Agreed. All other trigge kits for AR's are for the doofus crowd as they are junk. Go "G" or say in bed where you belong.

How do you use or plan to use your AR so that a trig job is needed?

[dkmatthews]

knkali -- it isn't that I feel a trigger JOB is necessary, per se.

I only have one brand-name, built by the manufacturer, AR. The Geissele trigger is what I bought to put in a new one that I'm assembling. This is why I enjoy the whole lego-AR thing. It allows me to put the money into the parts based on my priorities -- not the priorities of the manufacturer. I save some money on some parts that aren't critical to me so I can put that saved money into having nicer parts (Geissele triggers) where it IS critical to me. My assembled rifle will end up with a final cost almost exactly what I paid for a very nice manufacturer's AR, maybe a little more, so it isn't about saving money. It's about not having to buy a manufactured rifle and then spend extra money to make it the way I want it later.

The reason why I asked is that in my experience, I grew to like the "combat trig" I have in my AR. Its a brick but I found that when I run drills in CQC situations, it is nice to have that brick. I have run "better" trigs and I get errant shots because the trig is too smooth and easy. So my trig is bad for distance work but I sure appreciate it when running around rapidly acquiring targets.

[dkmatthews]

knkali -- that makes sense, I suppose. My first AR and the one I have trained with is a Rock River Elite Operator. The trigger isn't necessarily smooth, but it isn't a brick either.

When assembling my own, I go with Geissele because it's better than a RRA trigger in smoothness and it's worth it to me not to yank my shots all over the place. Also, if I just buy some generic lower parts kit with a $2 trigger/sear for each of my assembled rifles, there's no telling how consistent those triggers will feel from one rifle to the other. I want them to all feel the same to the operator so it won't matter to the person which AR he/she picks up.

roger that

I haven't tried a Geissele trigger, but have had 2 Rock River national match triggers installed and really like them.

melissa5 -- give me a holler the next time you drive north on I-85 into NC and I will let you try out the Geissele triggers. You might like 'em.

That' my girl your propositioning there DK. Geez, I turn my back for 1 second and everyone's wanting to show her their triggers. Ever vigilant, that's what I are.
I'm gonna demand a chaperone.

[dkmatthews]

What's wrong with a little trigger finger exercise?

:p
