Basically geissele was trying to make a pro tier trigger that was still reliable, and his uppers in the military liked them so much that they put him on the track to starting a company and getting a contract. The big thing was getting a trigger that nice without putting a weak hammer spring in and causing light strikes

I'm just not even thinking about what I'm putting into this rifle. I'm sure it'd be stupid if I listed out every part but I'm buying one at a time

The barrel I'm using isn't some sub moa monster. It's a well balanced, very tight tolerance, very tough chf barrel. Still pretty accurate for chf
