AR15 trigger for service rifle

././

Was talking to Steve T. the other day. He said final draft done and should be up on the DIN before the end of the month.

I will be in and out of the loop for the next 8 weeks. Started DP3B (6B for the old school guys) today. :puke:.....Got to get in shape for the big run some how.....:D.

Cheers

As a military armourer, with 21 years trade experience, I can agree with both points of view. Firstly once the stock trigger is broken in, it really isnt the weight that will effect a crisp shot, but how crisp the release is. I have weighed stock triggers that break really crisp as i thought they were worn out, only to find the weights well within mil spec (and we know they like a heavy trigger!) It was because the natrul use had smoothed out tooloing marks.
Secondly just recently i had reason to try an armalite tacticle two stage (from an Ar10), it has three adjustments & works both as a target setup & a combat trigger. They are available through Wolverine Supplies

I have never really been one for a crisp release.Crisp with a C7 doesn't really exist.Instead I'll take a smooth trigger anytime.As long as its smooth and predictable where it breaks...that's what I'm after.That is what has helped me the most as far as triggers go.But to each his own.
 
Sorry for digging up such an old thread, but I got an AR15 that I wanted to consider using for Service Rifle but it has the most awful trigger I've ever pulled. Not only is it really heavy, but it's also a combination of gritty and mushy with a really hard to judge break point. Was thinking of getting a Geissele trigger to replace it. But I've noticed that some people are advocating home trigger jobs instead. Was looking for more input.
 
On an AR, a heavy trigger is not the problem. The main issues are usually roughness and excessive creep. Take those away and you've got a competitive trigger that can still lift and even swing around the regulation trigger weight with no risk of failing.
 
Many people who find their rifle is more accurate after going to a lighter trigger have poor hold of and hand position on the rifle and trigger (IMO). That is the reason for "safety on" and "hot and cold" training. A lighter trigger partially hides these problems but they remain.

I've done the Para cord trick. It did help to get a crisp let off but the weight is still high. Higher than my other AR or target rifles. Do I need to change it....no. But I want to so that it is closer to my other rifles for pull weight.

Shot my stock Norc trigger today as described above. I didn't even notice the weight. (And I shot my highest score of the year so far) This tells me that I don't need to bother with RRA after all. Better to spend the money on bullets, powder and primers :)
