AR trigger questions

[mprice]

My AR is a Rock River varmint upper on a EA lower.

I was o.k. with my stock trigger with JP spirngs until I shot a fellows Timney trigger so now I've got the bug to buy a new trigger.... I use the rifle for fun at the range as well as for coyote shooting, too.

Questions:

What is a good choice for replacement of a stock trigger? What other replacement triggers would you recommend?

I really like the Timney (I'll probably go with the skeletonized version). But, is it a good choice? I really like the idea of a "drop in" replacement for someone as inept as myself.

What I'm looking for is a good balance between cost (less than $300?) and optimum function at the range and in the field.

Thanks for advice,
Marc Price

Another Geissele +1. The SSA is a great all-around 2-stage, though they offer other models as well that are a little lighter pull and may be better suites for a coyote/hunting rifle.

For a budget minded shooter, the best drop in match 2 stage trigger group for the price is the ROck River, you can find them for about $120.00.

I was shocked at how good and inexpensive this trigger is, look at it or try one at a shop before shelling out the extra monies.

For a gun you're not trusting your life to, the RRA 2-stage is a good choice. Even better if you send it to White Oak for their tuning, although for what you spend on trigger and tuning you could just buy a Geissele.

Cant go wrong with a Geissele, and agreed, the price on the SSA is so good compared to any other trigger in terms of quality received.

I like the Chip McCormick Trigger Pack.

Me, too. I've got 2.



To the OP, before you drop the coin on a new trigger, do you have a set screw through the grip bolt hole?

You asking me?

No, my question was for the OP. Sorry for the confusion.

Not sure what you mean (sorry, I'm a novice)??

JP trigger and Speed hammer. If you buy as a set, it comes with a DVD to instruct installation. A couple basic tools are all that is needed. It does take a little time though, but you will learn a lot about the function of the AR trigger. BTW....I have 3

I do have JP yellow springs in it now - and, they are nice. The lower came with them.
