    DD Triggers

    I've used DD parts in builds in the past, but never owned a DD rifle or lower per se....

    The only AR's I have with the factory trigger are 2 RRA's with the 2-stage trigger. My others have JP or Geissele's in them. I've got a Colt 6920, and am about to put a Timney 3lb in it....

    So, my question....what kind of trigger experience should I expect if I buy a Daniels Defense M4V7, which is the one I'm looking at?

    I know I'll end up changing out the A2 pistol grip and MOE buttstock, but will I be happy with the stock trigger?

    Thanks!

    The DDM4v7 I considered buying had a so-so mil-spec trigger.

    If you spend much time around the guys who really, really know their craft, and who truly live this stuff, you tend to find that they are very soft-spoken and modest -- almost to the extreme. To my mind, that is a model worthy of emulation

    DD Triggers

    DD rifles have a top notch GI trigger. The real question is if a GI trigger meets your needs, because even a top notch one, by design, can be heavy and gritty. You'll probably hate it in comparison to your RRA factory triggers but then those have been known to fail with pretty low round counts so it's all give/take.

    If you're accustomed to a 2-stage and the GI doesn't float your boat, throw a Geissele in like your others and have both a fantastic AND reliable trigger.

    I had a Colt 6920. I currently have a DD M4A1 with a standard trigger that is MUCH better than the Colt ever was. I also have an LMT MWS with a Geissele SSA-E that is much better than the DD. For what I will use the DD for (short range (110-120 yards max) tac rifle competition) I'm going to stick with the factory trigger. It doesn't compare to the Geissele, but it is night and day ahead of the Colt.

    I had a DD with a stock trigger. It was OK. Although most of the rifles I've been running have had at least ALG triggers in them.

    I already had a Geissele SSA on hand, so it didn't last long.

    Its a GI spec trigger, I've seen some close to 5#, others are up in the 8-9# range. If you are worried about it throw a Geissele in it and don't look back.

    You could grease it and dry fire it a lot or pick up one of the ALG triggers to replace it.
