| My new 6920 has it's stock trigger and I hate it. I must be upgraded. I read about Geissele triggers being really good. With no experiance with them I have no opinion. I have used a JP set up before and liked it. Would I be better off with either over the other? |
| I would just send it to Bill Springfield for his trigger job. You can get the #4 trigger or even less for about a quarter (or less) of what the 'drop in' triggers are. His turnaround is quick (mine was just a week from dropping it in the mail and receiving it back in the mail) and it will give you an excellent trigger. I recommend him highly. 44 Man |

Quoted:
I was thinking 1.5 to 2lbs pull. Can a stock trigger be reworked to that? If so would it be as good as a new trigger group? Edit I guess not. According to Bill's site 3-4 lbs is what he is claiming. I want more Thanks for the suggestion though. Geissele triggers are great, I have quite a few of them. If this is a defensive weapon I would stick to the 4lbs and up range. There is no way I would want to 1.5lb trigger on a defensive weapon (which is the main use of a 6920). |

While the main use people often have for a 6920 might be defence it wouldn't be my sole intention. Even if it was I'd still have to tweak the horridly heavy trigger pull down to at least to 2.5lbs to be remotely comfortable. Most people get jumpy when I tell them my M21 is set for 1.5lbs. I get all sorts of comments on that. Light isn't for everyone, but to each there own. Promise not to shoot you in the back climbing things or diving for cover. 
I think I'll order a Geissele DMR set up and tune it to my liking. That should be a pretty sweet unit. Anyone using one? |

You might be right about 1.5-2 lbs trigger pull for you, but I agree with the others - there is NO way in hell I'd ever do that on an AR.
I set up some of my target revolvers at around 2-2.5 lbs (single-action), and no one else could shoot them. The guns either scared them to death or they'd shoot a hole in the roof before they even took a set at the bench. For a high-strung target revolver shot single-action, a light trigger break can be a nice thing in the right hands. But not a defensive arm like an AR. No no no no.

Lets not argue. I'm not busting down doors or jumping threw windows. If I were I'd still have the trigger I requested because it makes me happy.. Beyond the final pull weight does anyone use a Geissele DMR trigger set up on their AR? If so how do you like it. Simple question.

get a Geis SSA if you MUST replace the trigger... Honestly Learning to run your current trigger will be more beneficial in the long run...
I run a WOA tuned 2 stage on one of my longer-range guns... and a Geis SSA on my 18" competition/varment gun... it's VERY hard to tell the difference between the two triggers... but the 2-stage 4lb goodness that they both possess is hard to beat... That said? I have no problems hitting 1.5moa out to 300m w/ a stock GI trigger... It's all about the practice =) Learn your 'grit-stops' and you'll know when it will break. |

Once you've utilized a Geissele, you may just find yourself upgrading all your other AR's to this trigger. They're that good. |
| the nice thing about a Geissele (sp) is the rock solid lock at the end of the first stage. I love the one in my Service Rifle..My 2 stage WOA'a in my A-2, Varmint and M-5 Massad Ayoob Sabre are awesome. I like being able to feel the end of the first stage and then the crisp break for the second... |
I love my DMR, I have it in two of my rifles, however those are bench guns. If thats what your using your pony for, go for it. If not, you should get a trigger job first, Bill does a decent 3lb job. Try that for 50 bucks first.(before you go and drop $270) http://www.triggerwork.net/
