AR 15 trigger ?
Who has changed the stock trigger in their AR ? What did you change it to and how do you like it ?

SIG M400 Original changed for Rock River National Match two stage ($120). The RR way out performs the Milspec trigger, but is actually not light with the standard spring. The RR is very crisp and predictable... which I value more than a light touchy trigger... especially in a walking gun. The stock SIG trigger was creepier than finding a weeping nun in your basement.

I don't have an AR with a stock trigger.
I have a few GS install JPs, a POF drop-in, a CMC, a few Jards and a RR NM. I like them all. The Jard is probably my favorite. They make about 30 different configurations in single and 2 stage with heavy and light hammers. |

Giselle Super V is an awesome trigger - should be on the VTAC website.

I've changed most of the triggers in my AR rifles. Various type/brands including Rock River Match, JP, and ?? can"t remember. Just installed one of the AGLmilspec that is an improvement over stock on my full time carry winter carbine. Liked it and ordered another.

Six RRA NM two stage triggers here. They are on all of my AR's except for the one set up for HD. That has a stock mil spec trigger that is very very smooth from LOTS of shooting.

Is there a way to lighten the 2nd stage pull on the RR NM 2 stage ? Can you put lighter springs in it ?

If you're using the rifle in a competition then the RRA NM is pretty good, though folks have reported that they do degrade pretty fast. I had one lose it's first stage after about three years.
I just swapped a different RRA NM trigger for an ALG ACT trigger with the JP spring kit. For a cheap-ish trigger, it is really nice. I understand that the ALG QMS trigger is even better. You simply can't beat the price and you get mil spec durability. |

I've used JP and Jewell. Jewell is the best trigger I have ever used in any rifle.

Nothing that I have tried compares to a Geissele. http://geissele.com/ Of course, I don't think anything costs as much either. For competition, you can use any advantage you can get, so buy the best. For blasting, who cares, just pick something that feels good.

paired with a set of JP Enterprises Yellow or Red( If you get light strikes with the yellow springs) Springs are pretty nice and a safe way to get a decent trigger on an AR-15

You will have people tell you the the Geissele is the best (it is not) or the Jewell is the best (it is not either) or the JP is best (still not). You have to try them to find what is best for you and your purposes. Triggers, like stocks and comps, have a large measure of perception and preference. Anyone who insists that what is really their "favorite" is the absolute best will lie to you about other tihngs too.

I've got a number of the RRA NM 2-Stages, and one of the CMMG 2-Stage triggers. I like them both wholeheartedly. The CMMG has two adjustment screws, and two brass bushings that make it look complicated- I like the feel of it, and it hasn't failed or anything- I just get a weird gut feeling that the RRA's would stand up to harsher use and time. I may be full of poop, but that's the feeling I get. To be honest, I would recommend either one.

CMC. It's like breaking a small pretzel stick.

I have two, RR and CMMG. Both are pretty decent. You can lower the trigger pull rather easily in any AR simply by installing an anti-walk pin in the trigger and sliding the spring under the pin. You just have to check for light primer strikes. I did that to my RR trigger and have had no problems with it whatsoever. Lowered the pull near a pound and made a good trigger even better.

How well would it work to lighten the trigger if I just changed the trigger spring and left the original hammer spring ?

My preference is the ArmaLite two stage. The ArmaLite has additional spring interfaced with the disconnecter and is adjustable with three positions, each position changes weight about .5lbs. The ArmaLite web site has articles on tuning the two stage trigger. |

Another vote for Giessele. I haven't tried every one out there, but it works beautifully in my SPR-ish build.
