I have a SCAR 17s and, like all SCAR owners, more or less despise the trigger. I have ordered a Timney model 690S trigger that I got a great deal on from Gunbroker, but now I have a question. Looking at the Timney website, they make a separate SCAR trigger called the 691S which has a slightly heavier spring for 308 ammo (this according to the site). Yet, when I look at the model 690s trigger, it lists it as being compatible with the SCAR P16 and P17 (Whatever that means?). The trigger was listed on Gunbroker as being compatible with either one. Any feedback on this would be appreciated-- thanks,

One more question- I received and installed the Timney trigger according to the manual, and after I was finished realized there was a little metal plate that I hadn't installed anywhere, and also which wasn't mentioned at all in the installation instructions. Upon inspection, I figured it was intended to sit below the unit and protect the lower receiver housing from the set screws of the trigger assembly; yet, in the installation instructions, they mention that the screws are "going into plastic" so take care not to over-tighten them. It seems Timney has two ideas about this? The trigger feels great either way, just wondered if anyone had advice on whether or not I need to take it out and install the plate or just leave it as is. Thanks,

The plate is intended to fit between the trigger module and lower to help with deformation of the plastic produced by the set screws. They were added by Timney sometime after the first version of the trigger came out along with the extra-strength spring. I'm guessing that the instructions were not updated to reflect the additional part.
To me, with the additional of these two upgrades, the Timney trigger becomes a great option for the 17 vs the Geissele. Two of the major complaints have been addressed. |
