Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles AR Triggers

Never used a JP; but the Geiselle SSA-E is my favorite in a 2 stage (or a G2S or an SSA with a lighter trigger spring.

If you want a bolt like trigger in a single stage, the Elftmann Match is unsurpassed, IMO, & it has a half cock safety notch, much like that on a 1911. But it's not cheap...........

I put a TriggerTech Diamond single stage in a new lower for a hunting rig. I really dig it. No range time yet, as I’m still building the upper out, but I like what I feel with it mounted up.

I do own G SSA-E, and it's my favorite (of the ones I own), also heard good things about the Elftmann on another board. Just wondering if a lighter spring can make the MBT a PRS/Hunting rig. It would save a buck.

not necessarily speaking AR here for a minute. some of my offhand shooting the NRA silhouette discipline a lot of guys like a very light two-stage trigger. I never grew a customer to that I always stuck with about a 6 to 8 oz single stage. all my AR stuff is single stage triggers the lightest being a pound and a half. which was advertised as two and a half so I have no idea how it got to be a pound and a half I did not monkey with it but I really really like it but I can see where it's too light for a lot of applications in the AR format.

now I have recently acquired and got into shooting some mini-14s with a two-stage trigger along with the M1A that I've had for a while. I can get used to a two-stage trigger and these style weapons. which an also being AR so I may try some new triggers out soon myself. so I'm definitely taking notes from a few guys here..

Yes, it will help. So will keeping it lubed.

Try just the trigger spring 1st & see how you like it; if you need / want to go further, then get a lighter hammer spring as long as you are using good ammo that doesn't have super hard primers, as it's possible that you might be too light to fire the primer................but so far, I've never had that happen.

Most likely to be with surplus military ammo. Commercial stuff will be fine as will normal handloads.

Thanks for that advice.

Love my SSA-E. Will order another for a new lower I am acquiring.

Geiselle G2S $88.99
Lowest price I've ever seen on these.
In stock as I type

For a 2 stage trigger I think the Geissele SSA-E is hard to beat and they are now on sale, I think around $150.

I have seen them priced lower---ONE time that I can recall but $150 is a very good price. If I needed another trigger that is what I'd be seeking out. It has a crisper break than the G2S (which ain't bad at all) and I think it's well worth the additional cost.

If you polish up that G2S & put a lighter trigger spring onit, you'll have a non-certified SSA-E.

I run the timney impact triggers. I got one in a trade ar once and was amazed by it. I now have them in all my rifles

I would have a hard time spending about close to $300 for a drop in trigger....

245 at primary arms.

No need to pay more than about $90 for a good/great trigger for your AR..

I bought a Rise Armament SST for my first AR and liked it so much, I bought three more for the next three ARs that followed me home. I paid $80-100 each for them. Very similiar to a good bolt-action trigger. I don't kick in doors, I just hunt and plink with them, although they'll be handy to have when the Chinamen come over the hill...

I have several Rise Armament triggers in my AR’s, and I really like them. My 7.62x39 does not though, I have a basic GI trigger if you will with extra force hammer spring, in it.

Way late reply. LOL.

I did put it in a truck gun in Alaska. Keep it full of 75 bthp for bear issues. Its not one that I would buy again but its not a bad trigger at all.

the SSA-E has always been good to me, they have been my go too trigger. I also have a hyper fire which is the fastest trigger I have ever used, not sure of the pull but has to be 1-2 pounds or so.

fast as in lock time?
