Couldn't stand it , ordered one . My first Geissele AR trigger

will not be your last....

I have mostly Timney and McCormick AR Triggers on my AR'S

Prepare to replace all your others.

Have a SSA-E and a SD-E and no regrets. Now wanting to scrounge funds for the adjustable Designated Marksman or whatever it is for a special project. Durn thing costs as much as some would only pay for an upper without a BCG.lol

Nice triggers, don't think I have read a bad thing about the triggers or the company?? Which says a lot with the way internet forums/conversations circulate true and untrue information!

I have them in all my ARs, money well spent imo. I have shot most triggers out there for the AR and they are better than anything I have pulled..

I 'm sure i will like this trigger, but love the McCormick for hunting.

My LEO son just had to qualify with his Bushmaster AR-15 that I had installed a Geissele SSA trigger in. Somewhere just over 300 rounds into the day the trigger would not return to battery. Upon inspection my son found that the coil spring that resets the trigger was in a "bind" and would not allow the sear to catch the hammer.

I put the Bushmaster trigger back into the rifle since he had qualified with it for years without any trouble.

Right now I think a Geissele is fine for target shoots or a day in the varmint field but I would not have my life depend on one. Now I know many thousands of these triggers are in service and work fine, and mine is a rarity, but once you have lost confidence in something it is hard to return.

I will be sending it back to Geissele for their inspection and comment.

Geissele is having a 15% off sale today and tomorrow with free shipping.

Not a bad deal if there was something besides the SSA-E you were interested in.

I just payed 192.00 for my SSA-E 2

That's a great deal. I only mentioned the Geissele sale if there a different model somebody was interested in. All models are on sale on his website.

EDIT: I didn't realize all the Geissele models were on sale at P/A!.

If you had a "spring binding", it was installed incorrectly. Geissele Combat Triggers are the most reliable triggers made. They are the only ones more reliable than GI Spec triggers.


Putting free float rails and Geissele SSF and SSF-E triggers in all USSOCOM M16 family of weapons is one of the best things to happen to US combat guns.

check out the RRA VARMINT trigger. way less money. make sure you don't get the NM but the varmint model instead. bought 2 on special a couple weeks ago $62 each from RRA. can't beat that anywhere. normally you can buy them for less than 90

Formidilosus,

Negative, the trigger was installed correctly. That trigger has had maybe 1500 rounds through it over the last three years just in the LEO drills and my son shooting it for practice.

When I got the rifle from him it was working perfectly. He said he cleaned it and noticed the disconnect spring appeared to be setting crooked in the disconnect. After he cleaned it it worked perfectly, I shot it myself for 100 rounds. The disconnect spring is installed correctly, with the large end down.

My guess is that a piece of primer or other debris got under the disconnector or the trigger itself.

The trigger is most likely fine, but I cannot trust it at this time. I am sending it back to Geissele and have them look it over and test it for function.

I know the Bushmaster trigger works.

the RR varmint is definitely the best trigger out there for the dollar.

This. Installation error does not a bad trigger make.

VaHunter,

A primer lodging itself in the trigger can and will mess them all up. If you'd like I'd be willing to install it in a work gun and put a few thousand (10k) rounds through it and send it back....?

Probably the first time I history that someone chooses Bushmaster anything over Geissele.

I love my SSA-E, best trigger I have ever pulled on an AR!
