| Which drop in trigger is the most durable and will hold up the longest? Timney, Giessele, JP, or CMC and why. |

You forgot one choice: GI Trigger with Bill Springfield trigger job. Simplicity and durability of the stock GI trigger combined with a crisp 3 or 4 pound pull and no creep. Not to mention that it's most likely the cheapest option as well. I had my trigger worked over and it's hard to believe it's the same trigger parts. www.triggerwork.net/arparts.html |
Same here. Just put one in my 6920 and it is SWEET!!! |

I have the JP in one of mine and love it, but like MMcfpd said about the Timney is also true for the JP. It has adjustment screws to set how you want your trigger. Durability shouldn't really be effected by it, but JP does say to locktite the adjustment screws, so possibly some creep could work its way in if you dont. I did end up replacing the yellow hammer spring with a standard hammer spring because I was getting a few light hits on xm193 (about 1/10. second time through would usually fire fine). Also, originally, I didn't use the included pins that have c-clips on them and later had an issue where the hammer pin would work its way out. (spring and pin both got replaced at the same time) I was really wanting a Giessele, but I wasn't willing to wait the time it would take at the time to get it in. I was seriously considering the Timney, but at the time they were having some issues with failures, so I decided I would just avoid them. I put a RR trigger in my other AR and when I'm in a better place financially, I do plan to put a match trigger in it instead. Maybe I could go through and polish it up a little more and all that, but I still feel it wont be nearly as nice as a higher end trigger. I do think I'll go with a Giessele this time though, since I'll still have a functioning rifle while I wait. |
| You forgot STOCK. I like the crappy for precision shooting but good for combat stock trigger pull. 7 years in the Infantry and I am used to the stock trigger and it helps prevent AD's which is nice when the FNG clowns next to you during the live fire like to trip on EVERYTHING! |
Thats what i have now which is why i am considering a new trigger in the first place 
|
How long did it take for them to arrive at your house after you ordered them. I have been hearing it takes 4 to 5 months, is this correct?? |
Yup. |
| I've been using a Giessele in my 3 gun rifle for around 3 years. It's one of the first ones that came out before they had options. It's held up just fine with all the rounds I put through it. My backup rifle has a Timney. While I haven't put as many rounds through it, it's a fine trigger if you want a single stage. |
