I know many of you are going to jump and say "Geissele SSA!", but before you do.. know the following:
This is my first AR-15 and I am inexperienced with using two-stage triggers. I am only familiar with stock triggers from: Beretta CX-4 & 92FS (great triggers), Mossberg 500 (ok trigger), Baby Eagle .40 (I despise this trigger), and SIG .45 (good trigger).
I already own an untuned Stag Arms trigger group from the Lower Parts kit, but I have not installed any parts into my stripped lower receiver yet. I like the unnotched hammer in the kit, and I'm not sure if the SSA hammer can be used with the larger firing pins. I want my hammer to be used with the standard M16 BCG's larger firing pin.
I want the trigger group to meet the following standards as much as possible (meeting all of them might be impossible):
as durable or more durable than milspec
as reliable as possible and as safe as possible to prevent bumpfires
a smooth pull that makes me want to pull it again because it's so smooth
quick pulls for rapid-fire
Allows for slower, more precise target acquisition (for recreational range use)
I don't plan to shoot in competitions, but I would like it to be reliable enough to use in a combat environment while being pleasant to fire at the range.
The Geissele SSA sounds unmatched in these areas, but I'm afraid that I'll drop $170 and won't notice the difference from stock.
