Hello,

I recently purchased a complete rifle and the seller told me he would be installing a Bill Giessele trigger.  Well I have searched for images or anything I can possibly find to help identify this trigger because I  am almost certain that it's not a Giessele trigger.  I will attach a photo and see if anyone can help ID this trigger.

Probably not the best pictures because I did not remove the trigger group from lower but any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Not a geissele. Not even a two stage.  Made by Anderson.

"speed hammer" trigger. As in the tail of the hammer has been cut off.

It is stainless. That's bad. The only alloys of stainless that would work well In a trigger make them silly expensive, and so they use the wrong alloys. Ends up that most stainless triggers end up having galled up sear engagement surfaces. They unlike any other standard single stage trigger get worse the more you use em.

It's about a $40 trigger, hope you didn't pay G trigger prices.

And I'll say this. Anderson is a shitty company, shady as fuck marketing, bullshit claims and shilling. Their lowers are generally fine, it's just the company is a bag of assholes.

Geissele triggers have a visible "G" on the trigger, as well as laser markings on the hammer.

Yeah I am certain its not a Giessele trigger.  I'm not happy with the seller to say the least but I didn't pay too much for the entire build.  So you think its an Anderson trigger?

Contacted seller via email and he says "its a Geissele trigger just not the $200 one."  I sent him pics of the Anderson trigger from the Anderson website and took pictures of the trigger installed in my lower CLEARLY an Anderson and not Gieselle.  The guy offered me a full refund of the rifle, I just want the correct trigger he "sold" me.

If he is offering a full refund, then I would just take that and never deal with him again
