I got a CMC single stage trigger for $162 from Sportsman's Guide. I've installed it but haven't taken the rifle to the range yet. I definitely like the way it feels at ~3.5 lbs, and it's almost $100 less than the Geisseles, but it's not adjustable.
They do make it awfully easy to like them!Some of the new drop in caged trigger packs are very nice. I also have a CMC and am very happy with it.
Once you delve into the aftermarket triggers, it's a money pit. You won't want mil-spec (or ALG/JP spring) triggers anymore.
I have the new Binary Trigger from Franklin Armory. It is awesome, it is the closest to full auto you find and it is legal.
It fires on the back and front stroke of the trigger.
You Tube it you will see it. It makes you gun run fast.
They are about $400.
Are any of the triggers mentioned above better then just a timney drop in trigger or are those not considered to be good? I was looking at one of them but my buddy says i need to get a rock river 2 stage trigger.
I did the exact thing. Plenty good for a SHTF/fun-gun. I'm not shooting high-level HP competition, 3-gun matches for a living, or anything where I need to spend pounds of cash to try and squeeze out an extra ounce of performance.I have an ALG Defense ACT trigger in my AR. It is basically a milspec trigger that has all the contact points polished. I also added JP enhanced reliability, reduced power springs. I went from a gritty 8lbs trigger pull to a smooth 4.5-5lbs pull. I didn't want to invest in a $300 trigger so for $75, I was pleased with the results.
I've heard of those, but dang that just seems like an accident waiting to happen.
