AR-15 Triggers

[CAMPMEAT]

My gunsmith said he got my trigger from Rock River Arms for $75 dealer cost for my RRA. So I'm thinking one of the mfgrs that make good aftermarket kits probably made this one. Ya think ?

The standard AR15 trigger can not be modified.  Don't even try.  The only result will be an unsafe trigger. 

Not true... But you had better know what you are doing.  


Bill Springfield can modify yours or I believe you can buy a drop in.   www.triggerwork.net

I did the set-screw mod to mine. It worked very well and cost about $0.30.

No, The RRA two stage NM trigger is a completely different animal from the Timney or Jewell triggers.  They integrate with the stock parts to make a stock AR legal in the military class rifle matches.  The other options are self-contained trigger/hammer units that are not National Match legal.  3 of the 4 AR lowers I own are ones I built from stripped lowers and using RRA complete parts kits.  The parts kits at the time were $130, with the NM trigger components.  But if you already had a complete lower, you could get just the NM trigger parts for $70.  I haven't looked on the RRA website to see what the cost of the parts are now.  I got mine a couple of years ago.

The cost for mine online was $125, but my buddy is a dealer so it was $70 he told me. I bought the RRA from him complete and I wanted a lighter trigger. He said it was the whole trigger and not parts. I no nothing about these rascals. Load, shoot, clean.

You will love the NM trigger.  Vast improvement over standard issue.  I'll bet you'll notice it in your groups right off.  Takes a bit of getting used to though.  If you aren't careful and don't completely release the trigger between shots, it's easy to "double-tap" the target.

The gunsmith that put it in is an Armorer for the Border Patrol here. He really liked the feel of the trigger and wants 1/8 groups or bullseyes all the time. Double tap up near the border will scare off the greenies I'm sure. It's only a coyote gun ( for now ).

 ++1 for Bill Springfield!
I have sent 2 of my AR triggers to him & they came back GREAT! If you send him your trigger group it will cost about $50. I have a 4 lbs & a 3 lbs and you can really feel the difference between the two. They defiantly helped me get a tighter shot group.

I will eventually send every trigger group of every gun I own to him. Not only is his work great, he knows EXACTLY what he is doing & he is a nice guy.

Haha, next time you should take the 5 minutes to put the trigger together yourself! It's a really simple operation and would give you a greater understanding of how your rifle works. Nothing to it with an RRA NM, just assemble, hose it out to make sure you haven't left any grit, put a couple drops of oil in it and slap the upper on.

I'd probably put it in assbackwards. Not really. It only cost me beer to have a pro put it in. Besides, he's got all the cool tools and stuff.

I've got several of the rock river 2 stage triggers.  I like them while they work but sooner or later they wear and need to be reground.  rock river will do that for you under warantee if you can get through to them on the phone.

These are hands down the best trigger for an AR-15 I've ever owned.  The military is probably their biggest customer. 
Just fantastic, never heard a single bad thing about them....  Some of their models are rather expensive, but in my opinion worth it.

These are some of the better triggers on the market, I'm runnung RRA national match triggers in my comp guns right now, but if I were to switch.

This is a pretty good write up on after market triggers for AR's

[snowranger]

Timney is the best i have one and the difference is amazing you won't be disappointed.  As long as you try your stock POS trigger first..  And modifying is out of the question.  Right about the time you get the stock trigger to perform the way you want it with send multiple rounds down range and you'll never know when it will decide to do so. Buy a timney!!

Don't forget about Bill Springfield...I've heard nothing but good things about his work.
