It is a newer pirate lower and maybe its why (needs to wear in ) but feels too gritty/draggy to me is this normal ?
Is there any thing I can try ? Is it adjustable ?

No adjustments can be made on those mil-spec triggers.......is it the enhanced or standard LPK?

I am new to AR`s I do not know - how do I tell ?

Is the hammer and trigger a silver color or black? If it's silver and you have the rubberized Ergo pistol grip, it's the enhanced

The stock plastic pistol grip means a standard LPK

There are some other upgrades to the enhanced kit but since you said you were new, I just gave the most basic ones......

it is the standard

The standard generally does feel a bit gritty, especially if you are used to a very crisp trigger (bolt rifles, etc); it'll smooth out once you get a few hundred rounds downrange.

Yes sir you hit that right on the head I am used to triggers on bolt rifles

This is my 1st AR rifle -I really like the feel and fact It weighs much less

Guess I`ll buy some snap caps and wear them out trying to get it to wear in / smooth out some --any dry fire issues ? is it ok to dry fire ? I think I read somewhere it was ok rather ask than have to fix it
cant get to range much as the one here near Ocala is a 45 min drive and up to 2 hr wait for a bench to open up

I also saw some replacement triggers that are 3-4 lbs may look into 1 of them - any issues with too light of a trigger in an AR ?

You could send your trigger group to Bill Springfield and he can work it to the tension and feel you want.

My first rifle is a short action rem 700, using the old trigger; personally, I wouldn't want my AR trigger to be that light, it's a different tool for a different job for me. If I want longer range accuracy, I'm going to get out the LTR; if I want reasonable accuracy and a lot of rounds downrange, that's when I'm going to pick up my ST Middy. However, if you are looking at this rifle for competition, then adjusting the weight of the trigger may be for you. If you aren't after 1/2 moa, I'd play with what you have, at least for a couple hundred rounds, to see if it feels right or not. Just my .02

thanks guys 4 the advice

Just from my experience, both my Spike's lowers had a tiny amount of drag at first (not what I would call "gritty" though, may not be comparable to your experience), and both smoothed right out after only 100 rounds or so. I could have probably dry-fired it for a while and done the same thing. I worked for a fairly well-known gunsmith years ago, and one of the first lessons he taught me, was that dry-firing a new revolver 200-300 times would do almost as much good as a $50.00 action job. It was very very seldom that he would ever take a stone to a hammer/sear and then only in complete moderation, most work was done on a big buffer wheel with a couple different grades of compound.

all you can do is either fire the weapon repeatedly or buy a better trigger. the surfaces are heat treated so NEVER EVER stone or even flitz an ar trigger or hammer.
