    I got the trigger in today.
    Tools need for install are brass hammer, punches need to remove old FCG. I didn't have a trigger assembly in so I just pushed my pins in.
    They will send you everything you need. New pins to install the hammer and trigger assembly.
    It pretty straight forward take out old group install the trigger assembly and hammer like you would do with the old one. Now the rod and spring took me a minute to install, line up the 2 shaft on the hammer assembly with the springs on and slide the pivot on. Use a punch to push down on the pivot and springs onto the shaft, while push downslide it into place.

    Dried fired it with the upper off to insure everything worked properly. Add the upper and dried fired.

    Once you place your finger and squeeze it will fire. Total movement of the trigger to release the hammer was nil. It is an instant release. I would recommend this FCG as of right now. Next stop. To the range on a federal installation so I can really have fun with it. Like I said before my buddy has 1 in his three gun and that what made my mind up to get one.

    Pics attached, the pic here shows improper install of shafts

    Thumbs up

    I have a 24C on my "SPR" build. After trying a Geiselle SD-E, I decided to give the Hiperfire a try. I'm very glad that I did. Using the silver springs nets around a~2lb trigger pull with an incredibly crisp break and very short reset. I haven't had any issues to date and I don't expect to have any. For those that have not actually used or seen one in person this is a very robust trigger design.

    My initial impressions are positive, it is a nice single stage trigger. No take up, very crisp break and positive distinct reset. It is a very nice trigger actually, like what you would find on a nice bolt gun. I don't have a lot of rounds, <300 so far but no issues. I plan on keep running it to get more experience. Now, even with the 4 lb springs it is a light trigger, not sure if I would like it for duty use. I used to be a single stage is the way guy but after shooting Geisseles I have come to appreciate a quality 2 stage trigger for general duty.patrol use.

    The Hiperfire triggers have a very strong following and reputation in the 3 gun market and for precision/DMR rigs it might be something to take a strong look at if you are wanting a high quality single stage. I plan on doing more testing to confirm weights etc but for now I want to keep putting rounds through it. The toggle springs are an impressive design no doubt but I am still undecided if adding parts to a simple fire control group is worth it or not.

    Thanks Dave, I look forward to your continued reports. My use case in deciding between 2 stage geiselles or single stage hyperfires, is in a precision/DMR role. My current line of thinking tends towards the safety margin of 2 stage takeup, but if you feel that the lack of takeup isn't a deal breaker, I'll keep these in consideration.

    That would be up to you. I have a similar thought of the take-up for a duty rifle, or the standard FCG with a heavier weight. I have ran after market single stage triggers on duty rifles before with out issue but I have to say the Geisselle's grew on me quick. The Hiperfire is a very nice single stage trigger, but you have to know that there is no "wall" so to speak. When you touch the trigger, its at the breaking point, meet the weight and trigger will break with very little noticeable creep and movement. It's really very similar to a really nice trigger in a bolt gun, it really does break like the glass rod as many say. I defiantly feel the 2 pound springs is way to light for anything but a dedicated comp or varmint gun, with the 4 lb springs in its something to consider. I am still on the fence for duty purposes, those who test fired it were surprised at the lack of take up. I'll plan to keep running it and will update.

    I'm getting the 24C today and will starting running it on local rifle matches and eventually 3Gun. I have a SD3G trigger and was looking for a trigger that has less or no pre travel and positive reset.

Durability hasn't been an issue on mine, but I'll cycle and dry fire/ live fire it a few thousand more times before I can say much on that.

    I'm not sure I would personally use one for duty use, but I tend to prefer a clean and slightly heavy trigger pull over the light pull favored by many. I was given another Hiperfire trigger by a buddy to try aside from the super light straight trigger (which I do like). Once I install that, I'll be able to give my thoughts there as well.
    Thanks Stick, I'm looking forward to comparing notes.

    I have one in my trusty 2004 vintage LMT, just shot it last weekend and I like it so far. We have quite a few triggers, mainly purchased for testing to ensure compatibility with our selectors.

    I met Terry at John's (of Rainier Arms) party at SHOT, I was aware of his triggers because Terry's company and Battle Arms Dev. are both clients of Defense Marketing Group, and the folks in the DMG circle tend to work together. After chatting with him and his fans at the party, I made a note to reach out to him to get some samples.

    The 24E arrived just in time for us to test a new selector center (the idea has been discarded since, it would have been incompatible with many after market triggers). This trigger came with the most comprehensive instruction manuals I've seen. As liability conscious and by the book people, we're suitably impressed. Terry is an engineer by trade, so this really shouldn't have surprised us.

    I still need to test the various springs, so far this trigger is as good as Terry's fans claim, sans gimmicks and novelty fads , and we will be reaching out to him to become a dealer, and offer it as an option for our receivers.

    Very interested in getting one of these. How have they held up to use and abuse so far for those that have one?
