Need to buy a new trigger today.

[CJW]

Boys,
I need to buy a drop in trigger today.
What are the best brands and models?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Money is no object, I pulled up my 401K today and it’s up to almost $400!

Live Big,
Chuck

I have 2 of these, great triggers, especially for $99.

A second vote for the Larue triggers. They are exceptionally well done, beating every other model I’ve tried and at a reasonable price.

timney 2.5 lb drop in. I also like those trigger pin sets that screw in from both sides, ensures they don't slide out on you. I had that happen once or twice (don't remember the trigger but it was a drop in), but they definitely improve the trigger area imo.
Rise and CMC also have triggers, but the timney costs a bit more than they do, not a bunch but a bit more.

I have a LaRue 2 stage in one rifle and a Geiselle single stage in the other. Both good triggers, but I lean toward the LaRue after having used both for a while.

Timney calvin elite 1.5lb

I have a LaRue MBT-1 in there now, I want to replace it.

Thanks for the input…

Greyfox how are you doing? Good to talk with you again. I’ve been away for 3 years during China Flu, cancer and such.

During that time I got tied up with the most vile people on earth, almost as bad as the Hoard

The boys at Catfish1 influenced me to start fishing for blues and flatheads….

I started fishing and couldn’t stop.

Then I was watching a video Double Naught Spy last week when he killed the last pig in Texas and I got the bug again.

The last pig I killed DNS was kind enough drive a long ways to give me a lesson on how to kill the cloven hooved beast.

It has been fun all of the old members post……I haven’t seen anything from PopEye, hope he is well?

Thanks for the recommendations for LaRue from everyone, I love them as well but just wanted to try something different.

I should have said Drop In Trigger, not trigger, and did not mean to sound like a pompous a$$ in this post.


Just ordered a Timney.

[Zeneffect]

Which one? Anyone not used to the calvin elite and has poor trigger control will very easily double fire accidentally. Just be very aware of that if you get this and let someone try it.

[grayfox]

Chuck great to hear from ya. Yeah I get fishing adv stuff every now and then, did some when I as a kid, mostly catfish and bluegills in the river close to our house.
Idaho was fishing heaven to be sure, couple of years there!!! Lots of trout, creeks, streams, ponds and lakes, bait fishing for me as I don't have the fly fishing gene hahaha!!!

Glad to hear you got thru the "plandemic". I had a bout with the big C about 10-12 yrs ago. Took the norman schwartzkopf approach in my mind (and surgery too)... I will hunt this thing down, I will find it and I will kill it.

Only AR trigger I've installed myself was a Rock River Arms "National Match" trigger. I did it without a magazine block.....I clamped the lower to a table with a "C-clamp" and installed it that way. Friend borrowed the rifle and used it in competition for a year and then a year with it as an instructor.

Thanks Two Tone,Zeneffect,603 Country,Spadrooner,dexdog and greyfox,
You guys are the very best…..

Bought a Timney & screw trigger pins.

I thought your post was funny.

It's a sad state of affairs with the decline of my own 401K's value.

I was hoping to retire at 59 1/2. It appears I'm further away than I wanted to be now.

In the meantime, there will lots of fun had at the range and not gonna worry over what I can't control.


I read your opening post and was wondering what your plan was for the gun. I have some Geissele triggers in a couple lw16" carbines and love how they run.

Also installing a Trigger Tech in an AR-10 that I'm setting up for longer range fun.

Not sure what I'll do with the Grendel when it arrives. Will evaluate the factory trigger and see how it goes. Setting the gun up for mid range target fun.


Can't go wrong with Timney on any of their triggers. Awesome products from a stellar company.

if you got the calvin, do yourself a favor and go straight for the knurled straight trigger. its incredibly good and fast enough when paired with a titanium firing pin that if you bork the shot, its never by very much.

I've switched to Triggertech Adaptable for all of my toys. It makes it easy when they all feel the same. The Diamond will get down to 1.5 lbs supposedly but 2.5 lbs and crisp is good enough for me.

AimSurplus has some great deals right now.

For a while I had LaRue MBT-2S in everything, until I tried a TriggerTech and now they are my top choice for precision rifles. The Adaptable 2.5-5 lb trigger is their sweet-spot in the lineup (I run it in my Aero M5 6.5C), but OpticsPlanet has a smoking deal on the Competitive 3.5 lb trigger for Independence Day. If you don't mind a VERY short 1st stage, these are absolutely fantastic. I've run one in my Mk12 for about a year and just ordered another for my 18" Grendel. I'm debating adding yet another to my 14.7" Recce (which currently runs an MBT-2S).

Coupon Code "AR15" brings the price down from $170 to $145 (MSRP $220).

Thanks Drew

is there any trade-off of going to a drop-in trigger, vs the more conventional 2-part units? Is it just cost, or is there a weight component to that as well? Reliability/blown primer tolerance issues?
