I am in the process of building a second AR-15.

My other AR is a DCM-match style and has a nice 2-stage trigger. I know that the only way to get my new gun that good would be another expensive 2-stage trigger - but funds do not permit this at this time. If it is possible for the "shade tree armorer" to make some improvement to the standard AR trigger I'd like to know how to do that.

I have heard folks speak of the "15 minute AR trigger job" and polishing trigger parts to improve these.

Can anyone link to photos, videos, or other instructions on how to do this?

PS - I am aware of the potential problem of "bubba-ing" off the hardened surface and causing the remaining soft steel parts to fail. Obviously I would like to avoid this outcome
