Description
We all know that the Fostech Echo trigger is already an awesome trigger, but would you like a lighter trigger pull?. To do just that, TriggerDepot has developed a Trigger upgrade that greatly improves the trigger pull. There are several other ways to improve the trigger such as adding a bushing, milling the bolt carrier, and polishing several parts, but the improvements are unreliable and negligible at best. This trigger upgrade is by far the most effective, consistent modification to improve the trigger. This upgrade works in both the first and second generation Echo, BUT NOT THE ECHO SPORT.
We are finding the new trigger pull weight to be as follows with our upgrade:
- 2 lb semi
- 4 lb echo initial (first round)
- 5 lb echo reset (to release 2nd round)

Springs came in 24 hours after ordering, installed in trigger pack without issue. Used a phillips head screwdriver to align everything. HUGE improvement in trigger pull. Great seller!

Reduced trigger pull to a comfortable level and operates good. Took about 20 minutes to install. Definitely worth it!

Just installed this new spring and it makes a huge difference. A must have for the Echo trigger! It gives a nice clean (LITE) break.Just inst

I have the first gen Echo trigger and it dramatically reduced the trigger pull weight in half! One thing that is to be noted is that, due to the reduced weight of the trigger, it takes additional “training” to perform smooth mag dumps (in Echo) without any pauses in between. The ease of pulling & releasing the trigger faster than the cyclic rate of your rifle is even exaggerated with the new spring. Other than that, the spring has performed flawlessly in safe, semi, and echo. Only time will tell if the spring will hold up. I’ll do a follow up review again.

Cut the trigger pull in half across the board and on semi it made it crisper. Improved my groups on single and double taps.

Trigger spring definitely reduces triiger pull weight and smooths out the triiger pull. I don’t have a spring scale to check, but it feels a lot smoother and lighter.

Night & Day difference in trigger pull. Makes you wonder what Fostech was thinking sending their trigger out with such a heavy spring. If you’re not sure, Pull The Trigger on this mod!

A wet sponge has a better pull than the stock echo, but this simple $10 upgrade turns a s*** trigger into something nearly as good as my Geissele SD3G.
Seriously, grab your wallet and get this f***ing spring. I own many triggers and if you own an echo, you’d be stupid not to buy this.

Not much of a trigger snob as I usually run GI’s. However when I dropped this in I can see why people will pay big money for a good trigger. The semi setting is almost scary light and also improves echo mode. You can really get this thing going fast. My only complaint is now I need to get a .22 kit because I want to burn too much ammo.

Best purchase you could possibly make for your new echo trigger. Amazing what these people have created!

If you don’t order this spring when you order the Fostec trigger you are cheating yourself out of the real deal. It’s amazing what one minor change can do for your AR.

Measured with Wheeler Manual Trigger Pull Scale. With factory spring. Semi ~5-5.5. First pull echo I forgot but it was about 6.5ish. Release shot 7.75-8.
With new spring. Semi 3. First pull echo 4.75. Release shot 5.25. I consider it worth it.
