Hey guys I had an interesting visit over to the good folks at Timney Triggers located here in Phoenix, Arizona. I have been both a Timney trigger user and dealer for quite sometime and decided it was about time to pay them a visit. Upon coming into the facility I was greeted by a very pretty receptionist and a very friendly gentleman who is so laid back he was working in his bare feet and unless you looked at his business card you would never guess that John owned the company. I was there to discuss AR triggers and using the Timney AR-15 trigger with both commercial .223 and military 5.56 ammunition. The Timney trigger is designed for .223 ammunition but with a very simple spring change it will work with both types. I was able to observe the assembly of the AR trigger from the ground up. Before the visit I thought the triggers were assembled very simply and shipped out. I couldn't have been more wrong. The assembly process is very precise with measurements taken through out the assembly process and quite a lot goes into making the trigger work "just right". The Timney AR trigger besides being very smooth and crisp is very durable and a lot of research has went into it to make it that way. They have went through several updates to the trigger to get it where it is and I have enough confidence in it that it is in my personal weapons. I was given a full tour of the Timney factory. Timney manufactures everything for their triggers from the ground up with the use of state of the art machinery. The tolerances that each part is held to is nothing short of incredible and nothing is lacking in the "attention to detail dept". Timney has some progressive items in development as we speak that should make quite a few of us smile. |
Timney uses a lighter set of springs to "Improve" the trigger. IMHO lightened springs are the wrong answer. IE no good for harder .mil primers. I prefer the Chip but now do all my own trigger work. |
+1 SOC is right. They use the lightening of springs to improve there trigger and get rid of creep. I also use a chippy single stage. Didn't know all this when I bought it, but am damn sure glad mine will shoot those 855s like they are goin out of style |
