I just picked up a noveske stripped lower for my first build and match it with a noveske upper. Right now though I am having a hard time on trigger choices. My perfect world choice is a gisselle but it may be a while before I can afford that and was wondering if the community could recommend any lesser expensive triggers for under 100.00 that are reliable and crisp to use as a starting trigger?
Thanks in advance. |

You could always do the $10 trigger job. JP yellow springs. Bob the hammer, polish the sear and install a grip set screw. I shot a friends gun that I did that too on tuesday and I was amazed at how good the trigger felt after it had a few hundred rounds on it.
ooooor... just leave it alone. It'll work just fine as a stock trigger. |
| Try the standard trigger first. Some are just fine as they are. Others are garbage. If you get a good one, be happy and buy ammo. If you get a piece of junk like I did, the QMS or ACT triggers are a good option. They are standard triggers that have been polished and come with better pins and springs. They are not target triggers, but they did make shooting much more enjoyable for me with less take up and a far cleaner break, and for my purposes they are all the trigger I need. At $45 for the QMS, they are fairly low risk to try. AIM surplus and Primary Arms has them with free shipping right now too. |

You could get a JP original trigger for about $100 (I think they are generally $120). Need to do a little stoning with them though. If you want zero movement/take-up/over-travel and crisp break, JP is the way to go. Put in the yellow trigger spring and red hammer spring to lighten the pull.
I bought an ALG ACT trigger and haven't been impressed. It was ever so slightly better than the DPMS trigger I have. Not worth the extra dough IMO. Geisseles are smooth but they do have a little bit of take up before a nice clean break. |

If i were going to eventually replace this trigger with a Gisselle, i would get the ALG Defense. I don't think ALG Defense is all that high priced.
Otherwise, you could stick with a milspec trigger and replace the springs with JP yellow reduced recoil springs. I have 2 ARs with the milspec parts/JP spring combo. Both work just fine. |

The first stage is often referred to as being a little bit of take-up in the case of a 2-stage trigger. |

OP, lightly polish your stock trigger, cut off the tail, use moly grease, JP springs, and you should end up with a pretty nice trigger. |
