I'm looking to replace the factory trigger on my Post Ban Colt AR15. What are your opinions?

Thanks.

Chip McCormick's drop in

I agree with Abob

i've used a couple of timneys and they are good too. One note: don't go to light i've found that if you go under a 3.5# pull that the springs are so light they won't ignite military primers

The Geiselle is da bomb, but it's almost $300. I have tuned (by John Holliger, White Oak Precision) Rock Rivers in most of mine. His $30 trigger job is one of the best bargains in AR land.

As I said in the other thread, I self installed a McCormick in mine. I'd rate it as decent trigger which puts it about 10x better than the factory Bushmaster it replaced, which was one of the worst ever with a creepy 10 pound or so pull. I had to reuse the factory pins, the supplied McCormick pins were so tight that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get them out without damagaing something if I hammered them in. That might affect the trigger creep a bit. I haven't tried a Timney yet, but might on another AR before long.

BTW, if you buy a drop in unit, you don't have to pull the pistol grip to "drop it in". Simply put safety on "half cock", that is about half way between fire and safe, and it will pop out. That way you don't have to risk losing springs or pin. Putting it back in, just depress pin and it will slide over it back into place.

I've only tried 2.

The 1st one I installed was a Timney 3lb trigger. I went with it for the simple reason that it looked like an easy install. It was and the trigger is fantastic! It breaks just like a bolt gun trigger set at 3lbs with no creep or take up. This one gets two thumbs up.

The other was a Jard. It's a real piece of crap. The more I use it the less I like it. Not only is the trigger bad but the company sucks, no customer service. Avoid this company like the pleague!

I've heard a lot of good things about the Chip McCormick trigger, but I like the Timney so much that unless I get the oppertunity to try one before I buy it I'll probably just stick with the Timney when it comes time to replace the Jard.

What are you trying to accomplish? NRA Highpower? Plinking? An NFA gun? Some varmint shooting perhaps?

A lot can be accomplished with an stock AR trigger and:

A fine sharpening stone and a very light touch.

A Dremel tool and the soft fabric polishing wheel

JB's Bore paste or Flitz

and 20 minutes of time.
