Drop in triggers

[Elk34]

So what do you prefer?

What kind of firearm are we talking about?

[Elk34]

Let's say Ar15 style.

Just standard mil spec it's more than fine for me. Learning marginal triggers makes everything else easy peasy.

I'm not brand loyal, but there are a lot of good drop in options out there. Anything adjustable is a plus. I like to dial out most of the take-up and then set the trigger pull to somewhere between 3.5-4 lbs.

I have used Timney, POF, Geissle and a few others in AR's i find they all for the most part do there job of improving the trigger over a run of the mil DPMS Parts kit trigger. But i can shoot an AR just fine with a mil-spec trigger for the way i use it. But i am not a trigger snob nor a competitor. I tend to look for the best price on the drop in triggers which is probably not the best idea. But so far the POF triggers that were on sale a while back has been just about as good as the Timney that cost almost 100.00 more. I have used Rock River 2 stage triggers (Not Really drop in) as well and really did not feel they were enough better than a Mil-spec to justify the cost for how i use an AR. For a service rifle competitor the Rock River used to be the standard but i am sure that has changed with all the options out there.

Geissele SD-3G or LaRue MBT. Flat trigger face.

LaRue MBT-1S is very popular for about $80. I'd start there before spending more unless you know what you want.

I have POF triggers in all my AR's. They are a great trigger and can be found on sale at a very reasonable price.

Elf and you are supporting local Arizona. Top-end uses roller bearings and it's amazing
I use a Geissele in my B&T since the Elf wasn't specific.

This is one of the best bang for a buck.

CMC 3.5 lb single stage for AR.They can be had for about 100-120 from aim

That's pretty much where I am. After growing up on milsurp rifles and then my time in the Army I got to where I could use a marginal trigger very well.

That lesson was reinforced when I took the Mauser action .30-06 I bought when I was 16 and dumped the military trigger and installed a Timney. The groups stayed exactly the same, around 1-3/4" 5 shot 100 yard groups.

I’ve shot a bunch of drop in triggers for AR’s and I haven’t found one that really is any better than the others. I personally have CMC triggers in a few of my rifles for the simple fact I can pick them up for a reasonable price. I find that I really enjoy shooting a rifle with a trigger that is around 3-3.5lbs. For some reason that is a sweet spot for me so no matter what trigger I choose I tend to stick with something around that weight. If you can you should go shoot some rifles with a few triggers and find some things you like and dislike and make a decision based on that.

In 3 of the five build I went with Velocity 3 lb. There made here in Phx. The owner used to work for Timney. Basically the same trigger but cost less. I like to support local businesses.
