    Armalite or Daniel Defence trigger?

    I have a lightly used Armalite 1 stage trigger but i ordered a DD LPK for my new project. Im woundering what trigger i should use. The DD is new and can be sold as new. the Armalite has 500 rounds on it. I just want what ever trigger it best. and sell the other. So what is the view on the 2. Is the DD better then the Armalite? Are they the same? should i sell both and get a SSA-E (maby but not now)

    From my experience the dd lpks usually have a heavier pull than some of the other triggers out there, but I personally would try them both in your lower and see which one you prefer. As far as the ssa-e... Its a nice trigger but theres the saying "fix the shooter, then the trigger" if you feel the standard trigger is holding you back then go for it.

    There's no hard data that can describe which is "best." Nobody seems to be able or willing to describe what the specs are for the lower parts.

    But I'd stick with the Daniel Defense trigger without hesitation. Their commitment to quality materials and the appropriate manufacturing/QA/QC/assembly on their other parts leaves me with much more faith that their lower parts are good to go.

    It's a GI trigger. It won't ever be a match trigger(I'd be worried if it felt like one,) if that's what you want go buy a Geisselle. But it will smooth out(your Armalite may have already done that and feel better initially. A few range trips and a few dry fire sessions will correct that.

    ETA: Yes, go buy an SSA or SSA-E.

    I recently acquired and installed a DD lpk and I believe the trigger pull is lighter than my other gun that has a spikes NiB fcg and JP reduced power springs.

    what i ment to say is does the DD trigger stand out above the Armalite. if not ill sell it as new because it will be right out of the bag. Sounds like its just a standared trigger so i think i mite sell it.I know the Armalite is a nice trigger and the quality of Armalite is as good as it gets.

    Ive had excellent performance with Armalites standard trigger for years,and since its already used I just run it.That said I have both and can't tell any difference in overall performance of the triggers.
    One thing I do prefer overall is the Armalite bolt catch as it has a bit more material around the pad,is flat and full length serrated.

    Keep the DD kit as a spare or for future builds since its already paid for.

    I wouldn't say Armalite is "as good as it gets" though I've had one of their 2-stage triggers and it was fine. nice and smooth and was tunable for weight by moving the trigger spring into different positions. I only put a few thousand rounds on it but was always reliable and consistent in that time.

    I think the DD parts are all good to go. my only gripe with DD triggers is that they vary a bit in weight and smoothness between different examples but it has been stated that they are mil-triggers and this is to be expected.

    I bought a DD LPK and was amazed at how smooth the DD trigger it had in it.

    and then the trigger that came on my DD M4 had a trigger that broke like the last turn of the key on a sardine can...

    I agree with this. having spares is always good...

    My preference is for a standard trigger....and I actually prefer the LMT standard trigger over any Ive used.That combined with the LMT RE and SOPMOD is why I just buy complete LMT Defender lowers nowadays.Heck of a deal all things considered.


    ETA
    Interested in how these pan out as well.
