Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles I wuz warned...

The Geissele SSA showed up last night but Tex forgot to send the disconnector. That should be put in the mail today according to Tex.

I went ahead and installed it in my S&W M&P-15 .300 Blackout, sans the missing disconnector of course. Can't live fire the rifle but I have dry-fired it quite a bit. The SSA is exactly what I wanted - a pull long enough (about .15") to discourage unintentional discharges but one that is light and very smooth. Not surprisingly, the break is crisp and while I've learned about where to expect it, it still comes as a surprise.

Sure makes the mil-spec triggers feel like crap.

ugh. Can't stand trigger movement. Glad to know the SSA comes with creep built in. That way I won't buy one of those ever.

I still personally think that 2 stage is the way to get great triggers in the AR.

But I still want to try the single stage?? Gold just to see.

The SSA is a two-stage. The take-up is in the first stage. Geissele calls it a combat trigger but it will do fine for hunting and targets.

AH, I got it. I'll call Bill first before I order one. He and I go way back.

The shame of it all is that all our current guns have nice triggers in em.

But there are quite a few lowers laying around that need to be built up some day....

I have an Armalite 2 stage Tactical I like. only $100.

kwg

+1 I like mine for a hunting rig

Funny story about that disco. Not exactly about triggers, but interesting...

I'd had no idea it had gotten separated from the trigger. Mailed the trigger, hammer, & springs to you, then went to work on a Leupold Mark 6, which I had put on an AR-10. The top turret has a zero stop function, and to re-adjust it you must loosen 3 little setscrews. I loosened one of the #6 screws too far, and it fell out before I could catch it.

I searched, and searched for over an hour, in my rest/cleaning station/tool box for the screw - which is how I found the disconnector. I picked it up, didn't recognize it, set it aside, then picked it up again wondering what the hell it was, and finally set it in a safe place. That's how I was able to find it so fast, when you asked about it

After looking & looking for the screw, just about everywhere in the room, I finally wondered if it fell into the rifle. Shined a light in the ejection port, and between the locking lugs and chamber, I spot a silver glint. A magnet retrieves the teeny-ass setscrew, and I finally get the scope fixed.

I was pleased to find the disconnector, thanks to the damn dropped setscrew. I was also really pleased the screw didn't wind up in the chamber - or barrel

tex -

The disconnector arrived today and I installed it as soon as I got home from work. It changed the feel of the trigger and there is now a little creep on the second stage where before it kept me guessing. Still, a very good trigger for my purposes.

So much for the S&W .300 BLK, now to get a good trigger for my RRA .223/5.56...

I put the Geissele DMR trigger in the Mk12. Spendy rascal but certainly seems nice.
