Just got my first AR, DDM4A1. I am looking to drop in a different trigger. I would prefer something in that 3-4 lb range and clean breaking. I will mostly be using the gun for range shooting and possibly the occasional predator hunt. What would be some recommendations, does anybody have an extra they would like to sell?

I have 3 of the SSA-E triggers, had a timney in one gun, had an AR-gold for a month. I like the two stage SSA-E trigger.

RR two stage match, military rugged, reasonably priced, and easy to install.

I just ordered it and put it in, the travel on the thing was not so far for firing and I just did not like the feel of it. Trigger's are a personal thing, I either like them or don't like them, I did not like the timney I had all that much either, could be I am just a two stage trigger nut. TAK was always busting on me as he had one and said it was great. He also bought a SCAR17 if you get my drift...

Love my Geissele triggers. The SSA-E is my go-to choice for a non adjustable trigger.

Geissele triggers are great, but my personal preference remains the Timney AR trigger. If you're a lifelong bolt-gun shooter, like me, you'll feel right at home with the Timney.
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

lol, it has nothing to do with bolt guns.
Just what you get used to.
Don't know any bolt gunners that are competitive shooters that don't run Jewel 2 stage triggers in their bolt guns.
May have to try a timney though for my buddy that hates 2 stage. I just have not ever felt a crisp timney in an AR but maybe if I tinker with adjusting enough....

Some of us even run the Jewell 2 stage in our AR's.

Never was a fan of teh jewel in the AR. The early pre production ones were right. I wisehd they would have let us keep our test models...
the ones I had after that, just were nothing special at all. RRA tuned up over that or a Milazzo(yeah right but we have a few) and now a Geisselle.

Beg to differ for those new to ARs. My point is simply this: For some who may have spent a lifetime shooting fine triggers on bolt guns, and are making their initial foray into ARs, they're more than likely going to want a trigger that feels quite similar. I may be wrong, but I don't recall the OP saying anything about running a competition gun.

Never been a Jewell fan for any rifle. From what I hear they don't handle dirt well either. Not as many use them for competition when you are off the bench. Lots of people going with Timney and Huber.

triggers are a personal thing, you either like them or you don't. I can dig my Kimber montana's triggers, but think my Colt 6720 trigger sucks, but I leave it alone as its in a home defense gun with a red dot. I have 3 of the SSA-E triggers, they are good enough for me in an accuracy gun.

Thanks for all the great advice! Kinda sounds like guys really like the Timney or Geissele SSA-E. I don't live in an area where I can run down to the local gun shop and try the different triggers and I would rather not have to spend the money on both. I know this is hard to answer since it really comes down to personal preference but is there some way to make a good guess whether to go single or two stage? I might be SOL and end up buying both but thought I would ask.
Thanks again for the good pointers.
