Choosing an AR-15 Aftermarket Trigger

[Terry N.]

One thing that I think we can all agree on is that factory AR triggers tend to be rough, gritty, and heavy - hardly conducive to precision shooting. The problem is, there are so many different aftermarket triggers available, how do you choose one?

I stumbled across this article a week or so ago, and thought I would share it. It doesn't cover ALL AR triggers, but it does cover most of the popular ones. I didn't write it, but it does make the selection of the 'best' trigger for your needs a bit simpler:

Good artice. I have the RRA 2stage match trigger in mine. Best addon to an AR in my opinion.

Geissele FCG's are most excellent. They even have variants approved for front line use by the USMC. I've used several, including the SSA, SSF, and the several adjustable styles.

thats a terrific article , think ill try one of those in my DPMS 20" that ive been wanting to clean up ,

when i built up my DPMS LR308 i used a JP trigger [i know one of those tiny little machineists thats refered to] and i had a little help getting things adjusted , i have been most pleased with the performance , i went on local recomendation and useing a local source was apealing but most of all i didnt have the benefit of this fine article
