Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Need a trigger

I have a Stag lower with there 2 stage trigger, its a great trigger but want a "nice" single stage trigger, something in the 3 lb range. Can anyone recommend one?

Thanks

I have 2 LMT single stage triggers but they are factory.....I replaced them with WOA tuned RRA triggers.

Timney is very good.

I have a Timney and installed it myself in about 15 minutes. If you knew me, you would be impressed by that...

It's a great trigger.

Can the Timney be tuned to break like a bolt gun trigger?

Passport,

The JP comes pretty highly reccomended.

My armorer buddy says they'll break nicely, around 3#. I don't have experience with it, as I'm happy with my RRA.

I have not pulled all the single stage ones out there, but I have yet to pull one that breaks like a right bolt gun trigger. Good yes. Right. Nope. Never without some creep..

The AR Gold does.

I believe you had tried the Geiselle, if so, doesn't it break like a bolt gun? At $270, it had better......

Any idea what the 2 stage I have now is worth? Is a really good trigger just too light, super clean. The gun was a Super Varmiter and I made it into a 16 inch CAR gun, thus the need for a new trigger.

I have both the Timney and McCormick and the McCormick is the best.

I put a JP trigger in my Bushmaster and like it a lot. Breaks nice and crisp at 3 lbs. Real nice triggers and won't break the bank.
Good luck!

Geiselle yes, but those never get mentioned here in single stage.... rarely anyway, and are high dollar, most folks are thinking 100-150 buck triggers. BTW the Geiselle, like any good one, has to be set up correctly to be great.

And nope... have yet to test an AR gold.... oldman whatever the F he was, touted them too.... which made me puke....

I have always liked my Chip McCormick single stage match. Expensive, but crisp.

What is your price range?

Im open, I dont want to spend 250 or anything like that, as close to 100 as I can keep it. Kinda hoping I can find a used one.

Not going to tell you what you really need ect. Just curious if you have ever tried a good two stage trigger? You will probably find a lot cleaner breaking trigger in a two stage.

Ok, i'll play dumb. All my rifles have single stage triggers, explain to us that do not know what is the difference? I am all ears.

I have a great 2 stage now, just too light. Plus I never cared for a 2 stage. My hope is to make the trigger as "bolt action" like as I can.

The issue in the past has been, and its been addressed, Geiselle has a decent version and supposedly AR Gold is ok too, but the rest....good but not perfect either, that in a semi auto you cannot right a light single stage as it'll jump the sear due to how hard the actions run in recoil... much like a bit too light a bolt gun trigger, if you run the bolt hard and rough, you can make it not catch the sear eihter.

Anyway with a 2 stage you can hold that from jumping by the 2 stages, and set the intial one to be maybe 2-3 pounds give or take, but the second around a pound or so.... And there is a definite stop in there... pretty simple actually... I'd never shot one till I bought an M1A.. and now I love them or at least lets say I have no qualms using them... you pull the weight up on the first stage as you get ready, it gets to the stop, then when you are actually ready, you apply a pound more pressure, that breaks like a glass rod, and its gone... Single stage cannot be that crisp due to action of the recoil and so on.
