| Anyone have any opinions about the Timney single stage triggers. They seem to run around $200. I know they are good trigger in a sporter, what about an AR. |
|
Quoted: Timney is good to go. I have the 3lb in my 308 AR and it is sweet. I also got kns anti rotate/walk pins free with mine. It is very solid. Unfortunately I get light strikes that fail to ignite some surplus ammo because I have the AR15 trigger in my AR10. YMMV I've have yet to have a light strike in my .308 even on DAG primers. Which surplus were you having trouble with? |

Which surplus were you having trouble with? Interesting that you mention DAG  I had 3 out of 40 that had to be restruck to go boom.
I have some Tula I am going to try next time. I have never had a problem with anything else. |

Buy w/confidence - excellent triggers...I have 2 solids and 1 skeletonized all 3lb versions. BTW, my Sabre Defence PMR which I purchased 2 years ago came with a Timney Solid 3lb version straight from the factory. I recently purchased a Sabre Defence SPR and they have switched to a complete JP Trigger group from the factory (not sure why they changed - perhaps, cost?)...either way - both are solid but, I honestly still prefer the Timney!

I have two in my AR's, one a 10.5 and one a 16 inch. I use KNS anti-walk pins on both, and they are fantastic triggers. I shoot both rifles suppressed and have put thousands of rounds through them without a problem.
If you will be doing heavy fire make sure to put a drop of oil on the anti-walk pins as the do not rotate and they can heat up (Timney says then in the owners manual but I think most people just ignore it). |

Quoted: If you are use to shooting a regular trigger in a bolt gun then you will love the timney.I have 2 of the skeleton style 3#,I love the single stage trigger myself. I have also owned LMT,RRA& Geissele 2 stage they are great triggers. My .02 worth of advice That advice need some elbow room or something?  |

I thought the 4#, although it would ignite everything, was too heavy a trigger squeeze for my preference and I could feel noticable creep which really annoyed me. The 3# unit was ok...but I think my JP trigger installed from the factory and tuned on a seperate lower which is on yet another gun is the nicest single stage trigger I own. Breaks around 2.5#'s without any percieved creep and has set off any round I have ever put in the gun without a problem. The AR10 Timney was replaced with a Geissele DMR unit...awesome! The other 3# Timney was replaced by a Geissele SSA-E in the precision rig AR15...awesome as well. I question Timney's quality as a hard use trigger... |

Are you a high speed, low drag baby killer? Are you a sandbag slouching, bench sitting, precision reloading old grandpa? Are you a rodent+dog+hog exterminating, varmint's worst nightmare? ... |
