B-GC BROWNELLS/GEISSELE COMPETITION 1-STAGE TRIGGER FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

B-GC (Brownells / Geissele Competition)

Don't Spend a Fortune!

Available ONLY at Brownells

Geissele and Brownells have teamed up to offer two unique triggers that give you the best performance at the best price! As one of the oldest and largest distributors of Geissele products, we had the unique opportunity to sit down with them to spec out two AR-15 triggers that wring out every bit of the performance Geissele is famous for. We also wanted to deliver them at a price point that won't make Geissele fans wait until a Black Friday sale to upgrade their current trigger!

We found ways to reduce production costs on things that don't sacrifice the legendary Geissele trigger performance. So these triggers are not laser-engraved (which you can't see anyway when they're in the gun), and they're batch-tested rather than individually inspected. Rest assured, if for ANY reason you’re not satisfied with your Brownells-exclusive Geissele trigger, it's still Guaranteed. Forever.^® Simply return it to us for refund or exchange if it doesn’t meet your expectations.

Remember: you can't get these triggers anywhere else. They are available EXCLUSIVELY from Brownells!

The B-GC Geissele Competition Trigger was developed to produce a short, relatively light single-stage pull and a short, quick reset that are ideal for 3 Gun competition and recreational target shooting. Two trigger springs are included so the B-GC can be set up with a 3.2 lb. or 4 lb. pull. Note: The B-GC trigger is not recommended for benchrest shooting or shooting that requires small groups. It is designed for competition involving rapid target engagement.

Reviews Summary

The B-GC Brownells/Geissele Competition 1-Stage Trigger for AR-15 is praised for its smooth and quick release, especially suitable for rapid fire and competition shooting. However, some users report issues with installation difficulty, light strikes, and inconsistency in pull weight. Overall, it’s seen as a fantastic upgrade for semi-automatic shooting but might require additional effort for optimal performance.

Light Strikes

I get light strikes with this competition trigger. Did not have any problems with the original MILSPEC trigger. Looks like I need a stronger hammer spring? I think I was using Federal brand 5.56 ammo. I hesitate to recommend this trigger with light strikes, but I will say it is awesome for timed fire competition (i.e. rounds on target quickly).

Just ok.

There are no spots that you can feel any hangups, but you can feel the creep. It shouldn't be. They should be so smooth you don't know when it is going to break. I can tell when it is going to break. I was hoping for better. I think that this is why these are discounted for about half the price as one would normally pay for same elsewhere. Also, these are cast metal, not the normal tool steel that Geissele normally uses. Just my two cents worth.

Not like the original

Seems made out of softer metal, you could note that installing the pins. Does not have the crisp break, just kind of slides off. Not saying it’s bad, but it’s definitely not original quality. When they say they found a way to make them cheaper, yes they did and it shows. You get what you pay for….I should have shelled out the extra $100 for the original.

Love/Hate

I love and hate this trigger. First, it functions well, is crisp, and very shootable. However, I feel like you need to be the Incredible Hulk just to install it. I have installed several triggers to include other Geissele triggers and none of them have been as challenging as this one. Glad that once it is in, you shouldn't ever need to remove/reinstall it.

Trigger placement

I havent fired this trigger as of yet. But as I assembled the trigger, I was amazed of how HARD it was to process the parts together. Ive been assembling firearms for over 30yrs. Trained with ppl from NAVY Seals, Rangers, etc. When I purchased the trigger, maybe I didnt read the writing correctly, but it seamed to say it was easier to place the trigger in the firearm. Or Im just getting older...Lol...Brownells has been a great company. But this trigger assembly was a hard one. Just be strong and have a lot of patience.

Geissele Rapid Fire Trigger

Just OK. Does not reset trigger with CMMG ramped bolt in dedicated colt pattern 9mm AR lower PCC. Preforms only slightly better than polished milspec triggers I have in AR's with 5.56 bolts. Keeping it in 300 BO AR pistol but probably would not purchase again.
