ADCO makes an "improved" version of the RRA NM Trigger: http://www.adcofirearms.com/itemdeta...orynumber=1738
I have about 100 rounds through my Wilson single-stage TTU. Stupidly easy to install, crisp, and operating perfectly so far.
On a duty or close up combat style rifle I prefer a good standard single stage stock type trigger. I like Colt or Armalite for stock triggers.
For myself, I only find a benefit for a non-stock trigger set up when I am going for precision on a scoped rifle and for the most part only on distances past say 500 yards or more. I am not a benchrest shooter and if I was, this weapon platform wouldn't be my choice either. :)
Personally I will spend my money elsewhere on a battle type, up close rifle. But I do not fault anyone for whatever they wish to spend their money on. I just don't really care for those who often suggest that they are sliced bread and that you should run out and get one. IMO learning how to manipulate a trigger properly is of more importance. I will also say that my precision SPR type rifles wear aftermarket triggers. I will also add that I do my own trigger work on some of my weapons, but not a duty weapon.
In any event, this is not an uncommon topic and I discussed it recently, so me being me, I shot a video running my SSA head to head with a stock Colt trigger. I am pretty much only limited by my own dexterity and how fast I can run any trigger. Ironically I actually ran a stock Colt trigger (several thousands of rounds) faster than my SSA which has a lower round count but still in the thousands. Again I gain no benefit from my SSA over a stock trigger even as distance increases on a non-magnified optic all the way out to 450 yards.
Here is my little non-scientific test. This is my only non-magnified up close rifle that has a non-single stage stock type trigger.
100% stock Colt trigger (several thousand rounds) vs Geissele SSA trigger (a few thousand rounds).
I completely understand why you say this, but in my case, I have an LWRC that dates back to the Leitner-Wise days. I cannot say if it is universally true for M6A2s of that time, but my trigger was horrid: gritty, some odd-take up, and unpredictable on break. I figured that while I was replacing it, may as well get something good!
The Wilson is identical shot to shot, no grit at all, but still appropriate in weight of pull for a battle rifle.
Surf, I'm interested in seeing the results of your video test but the 10+ minute runtime and the opening commentary are a little off-putting. Do you have a shorter vid that just shows the test, or can you tell us at what time mark the shooting happens and/or where the revelation occurs?
Surf,
Thanks for your video. I can't imagine being able to manipulate the trugeer that fast but maybe one day. I would think the SSA would be slower just because there is a longer OA pull, especially if you're used to shooting a single stage. It would be neat to see you shoot 10 10-round runs and see if your time gets better with the SSA.
I have two SSA's that I've got about 1500 rounds on one and 500 rounds on the other. I've only shot my SSA equipped rifles the past 7-8 months but a friend asked me to shoot his new M&P 15 the other day with it's S&W stock trigger. I thought it was terrible. It just creeped and crept and felt gritty.
He wanted to get an AR as cheap as he could and I suggested nothing less than the S&W. After I shot it I felt bad because of the trigger but told him to get 500-600 rounds through it and if it doesn't get better, we'll take a look at it.
I guess it is what you get used to. I love my SSA's and have no desire for a lighter or crisper trigger. They both dropped in without a problem. The rifle that I have 1500 rounds on the SSA has not been cleaned (just lubed) in 1400 rounds. The SSA is very dirty but it has not bobbled and has been very consistent.
From what I have experienced, I think the SSA is the happy medium from a stock "coarse" trigger and a match grade trigger.

Guys,
Here is a link to a more "up to date" page for our TTU. We have been revising quite a bit on our website, and that old page is still there, but this will give you a bit more info and current pics...http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Tactical...ctinfo/TR-TTU/
