AR-15 Replacement Trigger?

[Thatoneguy24]

I am looking into the POSSIBILITY of replacing the trigger on my M&P-15. Has anyone got any experience with the Rock River Two Stage Match trigger? And my second question would be, is it even worth it over the standard trigger?

[TheExiled]

Some have said iirc that the RRA two stage wears out. I have a gieselle and haven't regretted it

[Panchira!]

Look at the ALG triggers. They are not pricy but not adjustable but really nice and smooth.

I will probably only shoot maybe 1000-2000 rounds per year out of the AR, how many rounds do they wear out after?

I have both Geissele and RRA two-stage triggers and the difference between a GI trigger and a RRA is night and day with the RRA much-much better than GI. That said the difference between the RRA and a Geissele SSA trigger is just as night and day with the Geissele a huge improvement over the RRA.

The RRA doesn't wear out right away unless you try to polish it. Like a GI trigger the RRA is case hardened and any polishing exposes the soft inner material to very premature wear. From what I've read the wear on a RRA manifests itself with a sudden change from two-stage to single stage and bang when you weren't expecting one.

Here's a comparison of popular triggers. Note that the Geissele DMR trigger tested is adjustable while the more affordable SSA is not. I own both Geisseles and like both.

I have RRA 2 stage triggers on all my AR's. RRA is G2G!

I have rra 2 stage in most of my rifles, but I will be switching them over. I really like the geissele (sp) ssa trigger. I would like to try a timney as well.

I have 6 RRA two stage riggers along with tons of other ARs with timmney, geiselle, LMT etc triggers

I think the RRA is the best bang for your buck, one of my rra's has upwards of 10k rounds, not worn out yet

Geissele SSA 2-stage trigger was no comparison over stock!!! I did not respect and underestimated the value of a good triger before my 1911, Then I built my LR308 and now want to go back and do them on many of my arms.

I shot two diffrent AR rifles with diffrent (unknown to me but not Geissele) "stage2/3" triggers. Since I have shot two more Geissele triggers, to me they outshine the others quite a bit.

I just put an SSA in my M&P 15T. It will cut your group size in half or more over the stock trigger.

Dont overlook the SD-C either, one of my target rifles will have the SD-C and a SD-E. also I like the non adjustable platform and simple instulation.

i have a geissele ssa-e on one of my ar's and i love it compared to another trigger set up i have which is a spikes battle trigger with jp yellow springs which replaced the poly trigger from the nfa lower. i havent tried any other set up so my opinion is kinda biased

[bombadillo]

I'd get a Geissele SSA (Regular old standard one, no dash anything) or a Compass Lake Engineering 2 stage that they tune. Its an amazing trigger for the money and adjustable for weight.

If you just want a good cheap upgrade, grab an ALG QMS trigger and you'll be happy you did. They break super clean, a little creep but it is leaps and bounds better than any factory trigger I've felt that was a single stage mil-spec.

Std trigger, trigger tune is only $50 and takes 20 min while you watch and learn to pull a crisp 3lbs.

Geisseles aren't cheap, they're truly the gold standard of AR-15 triggers.
