    The trigger is servicable in that if you pull it the gun will fire and will do so indefinitely.

    My 6920 trigger was a horrendously gritty 7.5 to 8# . Absolutely f-ing hated it and it was the first thing to go. It was the worse stock trigger I ever felt in any firearm, but I grew up around mostly competition grade firearms.

    Some people will tell you to deal with it. It all depends on what you are used to and what you expect. I'm a trigger snob and accuracy junky...but (not to be obnoxious) I also shoot well above average...with any trigger.

    It won't make you shoot better if you suck, But the gun will probably be more enjoyable if you change it.

    As others said, get a G trigger and stay above 5#s. They are the only option IMO.

    Trigger nightmares are not brand specific.. I'm sure we all know. You should have felt this DD trigger that Pappabear got in an LPK or whatever....

    It felt like you'd dropped the gun into a sand pit and it was working the grains out of the engagement surfaces. It was funny as hell. He fired it a couple times, then went right to the Ipad to order a Geissele.

    I hear you, the stock trigger on my M&P 45 was pretty bad but lacked the gritty-sponginess of the Colt. As suggested earlier, greasing it up helped but only lasted about 100 rounds for me.

    I went with the SD-E but it is a bit too light for me to make a general recommendation without knowing the person. I will go with the SSA on my next build; hopefully a happy birthday to me suppressed SBR

    Congrats on your 18000th post BTW

    That does seem to be an abberation. My 6920 and other ARs were single-stage and heavy before being given Geissele triggers, but they were clean-breaking. It might be worthwhile to have yours looked over by a gunsmith to see if anything is wrong.

    The rist there is that if he takes it to a Jethro, the guy might try to "work" on the engagement surfaces.

    I wouldn't waste time messing with a stock trigger.

    Since I have to use a crutch to shoot a handgun, my 1911 triggers are quite nice.

    I like my carbine triggers to be a little better.

    SSA-E for me.

    Life is short and there's no reason to suffer with a crappy trigger in the USA.

    You don't hear much BS "crutch" talk since the yellow hat guy left. That's good because it is total BS. You can shoot well or you can't. Unfortunately most people, even those who spend a lot of time shooting guns, can't.

    A good trigger may make you suck 5% less but if you are a solid shooter a good trigger is like having power steering in a car.

    With the various offering from Geissele and their affordable ALG line, there is no reason to mess with a crappy stock trigger.
