Quote HistoryQuoted:
This. Only reason you'd need a really high end trigger is for precision work at distance. You don't particularly notice the grit and grind when you're putting pairs in center mass at fifteen yards, especially not if you're wearing gloves. Those $300 triggers may feel nice, might even shrink your groups by a quarter inch at a hundred yards, but that's over half the price of an Aimpoint. No, thank you. I prefer the thousand-round trigger job, myself. Nice, smooth and predictable. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Tag. In for my free trigger when it hits the market, since it was my idea.
BTW...I just built a new rifle using an SSA-E and love the trigger. The MK4 rail is very nice too! I am digging this rifle, alot.

My LMT trigger(s) were bad at the beginning, and bad 2+ cases of ammo later. I was once a "why spend the $" guy. Then I realized that life is short, and I'd be happier putting fewer rounds downrange with a nicer trigger instead of waiting for some magical event that never happened. My groups in a carbine class shrank so dramatically after a trigger swap that multiple people asked what happened overnight to make me such a better shot. Would I buy the trigger described? Probably. It would go nicely with my SSAs, SSF, and S3G. |

Would you buy one if its 2 stage/1 stage or like the TacCon? BTW-the $500 is out unless the trigger was way, way complicated. No way I can see it being that much unless volumes are really low. More like $325ish Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Quoted:
Some people have asked Bill Geissele about the possibility of engineering a trigger similar to the TacCon trigger, i.e. selectable where semi would be a two stage like the SSA and auto would be a very light single stage like the 3 gun trigger. See the thread discussing it here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_444/243034_Question_for_Geissele___This_trigger_design_would_be_awesome.html Mr Geissele has questioned if there would even be a market for such a trigger. Please vote "Yes" if you would buy and "No" if you would not. For the sake of discussion assume the trigger would cost approximately $500. Fuck yes. I actually bought 2 Aero lowers with the 3rd selector mark in anticipation of the Tac Con trigger. Reviews were lousy enough that I figured I'd wait until a real deal pops up on EE to grab one and try it. If Geissele made one, I'd buy two. Tell him I want to know where to pre order. Would you buy one if its 2 stage/1 stage or like the TacCon? BTW-the $500 is out unless the trigger was way, way complicated. No way I can see it being that much unless volumes are really low. More like $325ish SDE and sd3g. $325 done tell me when to send the check. I'll take 2 err... Maybe 1 this month and 1 next. Easier to hide from the accountant. |
