I really don't believe that lock time is as big an issue as many people think. An M98 Mauser will have a faster lock time than an AR-15. Heck, even with the Geisselle SSA trigger I have in my service rifle it only comes down to where a Mauser starts.

Doesn't mean my AR doesn't shoot very tight.

Accuracy comes from repeatability. Timing is a very small part of it, and easily overpowered by variabilities in ammunition.
