I definitely like the idea of the hornet trigger price but I saw several dissatisfied customers. I wasn't planning on buying a whole new assembly but rather an installable kit with the hammer, sear, springs, auto bolt release, etc. There are lots of videos online on how to do it and it looks fairly simple. Would you recommend against this? A Kidd trigger kit is cheaper than the hornet trigger assembly. It's only about 100 bucks. Just a VQ target hammer is about $36 and is supposed to bring the pull down to about 3 lbs.
Another option would be getting just the hammer and some shims and then blowing the savings on a TacSol barrel. I just wish I knew how much more accuracy I can expect with each setup.

Yeah thats the hard part, what gives the best bang for the buck? Hell if I know.

I didnt realize that you were planning on doing just a replacement parts kit, not a whole new assembly. I did a full assembly because my donor gun was 42 years old. I have indeed heard mixed reviews on the Hornet trigger but I have no idea why.

If you want the KIDD trigger kit, I recommend it. I have no handled their triggers but the quality of their other work has me sold. If you can do that and swing a TacSol barre, DO IT. If not, get the GM barrel. I mean its not a bad barrel either.

This is the stock I settled on. Going with an 18" SS fluted barrel.
