AR Trigger Thread

Recommended Posts

Looking for a trigger recommendation for my latest AR build. Its a 24" hewvy barrel RRA Upper in 223 wylde. More of a benchrest,precision gun versus a traditional AR. Figure this could be informative for others as well. Lots to choose from:

Geissele.

RRA match.

Timney.

AR Gold.

Whatever else

In my experience, if Geissele is an option, it's the answer.

 

I have an SDE in my precision AR. It is outstanding.

 

ETA: The rest of my carbines have SSA triggers. I am trying to get permission to instal the select fire version in my issued work carbine, but it is a no go right now.

 

I am also looking at getting a ALG ACT, but I don't think that will suit your stated purpose.

I'll give another recommendation for the Geissele.  I've got a SSA-e in a recent build, and all I can say is "Wow!"  Well worth the money.

 

A fellow that I work with has a Timney in his Stag and says it really improved his groups compared to the stock trigger group.  I have a Timney in a Mauser and it is fantastic.  You probably can't go wrong with that choice either. 

 

I would like to try a Hiperfire trigger at some point, they look quite interesting, and most of the reviews seem very positive.

bench rest precision gun you go with a light single stage.  On my precision bench rest, I use a jp tuned to 2.25lbs so I just basically touch the trigger and she's off.  Absolutely forget the 2 stage triggers for a BENCH REST PRECISION RIFLE

My precision AR is just light of 2# and my long range 243 is 1.5#.  As long as it don't slam fire and you remember to keep the muzzle down range

you can't be too  light on a precision or BR rifle.

i have the ALG ACT (single stage) on one of my ar's and it's crisp and clean - for $65 i don't think you can go wrong.  i picked up the Geissele G2S for my latest build, and i like it a lot.  two stage, first stage pull is light and linear with a clean break and reset.  it's the "cheap" version of the SSA and cost me around $165 i think.

I agree with you here but I keep mine just north of 2# as I have gotten used to that.  I have certainly shot some where you basically blow on it and it goes off...lol

Don't blow on it with your finger in the trigger guard.  :gaming:

When I have my sight picture and I move my fingertip inside the trigger guard...It's Game time!

Right now I am leaning towards the 24c from hiperfire

I would recommend the 24E over the 24C for a bench gun. The E has a little take-up (not creep) and a slightly longer reset than the C. I've tried both and personally, I prefer the E over the C for that purpose. It's also a little cheaper. The only thing that might push you to get the C over the E is if you want a flat face trigger or if the adjustable polymer shoe is important to you. I have found that the shoe is much more beneficial for fast shooting like 3 Gun competitions.

Light triggers on semi-auto's is asking for surprise bumpfire on the bench whenever you forget to really bury it in your shoulder. I never thought of this with sub 1lb triggers on my bolt gun, there are big lumps of metal bouncing around the inside of your AR feeding new rounds and that is a game changer.

Yep, a big part of why I like the 24E's longer reset relative to the 24C. I have accidentally bumpfired both a Hiperfire 24C and a Geissele S3G while zeroing off a bench because of what you mentioned.
