Hey all.  I'm waiting for my stripped lower and wondering which lpk is out there with a quality trigger.  I'd like to stay under $200.  I know it's too little for a serious trigger.  My build is intended to be general defense and hunter.  I plan 5.56 and 6.8 uppers.  The lower is the zombie sold by Rainier Arms- I couldn't resist the Selector switch modes: Safe, Dead and Undead.

After this, I'll be asking about which stock.

Thanks,
john

Good site by the way.

Are you looking for a good standard mil-spec trigger or something like a tactical two stage trigger?

I don't know much about the difference.  I don't know what a two stage feels like.  I know that I'd rather not have a touchy trigger though.

Is it better to buy the JP enterprises lpk without trigger group and find a quality trigger?

Exactly what I was getting at.

I have used many different LPKs and Stag/CMT LPKs have always had the best out of the box triggers....<><....:)

IME, with a few DPMS and Stag LPKs, the triggers are all about the same.  A bit of moly grease on the engagement surfaces and a few hundred rounds will help them smooth out, but they'll still be pretty heavy.

I'd recommend saving your money and dropping a Geissele SSA in there.

A two stage trigger feels somewhat like a Glock trigger.  On a quality two stage like a Geissele, the second stage break is much crisper than a Glock though.  You have the first stage which is a bit of smooth, relatively light travel.  On the SSA, you'll feel a "stop" when you get to the second stage.  A bit more pressure and the trigger breaks.  

A single stage trigger is more like a 1911 trigger; there's little to no movement before the trigger breaks.

I'm an absolute newb so take everything I say with a grain of salt.  I have read good things about the rock river arms 2 stage trigger; I also am building an Ar––bought my lower at a gunshow yesterday.  This is what I got for it... An EXCELLENT deal IMHO http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/AR0120NM_RRA_Receiver_Parts_Kit_Two_Stage_Trigger_p/rra-ar0120nm.htm
good luck with your build

+1 for the SSA and Palmetto state lpk's. You can get a an SSA-E (SSA ehanced -crisper break) with a magpul moe grip and lower parts for $230. Not much more than $200 really. That's a spankin' deal compared to buying it all separate. Even if you don't go with a Geissele trigger, at least check out palmetto's lkps-best deals in the market IMO.
