AR15 trigger upgrade

[mattw]

I just ordered a Rise Sporting trigger for my daughter. Could not pass up the price at Aim, 89 plus tax with pins. Gets good reviews, hope she likes it.

Pretty sure I have one of these. It's a nice trigger and a great value.

Ive got two of them. GIAINT step above milspec. I also like the psa 2 stage that they sell for around 60 bucks but to me a two stage is a good hunting and target trigger but I prefer a single stage for defense.

Lloyd, I would love a 2 stage in my 300 BO. Been really wanting the Geissele Hi-speed National Match. Just can't justify it for a rifle that will never see competition.

The only aftermarket trigger I have used is the Geissele SSA and it is a great trigger, but a little pricey at $179 when on sale at PSA. It is worth the money but gets expensive with multiple ARs. I will follow this thread as I am always looking for less expensive ways to improve trigger pulls. A competition shooter in TN where my wife lives showed me how to bend AR trigger springs to reduce the weight. It definitely reduced the pull weight, but I have concerns about ignition and reliability. Time and shooting this spring will tell.

I sure like my Velocity self contained trigger.

I shoot bench rest rifles for fun, I am a bit of a trigger snob as they all have 1.5 oz. trigger pulls. I would never consider that light for a shoulder borne rifle. My daughter shoots those on the bench, but I think about 3.5 pounds will be perfect for the AR and steel plates.

Larue MBT-2 or -1. I have a couple of the -2 and love them. For about $87 they are awesome. The -2 is a 2 stage and the -1 is single.

That sounds interesting. When I did the JP reduced power springs in my AR I ended up cutting the spur off the back of the hammer to make it look more like JP's. It worked well for me didn't have a problem with steel case 5.56 even. Add the grip screw mod to it and you've got a not bad trigger for very minimal money.

If you're doing 80% and you're careful you can keep the floor below the trigger a bit higher and eliminate a lot of the rack trigger's take up.

don't know who actually makes those psa 2 stage but ive gotten them from psa and delta tactical and there the same. There not perfect but like I said for 60 bucks there a good value. Anymore I buy parts kits minus the firing group and save 20 or 30 bucks and buy one of those for 60 so it cost me 30 for a big upgrade. Ive got enough psa trigger groups in the drawer from ones I replaced with aftermarket so even when im building a beat ar I buy parts kits sans the fireing group.

Another vote for the Larue trigger! I have the two stage version and it is superb. For less than 90 bucks, you cannot find a better trigger and the quality of materials and manufacture are second to none.
