Been looking for AR trigger

[Notalentbum]

I've been looking for a decent low budget trigger for my AR budget build. Been looking at the Geissele G2S. It looks to have decent reputation. Also have seen Slidefire's SSAR trigger group but no reviews found on it.
I had USDS do a trigger job on my Stag and it is way better than stock but wanted to see what other options are out there. I walked through the 1500 yesterday but did not notice anyone selling triggers. I'm sure they were there, I just didn't see them.
Anything else I should be looking at? Want to stay south of $150, the more the better.

I am really new to ARs, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.. I love my Spike's Battle Trigger. Crisp, smooth, and affordable at around $60.

Is it a Geissele? No. But that extra $100 could go towards other parts

I own a CMC trigger. USA made out of metal in the glorious state of Texas designed by Chip McCormick. Check them out. If you want a super clean breaking single-stage with ultra-low reset, then they are phenomenal. They are also very reasonable.

I've been very happy with my POF drop in triggers, might find one on sale somewhere for $150

The G2S is a good trigger too.

ALG trigger is fairly nice too for what it is.

Ruger has a new 2 stage AR trigger but for some reason it gives me bad vibes

 

[USMC-Johnson]

Cmc is where I'd look. Phenomenal triggers especially for the money

 

[blkrifle]

no first hand experience but you might look at Hyperfire

 

[Tanfodude]

Cant go wrong with S3G Geissele.

 

[EvilKidsMeal]

Interested in this as well for my current build. Don't think I can justify a Geissele right now.

How much of an improvement is the Spikes Battle Trigger over a mil-spec one?

 

[mammynun]

I don't think you'll find a Geissele for south of $150, but you might look at one of these.

Rock River two stage with a Wolff extra power hammer spring at just over 100 bucks cannot be beat. 4 1/2 pound pull easily adjusted to 3 1/2 pound and a fast lock time that can't be beat by the Geiselle trigger.

There is nothing magical about the Geiselle.

I've shot a couple RR 2 stage triggers and owned one myself, never was impressed with them. They're probably worth their price point but I wasn't on a budget for the past few builds so I figured I'd opt for something better.

The ALG/Spike's triggers are only marginally better than a PSA lpk trigger. The best mil-spec trigger I've had experience with is a CMMG. They feel like they have 1000 rounds on them right out of the package.

Shoot a Geissele and you'll wish you had one. I have four Geissele triggers and one POF. Don't be overwhelmed by their 11 trigger lineup. They each serve a specific purpose.

Both of the rock river 2 stage triggers I've played with have required stoning and spring tuning before they felt good. For 100$ you can't go wrong with them. That being said, I prefer my geissele dmr

Brownells has there own model of geissele. Its the g2s-e, its a budget version of the ssa-e

 

[mikefraz]

Having owned two geissele triggers, I can honestly say I like my Rock River 2-stage trigger more. Maybe I just got a good one from Rock River though.

I've got a Spike's battle on my HD AR, an RR two-stage on my Armalite AR10 in 308, a CMC on my 6.5 Grendel, and an American Gold for my tack-driving varmint AR. Each one is perfect for its application.

There's no doubt that for max reliability and safety, the Spike's battle takes the cake. For pure joy and mosquito-ass busting accuracy, the American Gold. On one end, 50 bucks, on the other end 300.

I share your experience. I shoot NRA Highpower which has mandatory trigger weights. For service rifle it is 4 1/2 pounds. I have 4 of them in 4 different rifles. 3 are perfect at 4 1/2 pounds right from RRA. One was 5 pounds out of the package. It is easily fixed. I use it in a NRA match rifle that I set at 3 1/2 pounds. I have never had to stone any surfaces. It is a simple spring adjustment.

The most important thing that the RRA trigger can give you over the Geissele trigger is reduced lock time. You can really tell, just by dry firing the RRA with a Wolff extra power hammer spring over any model of Geissele. The hammer falls much faster. You can hear it. Without doubt.

Lock time is far more important than pull weight. IMO

And the debate continues. We are all right with our opinions..

The bone stock trigger in my del-ton is surprisingly nice. But I also have a cmmg 2stage in another gun. I really like it. Nice crisp break. Smooth etc. Typical up talk of a trigger you like.

 

[jd4320t]

No offense to anyone but I say either go with your tuned bone stock trigger or spend a little more than $150. I had a Spikes enhanced and it felt the exact same as my RRA. I didn't see any value in the extra cost. I like my Geissele SSA's a lot.

 

[rvb]

anyone ever try an extra power hammer spring on a geissele?

I like my RRA 2 stage, it did not require any stoning.
