AR Trigger choices...

[DarkRose]

So I'm doing an "updated" A2 build, will be using an A2 National Match free-float handguard, KNS anti-roll pins, MOE+ or Ergo grip, so for the most part, it'll look like an A2 on the outside...

Looking at LPKs, trying to decide on a trigger... This is a gift, so going on my best guess: Single stage, but decent enough for light bench work.

All around plinker/target shooter/coyote gun... Also looking to keep the cost down, gut my dealer discount with Midway and Brownells set up, but still not made of money, lol. (So Giesele and Timney are probably out)

Thanks!

Standard trigger + JP yellow spring kit.

Or a Spikes Battle Trigger if you want a bit of bling.

 

[DarkRose]

Both of those look like decent choices.

The bling wouldn't be bad, especially since it's silver and not gold, that wouldn't sit well, lol.

Is the Spikes Battle good to go without needing the JP reduced power springs (yellow)?

The Battle Trigger kit can be used alone (pull is smoother but probably no lighter than standard) or with the JP springs.

What about Timney?

Or AR-Gold?

Or Jewell?


I've been using Timney but just picked up an AR-Gold. Probably will be installing the AR-Gold today. My initial impression of it is that it is unlike any other AR trigger system.

Im looking at the Battle trigger, looks to be a fair upgrade over the stock piece

I've been considering the AR gold trigger, let me know how it is, for that money I would rather have someone else be the guinea pig.

If you are looking for a sweet single stage set up with very little invested, then I recommend looking at this thread on arfcom

Trigger work? - AR15.COM

I did this recently and was AMAZED at the results. The JP springs are very inexpensive and the mods are very simple to do yourself. The result was a trigger with no creep and very crisp. It re-sets like a dream too. It worked outstanding on the rifle that I did it to.

A good after market 2 stage trigger is the RRA trigger group. I bought one for a coyote AR that I am building after handling a couple guns with this trigger installed at an area shop.

I also recommend the spikes for a quality single stage. I typically use thr rra 2 stage match trigger in my long range/varmint set up.

I also like the RRA 2-stage match set. Feels very nice to me. Also in a long range setup.

Just installed it today. Here is the thread with the installation pictures:

I will say that in dry fire it is awesome. Seems lighter than the Timney. Its amazingly crisp.

I have 3.

Mil Spec Daniel Defense in the HD carbine.
Geissele Hi Speed Service in the Service Rifle.
Geissele Super Dynamic 3-Gun in the 3 Gun rifle.


Of the three, if I had to choose just one, it would be the Hi-Speed Service.

I also like the RRA 2 stage national match.

 

[yotewacker]

i have a few of the AR gold 2 stage. Would not have any other.

Well I've not actually shot mine, but in dry fire practice I'm loving it. If it dries out a bit, I'll be shooting. Its amazingly different/better than any of the traditional mil-type triggers. The same can be said about the Timney, but the more I play with the AR-Gold the more I think its about 2x-times better than the Timney.

I've heard nothing but good things about the RRA stage 2, and the Spikes tactical enhanced trigger kit.

I've heard nothing but good things about the RRA stage 2, and the Spikes tactical enhanced trigger kit.

But as good as the RRA 2 stage National Match trigger is, it pales by comparison to the Timney that I use and I have a feeling in real practice the Timney will pale compared to the Pact/AR-Gold trigger.

I have no personal experience with the Spikes. But I've got plenty with RRA 2 Stage and the much superior Timney.

 

[JollyGreen]

I'm not up to date on those triggers, but didn't that company go under new ownership? Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard quality control went down as well. I've had no experience with that trigger so I can't say one way or another.

When giving the gift of AR, make sure you give the very best...
