AR15 Drop-in Trigger Kit

[Pilgrim]

Anyone have any experience with the drop-in trigger kits for AR15s. I picked up a Noveske Chainsaw lower a few weeks ago and I'm starting to put together a list of components I'd like to get. Eventually I plan on mting the lower to a LaRue 12" Stealth Upper.

I've seen reviews on the CMC (Chip McCormick) and Timney triggers. How do the two compare and are there others you'd recommend? Please keep comments to the drop-in variety... I just like the idea of a self contained trigger group.

I'm relatively new to building ARs so excuse my noob-ness...

Buy a giselle. Its basically "drop in" . I like the ssa-e but heard they have some nice new triggers for the budget minded.

I've owned them all and I am very much a fan of CMC triggers. In my mind they have no equal.

They're also made in Texas which is a major plus in my book.

I have CMC triggers and really like them. Good customer service if you need it.

Jards are not drop in, but are a good trigger also..........well if you have the patience to deal with the installation.

(BTW, you assemble ARs, doubtful you are actually building one. )

+1 very good trigger, the last 3 i replaced were with these. Very nice pull and clean break. Not cheap though.

Run 3 Giselle 3G triggers in my ARs and a couple of JP but those Arnt drop in

 

[Pilgrim]

Looks like the CMC and Giselle are *relatively* close in price so that bears looking into. TXARGUY, why do you like the CMC trigger kit over all others? I assume you've had a chance to use a Giselle so what makes the CMC better? The reason I ask is because the straight trigger option is interesting to me...

I'm a fan of Timney. Never tried Geiselle or any others, save the chrome looking battle trigger from spikes which was not too impressive. I like single stage and a 3.5# pull. Timney gives me that. What ever else I could get for $300 is something I don't need. Hell $200 is real hard for me to spend on a trigger. But worth it. Just picked up two more.

I put a Timney in my 3 Gun rifle. I like it. YMMV.

 

[NorthTXMike]

Im a big fan of Timney. Triggers are all a matter of personal preference, so if you know anyone who has the triggers you're looking at installed and can let you try them, that would probably be your best bet.

For $10 these can't be beat

^ This. None of the worries of an adjustable trigger, all of the durability of a good quality GI trigger, with an excellent pull that no one can really complain about.

 

[Big Phil]

FYI, the ALG fire control group I posted is made by Geiselle.

 

[Pilgrim]

I've read great reviews on the Gieselle triggers - seems like the way to go...

I just ordered the 2 stage RRA national match and JP power springs off Joe bobs Wednesday and its waiting on my doorstep now when I get off work. I'm excited to install it and test it out. 125 is about what I spent

Installed the AR Gold drop in set in both my AR15 and AR10.

I don;t have a lot of trigger time with different trigger sets. But these guys are amazing.

See if you can find a place that has a number of triggers mounted that you can actually try. For instance, in the Houston area Texas Tactical has several fixtures duplicating AR lowers that have different triggers in them for you to test for feel. Primary Arms usually has several of the guys complete guns on hand with nice triggers in them too. Places like these may exist close to you. I had tried a number of different triggers that I didn't already own on various guns elsewhere (mostly friends and family's guns and at local 3 gun matches) but hitting these two places allowed me to try two more that I had been considering. Im glad for this opportunity because I ended up buying a Geissele SD3G even though I had convinced myself that I would not like the flat trigger bow and also that I wanted buck the trend a little and buy something other than another Geissele.

Geissele SSA.

On an AR the drop ins aren't really any easier to work with or more durable than regular triggers. It takes maybe a couple minutes to switch out a regular trigger. Geissele's include slave pins in their packaging to make it even easier.

 

[Pilgrim]

Does anyone have any experience with the G2S (Giessele 2-stage)? I'm thinking about setting up a DMR with one of the Larue uppers and love two-stage triggers. I've been spoiled by the KIDD 10/22 triggers and would really enjoy something as light and crisp in the AR platform.

 

[M. Sage]

The answer depends a lot on you and how you're going to use the rifle. For a run and gun rifle, single stage is generally going to be better, for longer-range slow fire accuracy, look for a two stage trigger.

^ This. None of the worries of an adjustable trigger, all of the durability of a good quality GI trigger, with an excellent pull that no one can really complain about.

I'll pass because Geiselle only makes two stage triggers. Not really complaining, it's just that for accuracy at speed, a single stage can't really be beat, especially when you're transitioning from target to target.
