Mine are very crisp and the poly has a warm feel to me, nice and smooth around the corners. Is yours sloppy? You might have a bad one. The acuset (I believe I spelled it right.) Trigger has never given me any trouble. All my lowers still have the original trigger group. What is yours doing? Is it not working correctly or do you just not care for it? To tell you the truth my first plumcrazy trigger really freaked me out. I didnt expect it to last. I cant feel any difference in the pressure it takes to pull so far. You may have a bad one, Im really curious, is yours too stiff or not working properly? What is it you don't care for?

Well I had the JP yellow reduced power springs in my DPMS. It made it 3.5-4 lbs pull. I feel like I'm pulling 10 lbs on this NFA trigger, and quite frankly I couldn't get accustomed to it. I really don't know when it's going to break, and it seems like the break point varies. I ordered the spring kit to reduced the pressure, I'll see if that cleans it up. If not, I'll consider a different trigger altogether.
And Quentin, I knew you'd say that. But when I got asking price that fast, I was happy to part with it. I was a bit sad, it having been my first AR platform rifle, but honestly with only a trigger spring and quad rail as mods, I don't think I'll miss it to much. Making a bit on it will allow me to keep and play with that Spikes now.

I put it on armslist.com in the Atlanta section. A Sgt in the US Army purchased it from me. He was a really nice guy. Was in linguistics.

I will say, that many of the listings are "unrealistic" at best. At $1200 mine was just about the lowest priced listing in the area. The guy drove 2 hours from Augusta to North Atlanta to pick it up. I mean, there are guys asking $1400 for all the "parts to assemble" an AR in a package for the DIYer. I actually have a conscience.
To give you an idea how stupid some of the listings are, check this one:
