That explains why I was piercing primers and ruined the FP on my match rifle with the Hi-Speed and Win blue box primers. Switched to Wolf SRM and no more problems. The Win primers work fine in my Sako .222 though.

Save a few dollars and get a Timney. Good trigger, good suggestion.
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

I have an SSA-E. It is a world above the SSA. The second stage is about 2 lbs. It might have a tiny bit of creep but as soon as you start squeezing it to try to determine if you can detect the creep , it goes off. I personally think they are better quality and more durable than the Timney. I can't imagine a better trigger in a non bench rest gun. The SSA-E gives you the safety of a two stage with an excellent 2 lb second stage all in a non enclosed durable trigger.

I would be willing to bet that there are 5-10 Timneys out there for every Geissele.

So why are AR triggers most all two stage? Is it supposed to be safer than a single stage?

I think most members with a brain and whom are willing to use it will get the coralation between the timney geissele ,bushmaster noveske ,taurus Les Baer All serviceable products but some are just better.

There is more to the story, but in general- yes.

There is more to the story, but in general- yes. The last thing I want are unsafe firearms in my gun safe. I looked and there are no safely precautions included within the Timney packaging. Please explain.

after shooting an AR quite a bit lately. I have become a huge fan of the 2 stage trigger. I just hit with it. I don't know why anyone would put a single stage trigger in an AR especially one that is supposed to be an upgrade.

I just switched to a single stage from an SSA-E. For fast shooting at around 100ish yards I found the two stages messed up my timing.
Up close they're equal. At distance the Geisselle was the clear winner. But in the middle the single stage has been better for me.

Please explain. The Timney trigger adjustments are known to come loose if proper precautions aren't taken. The jam nut comes loose and the set screw comes loose rendering the gun inoperable. Make sure they are tight,locktite,and a dab of epoxy over them
