Timney or Gisley trigger
« on: December 30, 2015, 11:51:06 AM »
I have been looking at triggers for an ar. I am not a fan of the standard mil spec pull and feel. Just wondering what your thoughts are on a good after market trigger. I have been looking at Timney and Gisley and wonder what your experience is with them. Also what about the pins. It looks like from a design stand point the Gisley with anti roll pins is the way to go. I read some reviews on timney and the set screws worked loose on a few allowing the pin to come out.   Thanks for your input.

Rainier Arms somewhere over there on the West side (Auburn maybe?  It's all Seattle to me.) has a display of quite a few triggers that you can try out.  It has been a year or so since I have been but it was nice to check out a half dozen or so manufacturers before purchasing my triggers. 

I went with a JP though.

I've got a timney in my big game rifle and a few geissele triggers in my ar's. I really like the geissele triggers personally and will continue to pay their crazy prices until I find a trigger I like more.

My AR has a geiselle trigger an,d I love it real crisp and light, having said that I will mention that my son bought it for me so that is really the only reason I have it. And the previous poster that mentioned Ranier arms (Auburn) was correct they have a good selection of triggers that you can try out right there great company!
That which does not kill me should've had a better plan

Timney 3lb here single stage in a 6.5 Grendel AR platform. No complaints and extremely easy to install  ;)
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

Are you looking for a "Two stage" or "Single stage" trigger? Some companies carry both. Some carry one or the other. I prefer two stage triggers on AR's.  Rock River Arms does their two stage national match trigger and they can be found for around $75.00. I like them and use them in pretty much everything. I consider them the basic work horse type trigger. There is a world of after market triggers out there for the AR.

Also, it's pretty impressive how smooth and light you can get a AR trigger with a little love and the installation and adjustment of AR trigger pin.

Are there any good videos or other how-tos on this?  THX

This is what I'm reffering to. They work amazingly well. Especially when it comes to the trigger reset. It replaces the standard grip screw.

A local guy here in Wenatchee makes them. He supplies the trigger screw, polishes what's needed and installs and adjust your trigger and the factory trigger is incredible. All for $50.00

Geisselle for me.  I use the SDE w/straight trigger to make the reach a little longer and more comfortable for me.  I would not go on trigger feel alone, I have seen a couple, and that it two too many, double and magazine dumps at the range with one of the others other brands.
