First and by far most important upgrade on the L2 will be a new, much lighter trigger. I prefer 2.5lbs on my work & predator/varmint rifles and 3lbs on my medium/big game hunting riflres. I want a drop- in trigger group type trigger, so it looks like a CMC or Timney have the initial lead.
Been over 30 years since I serviced AR platforms beyond field stripping to clean them. Long ago I spent roughly a year as NCOIC of the 1st MP Co Arms Room so even though my memory is a little fuzzy, I do know my way around their innardfs. I think it will come back quickly once I have the rifle in my hands at my work bench. So I'm looking for input from those who have installed & shot both the CMC and Timney triggers. Pros, cons, person opinion likes/dislikes. The more information I have, the better decision I can make. Right now I'm leaning toward the non-adjustable 3 lbs CMC... Thanks in Advance Capt B |

I have Timney, Geissle, CMC, and RR2Stage.
I thought my Geissele was best, until I tried a Timney. I must say that I strongly prefer single stage triggers. The Timney is best for feel, and pull, but I would think that the Geissele has faster lock time, but I could be wrong. My CMC feels like a strong wind would set it off, like a 1.5lb pull, it's way too light, and even so there is a small amount of grit in the pull. If you are a 2 stage guy, I'd say buy a Geissele SSA or SSA-E. If you like single stage, I'd say Timney. I was completely surprised by the quality and feel of the Timney. I had tried one at my local store on a 9mm build they had on the wall and I loved it, I've got the 4lb as well. It's not like my Geissele is awful, it's like comparing a BMW to Mercedes. |

Thanks for all the straight up no BS replies. These are the kind of intell dumps I like & find most useful.
Got a call from CMC yesterday and they stepped up to the plate bigtime. my 3-3.5 lbs trigger group will arrive next week around Wed, just in time for a patrol rifle familiarization class & range session for all my uniforms that aren't on SIU (SIU operators who have qualified are individually issued a DPMS M-4). |
| I've done one build with the Timney and two with the Geissele. For me, I guess I am just more used to the two-stage triggers so I've leaned toward the Geissele as the feel that I prefer (and what I'm most familiar with). The Timney was nice, and I'd probably be able to get used to it with time but... I really like my Geissele triggers more. YMMV |

Operators? DPMS?
