Can anyone tell me if changing springs on trigger and hammer will improve the pull on my ar15?

Google is your friend, young grasshopper. Also, use the search function. You'll get a lot of info. These questions won't add up to your 50 posts if that's what you're after.

Let me google that for you

I have used the JP spring set in a few ARs. This set includes a hammer spring, trigger spring, and disconnector spring. With this spring set and some good trigger lube you will improve your trigger pull weight. The creep and over travel will still be an issue. Remember that the mil-spec fire control group is only case hardened and should not be filed or stoned. Judicious polishing is acceptable.

Been hearing too many horror stories within the past year about his work.

I would suggest shooting what you have more, or dry firing it a lot. The pull with smooth out.

I'm no gunsmith but, I had a trigger job done on my AR and it is MUCH improved. Had nothing to do with springs and everything to do with the trigger / sear geometry. Someone else posted about the parts being only case hardened (and a very shallow case at that). My 'smith cut some of the metal away from the critical areas and welded on tool steel that would hold the edge. Fantastic job.

First of all, welcome to INGO.

I'm not a fan of a stock trigger in INGO.
-The cheapest smooth trigger in my opinion is the Spikes Battle Trigger. It's nickel boron coated, and very slick. Add a nickel boron coated BCG, and it's smooth as butter.
-If you want a light trigger, and am on a budget I would suggest a Rock River Arms National Match 2 stage. The first stage is a little bit of trigger creep, and a couple of pound pull once you find it.
-If you want target quality though, you'll be hard pressed to beat the Timney 3#'er. I just got finished installing one, and it's simply amazing.

IMHO, you can't go wrong with Timney. They are a little pricey, though. If you are on a budget they may not be for you. But they are so easy to install, and make your AR so enjoyable to shoot (I giggled like a schoolgirl the first time I used mine).

You didn't mention what your intentions were. If you are going to run-and-gun, go with something with a stronger trigger pull. Precision shooting then go lower. Here's the link anyway: Timney Triggers. Good luck.
