Yeah, personally, I wouldn't change a trigger on one even if I could. If it came to that, I'd go with a dedicated .22 upper and use it with a lower that already has the trigger I want in it. That said here's a thread with some proven aftermarket triggers, maybe it can help the guy:

I think I'm going to go with a Magpul edition M&P 15-22 and have a gunsmith re-profile the barrel to pencil spec. (I want a super light gun for my daughter to run in club matches.)

This ammo shortage is fucking ridiculous. It's just like gas prices. Now that companies know people will pay these prices, why bring them down?

Over 300 fucking dollars for 1k of .223. Give me a break.

Cant fucking wait until my 5.45x39 upper ships out. I'll shoot that dirty crap ammo all day every day.

That'd only save him a couple of cents per round... I figured bulk would save much more...
