Who's got some experience with AR triggers and can recommend one around $150? Please tell me if I'm smoking Brandon's crack pipe for asking for a decent trigger at this price range.

I have these on a few ARs. They go on sale at Palmetto State and other places quite often for $119.99. I love these triggers

Unbelievable difference for my AR. Can be found for less if you shop. I went with the SD E.

My AR literally sits in the safe for 10 months out of the year and only comes out to excite my non-gun friends, or to go shoot winter coyotes. Which is why I'm looking for a trigger now :chuckle: A $300+ trigger makes no sense for me ;) Thanks for the Larue link.
+1 for larue. FANTASTIC triggers for the money.
Thanks for the input, Karl! Do you have any experience to compare the Larue 2 stage to the CMC or the Timney? I don't mind spending an extra $50 if it's going to be worth it.

Thanks, I'm into the curved trigger!

Most of my friends have Elftmann or Larue triggers and they are happy with them.

I got my RRA two-stage as part of my LPK and it's excellent.
$150 for everything.
Me too. I love it.

Super Dynamic Enhanced is what I have. If you go to their page (or youtube), and watch the vids of the owner talking about the different triggers and their applications, you will get a better overall understanding of AR triggers.

Did it in my ar10 and and the added recoil or something was messed up. Trigger didn't reset right. Hammer was falling with the bolt ,3 or 4 round burst. Then you could charge it and shoot again with the same result.
Never had it fire out of battery ,but that seemed like it was going to happen.
Never had anything like that happened with ar15 though.
And I've sanded a few.
But since I wanted to hunt with it,and be "safe" and all.
I bought one of these.
Free shipping and all.
It's not a match trigger ,but leaps and bounds better than factory or milspec.
Look on graniteridge outfitters ,jmt sabor 99 dollars shiped.
For some reason my phone won't paste the link.

I am a fan of jmt triggers. I have a couple sabers and they are greatYup same here,quality product for the money. :tup:

I don't really know,maybe the Timmy trigger is adjustable.
The sabor is drop in ,probably right at 4lb ,not adjustable,plug and play ,drop in ,you get what you get.
I do remember though ,I put blue locktight on all the set pins, do to recoil on my ar10 ,and that baby is still rock solid in there and never had a problem with it ,as far as function and all that.
So that might be something to think about,blue locktight if you don't plan on change triggers all the time.
If you drop in and plan on leaving it,lock tight it.
If you change it all the time then don't.
It's just something to think on. I've had every part come lose on AR at some point except barrel nut,and I think that's just cause it's torqued.

I put one in one of my ARs quite a few years ago, and liked it so much I never tired anything else.
They routinely show up for $89, and it is a better trigger than I am a marksman.
IMHO , it is the one nonnegotiable upgrade for an AR.

Between wife, kids and myself, I think I've put in 8 LaRue triggers.

They have pretty slick deals on QD scope mount/scope combos as well. Larue is my go to for any first upgrades for the AR platform.

I ended up getting impatient because I also got a new scope and wanted to use the new trigger on sight in before this weekend. I went to Sportsman's and bought a Timney for $139 HAHA. We'll see how I like it. :tup:
I have one with the Timney and one with a Rise Armament RA 140 and I actually like the RA better. If you ever need another look at a RA.

Hands down LaRue wins . Unless you want to spring for Geisselle .
Plus Larue always packs a little patriotic swag in the box.
I'm a sucker for patriotic swag.

Another great option is the ALG Defense ACT trigger. From the way I understand it, ALG is Geissley’s sister company. I have a both, and can’t tell the difference until I look at the receipt. I also like the CMC, never tried the Larue. I’m like others, bolt guns excite me… AR’s are just something I have because I can.You are correct ALG is owned by G .

But, If I was to do it again, I would be buying Larue Triggers. they are close or as good as my Geisselle triggers, but 1/4 - 1/3 the cost.
I just wish I would have known that before I invested in Geisselle.
Post by: phildobaggins on February 15, 2022, 06:15:24 AM
All my ARs have Geisselle triggers on them, and they are fantastic triggers.

So many people have agreed on Larue. Having never shot one, and being obsessed with the Timney I got, I don’t see how I could want anything more from a trigger.
What is so good about the Larue, other than the price? What makes the Geisselle so special to call for their price?

Shoot them, is there creep? How do they break, then reset? To much overtravel?
I shot my buddy's DD Mk12, that had a Geisselle trigger, and loved it. I bought my Geisselles in one batch. A couple months later I shot another AR with a Larue, and liked it just as much.
Either are night and day above stock triggers.
Timney makes decent triggers. A couple of my hunting rifle have Timney's.
