First AR build - range day

[Tedward]

Buying a trigger from TriggerWorks will cost about $45; on the other hand, a Geissele SSA-E (which I've noticed many forum members own) sells for $230 at Midway. My question: is the Geissele trigger so much better than the one customized by an experienced gunsmith to justify the difference in price? We're looking at a trigger that is 5 times more expensive! Like everything else, there is a price/value ratio and many times this is inflated by factors other than the features of the product (I also know that value is "in the eyes of the beholder"). Is there anything else in between these two extremes that might work? My final goal is to get a trigger that is light and crisp for target shooting but that could also work in hunting situations.

The Geissele triggers are all MP Tested so you pay extra for that. If you want the same thing and the trigger is not a life or death situation, you can save some money and get a G2S if you want a Geissele. Read there note, same trigger, just MP spot checked.

Also his wifes company sells polished triggers off the shelf. ALG triggers. Still a heavier pull but polished professionally.

A few less expensive approaches.But Trigger Works is a place to go if you already have a trigger.

Thank you all for your input. I ended up ordering the G2S - thank you Tedward for the links.

Good deal, let me know how it works out, I might be picking one up too. Also thinking of an ALG for my son to just see if it is any different than the reworked one from TW.

Post some pic's back here once you get it set up and shot some groups. I'll be watching....
