Mr. Peregrino:
I don't have any experience with Tubbs spring kits for ARs or speed locks for bolt rifles so can't comment.
Would think under five pounds on a rifle intended for combat is pushing things though. Not that I would deliberately make it heavier. Just would be a bit more aware of things? I normally stick with five pounds on the gas guns. However I am particular about having two very distinct stages and a very crisp second state let off.
I really don't hold MILSPEC triggers or springs in high regard. We had some problems with them last week. I think they were poorly made once again. Monstrous trigger pulls on M-16's. A few must have been fifteen pounds. First time I have seen dirt in the trigger housing cause light primer strikes due to too soft a hammer fall. Well, MILSPEC needs to be cleaned and maintained as well as anything else but fifteen or sixteen pound pulls are unacceptable IMHO.
