Been playing around with an AR that my wife got me for my birthday (5.56/.223, my first AR), it's accurate but the factory trigger is rough and breaks around 8# so I think I can do much better with a decent trigger. Can anyone suggest a better trigger, maybe something like 3-4# pull single stage? Timney, Geissele, or ???

Texas made - CMC 3.5# SS for $140 and I have been very pleased with mine!

CMC , support Texas. Awesome triggers.

I like my CMC triggers. Primary Arms puts them on sale pretty often. Easy to install. YouTube has good how to videos.

I have a few LaRue MBT-2S and like them a lot. They are around $90 IIRC.

Also Texas made. Best trigger for the money on the market. You can pay more but why would you?

Because you can get it quicker than 3 months

Fool and their money are quickly parted. Plan better next time.

Another for CMC...I like the 2.5lb and straight shoe though. Also, most of them will meter less than 2lb.

LaRue makes great products, I don't put them at the top of the list due to the behavior and superiority complex the bedside manner shows from the owner. I put them in the same category with Q...little too much arrogance for me but you won't see me talking negative about their goods...both are as good as anyone makes.

Agree 100 freaking percent...fo sho!

LaRue.

x3 on the CMC..

2.5lb flat trigger on my AR... Nicest trigger I own!!

CMC 3# straight

hiperfire Hipertouch 24 Elite trigger

For the money larue

I have 3 from Patriot Ordnance (best, most durable I've found for 9mm guns-they can be hard on triggers)

I have 3 from Rock River - Varmint

I have 2 from Rise Armament (RA140)

I have 7 from LaRue (MB2S)

LaRue is where I start these days... Never met the folks behind any of them.

Surprised I didn't see any comments about the triggers from Wilson Combat. I have a few and couldn't be happier.

Super expensive!

Thanks for all the suggestions...., looks like CMC and LaRue are the favorites around here. Will see about ordering one. Any preference as to single vs 2 stage?

I've had both and I tend to gravitate toward the single stage...but it's personal preference.

Single stage

This!!

Single

I have 2 stage geissele triggers on all my ARs. Never liked CMC. Tried several and they aren't for me. Maybe that's because I already had geissele's, but I'm not sure. Yes, CMC is an upgrade, but I'd rather spend a little more and get the geissele, especially when they are on sale. Night and day difference for me.
