I'm finally at the point where I'm ready to replace my stock, mil-spec trigger in my rifle.Since it's been in there a couple years now I've had plenty of time to observe the ever changing opinion of others on here. A year ago Geisselle SSA was the standard go-to aftermarket trigger around here but it seems lately, especially after cruising the EE, that people are switching to other brands.
I'm asking for advice here also. I want reliability with a good break for accuracy. 2 stage is not a deal breaker for me but I'm not crazy about flat-bow triggers. Thanks.

I got a Larue MBT and really like the wide trigger bow and it was pretty easy to install (you will have to remove your selector though) since it has a captured disconnector.
I have only ever dry fired a Geisselle but it was nice as well. |

SSA-E /thread I put an SSA-E in my Recce/SPR hybrid. It made me re-think putting one in my 11.5" HD or 16" general purpose ARs. They'll be getting regular SSAs. Personal preference being what it is, of course. Either one is nicer than a USGI trigger. |

Can't go wrong with a SSA.
If you don't like the price, check out some of the ALG offerings for a cheaper alternative that's better than a run of the mill mil-spec trigger. |

Current triggers in AR's I've got: G SSA-E and 3G AR Gold Wilson 3G If somebody asked me if the above are good, I'd say yes w/o a doubt. Next time I need to buy one, it'll probably be a Larue MBT2S just to try another flavor. |

As a disclaimer, I have no personal experience with wolf springs, but lowering you hammer power is not conducive to reliability. Hard primers may or may not ignite. If this will be a fun-gun, go for it, but I would never put reduced-weight springs in something I would bet my life on. The SSA's and SSA-E both have an awesome pull with full-power springs. |

I have a bunch of geissele triggers, and think the SSA is a great all around trigger, and the SSA-E and SD-E are both great precision triggers but are on the light side which I may not prefer in a stressful situation.

Quote HistoryQuoted: SSA-E /thread  SSA /thread ETA: I personally like a more noticeable second stage. The SSA is still light enough that you don't feel the second stage when trying to shoot rapidly at short range, but has a more distinct feeling second stage when shooting slowly that I really like. |

My second AR was a RRA with the 2 stage trigger. Used it in my new AR pistol build.
Love this trigger, just purchased 2 more for future builds, they are on sale now for $62 each. For my AR10 build I installed a Larue MBT, well woth the $$$ it cost. |

Yep, you cant go wrong with the well proven, time tested Geissele. Even the G2S is a great choice.
I have 2 Ruger 2 stage triggers and do NOT recommend them. I bought them at the same time from two different places. One had a mile of creep so I put that one in my 20year old A2, to get it to fire I had to file down the pad below the safety otherwise it wouldn't pull far enough to release the hammer. The other had almost zero creep but the first stage was so gritty it felt like a 3 stage, I kept mistaking the grit for the first stage take up, after an hour with a stone it feels great but I could have just spent an extra $25 and bought Geissele G2Ss and dropped them in. |
