Triggers

[Hoot]

Not to pile on, but for ease of implementation, consistent and predictable feel and one that doesn't bankrupt you, I also like the RRA NM. Hard to beat that price from Joe Bob and free shipping to boot.

This forum is GREAT thanks guys.

Seems that RRA is the prefured trigger so I will try it.

Thanks again

Well now that someone has brought up the issue of triggers, I feel almost obligated to upgrade my Bushmaster OEM trigger on my XM15 lower, even though it has virtually no creep, resets crisply, but does take a lot to pull - I am estimating between 7 and 9 pounds.

Not being very mechanically inclined, I am looking at the Timney .154" with the skeletonized trigger (because it looks cool, that's why) that is a drop-in replacement. However, three questions have come up:

The Timney is a single stage (as is my current trigger) and the RRA is a double stage trigger. What is the difference and why should I prefer one over the other?

The Timney comes in both 3 and 4 pound pull versions. Anyone have a preference? I am inclined to go with the 3# version, but I have read elsewhere that may be too light for general use (target shooting, hunting) and that it is more suitable for match competition.

Joe Bob Outfitters (see link in earlier post) indicates that the RRA comes without springs (although the photo shows springs and pins). Does anyone know if it really does include springs? If not, should I order the JP Enterprises springs?

Any input would be most appreciated.

Im not sure, but you can always use the factory springs or you can order the JP Reduced springs (yellow) for around $10.00 at Brownells. As for pins, I am slowly converting my ARs to the non rotating type.

Yikes! 400 grit!? I admit my DPMS trigger was sloppy, but wow! I used some extremely fine stones on mine. It worked great.
