AR-15 IMPACT TRIGGER Reviews & Ratings

Timney has been asked for an AR trigger at a lower price without compromising on quality for budget-build AR’s. You asked, Timney listened. Introducing the Impact - the next trigger in the People’s Choice Line of Excellence from the craftsmen and women of The World's Finest Trigger. Timney's engineers figured out a way to machine the parts from billet steel (no skimping with metal injection molding or stamped, old-school parts), assemble the triggers, and still hand-test this trigger by their trigger technicians at a price that you asked for - $149.99

The Impact will give you a crisp, clean, 3-pound break and will drop into all Mil-Spec AR’s. All components are captive in the lightweight, aluminum alloy housing. Hammer is wire-EDM machined from S7 tool steel that combines hardness to resist wear with superior impact resistance to withstand heavy use without chipping or breaking. Other components are EDM cut from A2 tool steel, then heat treated to Rc 56-60 for long service life.

The Brownells exclusive model offers you all the same features of the curved trigger shoe model, but with a unique tan anodized body.

Installs using your rifle’s original hammer/trigger pins, our proprietary design eliminates pin walkout. Available in curved or flat trigger bows.

The secret to long-range accuracy? It all starts with an amazing trigger and this trigger, is truly amazing. The new Impact trigger is Timney’s latest overnight success – 73 years in the making. Please Note: The Impact is not compatible with the AR-10®.

Potential AR trigger upgrade?

This is pretty much as advertised. Value priced drop-in replacement for stock AR15 rifles. Breaks cleanly and verified at 3.5 pounds pull, Very little over travel. Regarding installation, recommend avoid "L" type Allen wrench and use a straight hex driver. e.g. "Xcelite" micro driver or similar tool. I spent more time removing the original trigger group than installation of this Timney unit. Biggest objection is the width of the trigger compared to G.I. The Timney is 0.108 inches narrower. I've put 20 rounds down range and difference in performance improve is minor at best. Think I need more trigger time before I come to a conclusion.
