Title: Timney or Gisley trigger
Post by: kisfish 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.

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.

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!

Post by: Biggerhammer on January 03, 2016, 08:45:16 AM: 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

Post by: JDHasty on January 03, 2016, 05:00:54 PM: 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.
