AR trigger

Member Posts: 14,294 ✭✭✭✭
I'm setting up my Colt AR for Coyote's, I've got a Leopold AR scope and a Harris bipod but the rifle has that stock 3000 lb trigger pull.
I'd like to get a good trigger job (around 3 lb pull).
Would prefer not to send the whole rifle anywhere and I don't necessarily want to have to refinance my house to pay for it either.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I really enjoy the RRA two-stage trigger. Try it and I believe you'll like it better than what you have now. There may be something out there better, but I don't know about it if there is.
I agree with this suggestion,.....why send it out when you can install one yourself that breaks like glass?[;)]

I installed a RRA National match trigger on my last build, its nice. My Bushmaster Carbon 15 trigger is just as good IMO.
I was reading up on the RRA trigger and I believe it said that it was NOT for the Colt's. Is this correct or did I miss something?
I think that's for older Colts - wider pins. You can get a RRA 2 stage for $89.00 (shipping included) from ar15sales.com out of NH.
Never have put a guage on it, but it improved my groups considerably.
Installed it myself in about 20 minues and cost around $120 if I remember right.
It's probably the best standard trigger that money can buy. And it costs you nothing extra.
Look into the Timney drop in setup. They are smooth as butter and easy as pie to install.
+1 on a Timney. I have one in my AR, it has a 3 pound pull, no creep, and it breaks like glass. Easy install too, drops right in.

The pins and the trigger are a silver color:

Thanks for all the input, I think that I'm going with the RRA trigger although the one that fits the early Colt (with sear block) cost more.
It will still be cheaper then the trigger MC has listed above.
Hey Mark, where did you get the wood furniture for that AR?
I bought that pistol grip from CDNN about eight years ago, maybe even longer than that. I have small hands for an adult man and while it has a nice range of adjustment, it is probably going to be too small for guys with large hands and it is probably for that reason that they discontinued them. If you look at the first photo you can see that the base is adjusted nearly all the way down and as I said, I have small hands!

it is a nice grip; walnut with a very comfortable stippled finish and finger grooves (which are rather small).
Jewell Trigger Assembly AR-15 Small Pin .154" Two Stage Matte
can adjust from 1 to 7 lb pull
$200+-
Timney Trigger AR-15 Small Pin .154" 3 lb Single Stage Solid
I had the Jewell, a buddy of mine has the Timney, I like mine better, but they're both good.

That's sweet set up you've got there.
I perfer a single stage trigger on a preadtor rifle. It has no take up or press stage, just a break stage.
Thats my own terminology.
The Chip mccormic "flat" trigger unit Is one of the best I have ever used.
It is a single stage trigger, Mine breaks nice and clean.
It comes in handy to have a single stage trigger when you are shooting at running things far away.
A two stage trigger is better when shooting at paper or at tiny targets IMHO.
