What I would like to do is introduce a little "creep" into the beginning of the second stage, so I can actually bring the sear contact right to the edge, for a better prediction of when the sear will break.
If you place your trigger finger at the very tip of the trigger (as low as you can place it) and squeeze slowly, you can actually feel a bit of creep before the hammer falls. (at least on mine anyway)
But that is very difficult and inconsistent to feel with your finger placed in the middle of the trigger curve.
I like that "take-up" feel, and was able to adjust my excellent Jewell trigger in such a way that I could feel a tiny bit of 2nd stage creep before "let-off". (had to, the damn thing doubled a few times due to trigger bump)
I also had set the Jewell trigger "first stage" pull to a lighter setting than the Geissele.
Unfortunately the tip of the trigger digging into my index finger on the Geissele gets irritating after a while.
I sent an e-mail to Geissele and they told me that the trigger spring on the SSA-E was the lightest they made.
Had to swap out the Jewell for the Geissele because the lighter hammer spring on the Jewell would not work with my CMMG .22LR upper, and is a rather proprietary looking piece.
Anyone tried a lighter JP type trigger spring on their Geissele SSA-E?
Not even sure how it would work out, but I would like to try it and I really don't think bending the factory Geissele trigger spring is a good idea.
This is my informal target/plinking AR-15.
Any thoughts or experience?
