It's a bushmaster.  Might not have to worry about it though.  I found a 2 stage competition trigger straight from bushmaster, should be a drop in replacement.  Anyone else use one of these?

The Bushy 2-stage will come in pieces (the Timney and McCormick triggers come in a single unit), so you'll have to be familiar with the trigger group in order to drop it in without too much stress.  I have heard that Bushy match triggers are nice.

Yeah, I was noticing that also.  I'm somewhat familiar with it, but from what I've seen so far it's half the price of the others.  That tends to sway my opinion on alot of things, as long as the quality is there.

I heard gun shop at the "Y" ("Mountain" something) has a top notch gunsmith/armorer that has a lot of black gun experience.

I know the place, it's called mountain shadow arms.  The guy knows his stuff, he's an ex military sharpshooter I believe.  I'm told he builds a lot of custom competition rifles.  But I've also been told that he's not cheap. And at the same time, generally you get what you pay for I guess.  My friend took a gun to him to have a stripped out scope hole tapped out and it took him a couple of weeks before he even got it back though.  So I don't know?   :dunno:

I figure when I get around to buying it I'll be sure to take a look at the gun before taking it apart and make sure it's something I'm comfortable doing myself, before I do something dumb, like tearing apart my gun and rendering it inoperable.  But since the trigger from bushmaster is so much cheaper, I figure if I can't do it myself I can take it in and have someone that's competent do it and still be a cheap upgrade.
