Trigger
Much better than the standard two-stage that came with the AR
Great trigger
I recently built an AR 10 in 6.5 Creedmore. I used this trigger and was very happy with the quality, ease of installation, and consistent pull. I liked it so much that I built another AR 10 in 308 and used the same trigger again. Very satisfied with it.
Crisp, not too light
I bought this for my AR10 A model after being pleased with my purchase of Timney's 4lb AR15 model. Did not disappoint one bit. Crisp with zero take up, and a clean reset that's extremely short. The pull weight is perfect in my opinion; I'm not a fan of super light triggers and this fits the bill perfectly.
Crisp - Zero Creep in a DPMS GII Lower
No more creep. Light, repeatable release and feels like winding a Swiss watch while depressing the trigger. Trigger total movement is about 1/8"! Instructions were spot on. Read them through first. One change would be to start the set screws before you drop it in. Just a turn. Too much and the pins won't go back in. After you have the assembly in position it's a bit of a chore to get them started because of the springs. Use grease in the socket to hold the screws to the wrench. I put this in a new DPMS Gen II lower. Fits like a glove. The GII lower is different than the GI (LR-308) but rest assured it fits perfectly. The hammer is bigger than the GII OEM hammer. The whole thing is a piece of art. High quality metal and finish. Worth the money.
Nothing Not To Like
My first experience with Timney triggers was one I bought for my 10/22. Total drop in, great fit, great trigger. So I got this one for my DPMS style .308 AR build and it is everything I expected. Two triggers purchased, two great feeling triggers; do I detect a pattern? Ive purchased stripped AR lowers and built them up. With the last one I purchased a Ni Boron set and that was the best AR trigger Id tried. Im mentioning this to point out that I *DO* know how to install Mil Spec triggers and know what a good one feels like. Since I wanted a rifle that would be as accurate as possible I decided to actually put some money into this trigger. I could have gone with other manufacturers but while I do know how to install the fire control group I can get a bit lazy from time to time. So I looked into drop in triggers. I wanted a trigger that was light enough to not impact my accuracy too much (Ive got enough problems as is) but was heavy enough that I wouldnt worry about safety out in the field. Timneys 4 pound trigger seems to fit the bill. I followed the directions and installation was a snap. I saw one review complaining about the pins falling out. I had to laugh as the directions said to put a piece of tape over the pins until installation was complete. Once youve tightened down the set screws to apply pressure to the pins (the last step) you can remove the tape and the pins are as tight as you could possibly want. Ive tried custom worked triggers on other guns at the range (not my guns but ones belonging to someone else) and while they might be a bit lighter I dont think that they break any crisper or have any less creep (i.e. none). Any time I want an accurate trigger that is easy to install Im going to go with Timney for sure.
Great AR upgrade.
Easy install in my Bushmaster. Crisp trigger that took the long, hard, gritty pull out of my AR 10. I will buy another one for my 5.56. Can't wait to see how it performs at the range.
Excellent!
Installed in a Ruger SR762 in minutes, per instructions. Would recommend watching You Tube related video. Went from factory 10.75 lb drag and creep to a crisp 4.0 lb trigger.
I want to rate this trigger 10 stars!
Unquestionably the best upgrade/modification to my DPMS ar-15! Accuracy much improved from stock trigger. Easy install too. There are two retaining hex screws under the end length of the hammer spring that can be tricky. After studying the trigger & install instructions I took the ends of the hammer spring partially blocking the retainer hex screws & lifted both ends crossing them to the middle over each other. This cleared the area for installing the hex retaining screws. After both hex screws were installed, the hammer spring ends were uncrossed and fell back into their original place. The 4 lbs pull was unchanged by the prying up & crossing of the spring ends. Excellent trigger! Well worth the $$
GREAT TRIGGER!!! Hard to install
I have built many AR's and have done many trigger Jobs for customers and friends, but this trigger is GOLD right out of the box. IT is very difficult to install, not impossible, but not easy by ones self. making sure the trigger pins stay seated as you tighten the two allens can be frustrating but it is well worth it in the end. My trigger feels about 3 pounds at the most.... no creep, exactly what I expect from a [$] trigger.
Wow, what a difference!
I recommend this trigger. The pull is consistent and the break is very clean. If you own a stock DPMS LR-308 with a factory trigger that takes FOREVER to break, you will not be disappointed with this purchase. I installed it myself after I watched a couple of videos as well as going to Timney's website and viewing the installation presentation. On a side note, if you are not mechanically inclined, have a friend install it who is.
