TRIGGER RECOMMENDATIONS

[Auto-X Fil]

That's interesting on the RRA failures. A bad batch of triggers sounds like a likely story. I function-tested mine carefully at install, to ensure there was sufficient margin. They seemed solid. Admittedly, these are toy guns, and the only build that was for me personally has seen 1-1.5k rounds in the last five years (I don't keep a notebook on toys, but I do know how many 69gr SMKs I bought for it.)

Regarding the stoned triggers - they were parts-bin matched and lightly polished. I've heard nothing but good things about them, and my experience has been great.

.OP, I hope you have a better experience with that trigger, and as long as you are happy with it, that is all that matters. But I personally will never put a RRA 2-stage in any rifle I own ever again.

Same. I've had issues over the years with their triggers going to shit after a few thousand rounds, their heat treat sucks IMO. I've put 10k through a Geissele S3G and it feels the same today as it did when I bought it.

After years of trying all different kinds of triggers I finally gave Geissele a try.
All I can say is every AR platform I own now has a Geissele trigger.

My two favorites are the SDE and the SD-3G.

There really is no such thing as a toy gun. There is no reason not to spend the money on a G-trigger.

Absolutely.

People will spend insane amounts of money then cheap out by installing a piece of shit Rock River trigger.

My pick is Geissele G2S-E from Brownells.

Supposed to be comparable to a SSA-E, but for a little less than a SSA I believe. (~$190)

RRA seems to have many good reviews, I think it may have been a bad batch or two that gave it a bad reputation.
Sounds like you got a deal on one, not much risk for a precision build, hope it works out!

I've never heard of a bad batch lasting for years. The issues with the RRA triggers have been reported continuously since at least 2010.

Thanks for clearing that up! Guess some don't have a high enough round count to really know.

On a related note, I really liked the KNS oversize pins, until I noticed Mr. Geissele mention in a video he didn't like aftermarket oversize pins because of size and lack of heat treatment, I then noticed my KNS anti-rotate trigger pin had slight wear from the disconnector, with a geissele G2S that had only been dry fired, maybe 500 times. The disconnector was starting to leave a groove with sharply defined edges. It wasn't anything you could really feel at that point, but it was definately starting to wear.

Just a heads up… I received an email from Geissele that they will be having a black Friday sale on some of their triggers.
Something to look at if you're still in the market for a new trigger.

Thanks for the heads up. I bought my first Geiselle (SSA-E) a few months back and have been wanting a couple more.

Trigger is one thing you dont go cheap on. If i was you i save up a little and buy a quality trigger like a Geissele or something comparable. One thing i cant stand is a rifle with a crappy trigger. But remember you usually get what you pay for.
