I have a three Lb. unit in my Mk.12 clone.

Just follow the instructions when you install, and re-tighten the locking screws after the first shooting session.

Yea, really simple to install and they are nice smooth triggers, have them on two different rigs.

Might ad mine are 4lbs.

I've got the three lb. trigger on one of my AR's and I like it...

If you ever decided to shoot for a match, the rifle has to have no less than 4.5 lbs of trigger pull for a service rifle.

I have the 3 lb on my varmiter and it shoots 3/8 MOA no problem. I like the skeletonized version ( just for fun) and plan on putting a 4 lb on my carbine soon. Great product.

You want the the 3 pound pull Timney

The BEST single stage trigger is JP's. Altho you would have to custom-fit (tune it yourself) or send your lower to JP for them to install.

I would consider Timney.... 2nd best.... timney is so much easier to install tho...

got a 4lb one in my beowulf and its just awesome. was a bit hesitant at first because of the cost but once i had it in and got to try it out i was totally pleased.

4lb 2 stage SSA! or Geissele Match trigger for groups. If you're really shooting for groups, get a 20" bull though honestly.

If you shoot NRA service rifle matches, the rule states that the trigger pull should not be less than 4.5 lbs. Just a rule. If you shoot other than service rifle, it doesn't matter.

I have both the Timney 4lb and the 3lb.
The 3lb is by far the better setup for plinking or semi serious target shooting.
(Better than the Gissele IMHO.)

And like the other fella said. DO RE-TIGHTEN THE SET SCREWES AFTER THE FIRST OUTING.

The newer Timney triggers come with a second set of set screws to tighten down ON TOP of the hold down screws. Thus the holding screws that jamd the trigger housing against the pins WON'T come loose. No need for locktite.

The earlier versions don't have this second setscrew feature.

There is also a smal pin version as well as a large pin version.

Hope that helps. If you live in SoCal. You can come by and try mine.

I have one of the older 3lb trigger that like to go FA, I just need to send it back in to have it fixed.

The trigger really isnt going FA, its bump firing but with it being so light it happens to anyone who shots the rifle and doesnt have a death grip on the pistol grip.

Im just too lazy to send it back but it works well on my WOA SPR deal I built.

i had one of the 3lb., skelletonized ones. it's a beautiful trigger with an excellent crisp pull. i got rid of it because i didn't like the feel of the actual trigger itself. the skelletonized trigger is real blocky and has sharp edges. i'm not sure if the non-skelletonized triggers have that same profile or not, you might want to look at those. just a little something to think about.

i went back to my standard USGI trigger and haven't looked back.

As a cheaper but very nice alternative. Simply buy a factory trigger already tweaked by John Hollinger at White Oak Armament.
John is a world class shooter that builds amazingly accurate AR15s. Google his website. (above)
Then buy a trigger from him. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
This saves ya bucks as this combination is cheaper than a Timney by about a hundred bucks.
I still love my Timneys. But I would NEVER use a Timney in a combat situation. Target or plinking only.

Conversely. I WOULD use one of Johns triggers in a combat rig. In this sense you get close to the best for both worlds. (combat & target)

That's something to think about as well.
