I need a tuned trigger for my AR with a 16" barrel with a mid length gas system.
This is not a precision / sniper rig.

Single or 2-stage?
3, 4 or 4.5 lb. break?

Please reply with suggestions and recommendations.





My M14s have tuned 2-stage 4.5 lb. triggers that I like very much.
My use of the search feature on this subject turned up nothing.

Thanks.

The first question you have to answer is single stage or two stage.  If you like the 2 stage on your M14 then I would stick with 2 stage.  I am a big fan of consistency.  For two stage triggers I don't think you can beat the tuned RRA's for the price.

If you decide you want something different.  I really like the JP triggers.  The 4lb seems to be a good compromise is pull weight.

+1 for the RRA's 2 stage. Hard to beat for the $$$.

Thanks for the replies and I will check out what has been suggested so far.

Any thoughts on the Geissele Service or DMR Rifle Trigger?

I have a Geissele SSA and it flat out ROCKS!

I had and RRA carbine with a 2 stage trigger.  It felt really nice and crisp.  I've heard some stories about their triggers assemblies failing though - and given some of the things I noticed in my RRA - I'd stay away from that company unless you are looking for a plinker.

I sold mine and got an LMT 16" CQB MRP and the difference is night and day.


To be fair, my RRA was as accurate as I shot it, and the trigger never gave me any problems.

I just installed a Geissele DMR in my S&W 15A.  Amazing trigger that you can easily tune both stages to your liking.  Makes shooting the rifle a real pleasure compared to the gritty single stage contraption I removed.  The Geissle is expensive, but well worth it in my opinion.
