Anyone with experience with Armalite Tactical 2 Stage trigger?

[COREY]

I picked up an Armalite LPK with a Tactical 2 stage trigger. From what I read, the lightest setting should be around 5 lbs. From what I figured from the diagrams, I moved the spring to the highest (closest to top of action) setting, which I thought should give me the lightest pull. I am getting almost 7 lbs out of it.

If you have experience with these triggers, did I set the spring in the wrong notch, does it need to be broken in, or is the trigger pull claim BS?

I bought and installed one in my AR180B over 10 years ago and it works great in comparison to the stock trigger.I,m not sure if my was adjustable at least like yours and I will have to see if I can find the instructions that came in the little tin it came in.Thanks--Dieseldog!

You set it correctly. To get a lower trigger pull weight, you will need to bend the springs a little bit. Armalite calls this tuning.
Armalite has a tech note on it,, see para 4 at this link.

Thanks Shelldrake, I think this is just what I need. I also need to dry/live fire it to break it in first before I go tuning it from what I am reading.
