New drop in trigger or get a trigger job??

[autogateman]

I have hated the trigger on my DPMS since the day I got it, and am ready to get it fixed. Do yall prefer a drop in or just drop it off to a gunsmith and let him work his magic on it?? Also who around south la would you recommend?

Thanks guys,
Rod

Drop in trigger.. Wilson, Timney, Gissele.. Look at those.. No gunsmith needed..

I like the drop in triggers because they are very simple to install. It depends on how much you want to spend and what you are doing with it. I have a Geiselle SSA-e in my DPMS AR-10 and mostly target shoot out to 600 yds and deer hunt with it. Most will tell you the SSA-e is too light for duty work being that it's at about a 3.5 break. The Geiselle's are around the $180-$250 range while you could get a Rock River Arms or a JP enterprise trigger for around $120, all without needing a gunsmith for installation. The Geiselle is top notch but that's just my $.02

Just get a drop in.

Unless you want to send your trigger to Bill Springfield.

I would just do the drop in though, they are very easy to change. You'll have to decide what trigger for yourself though. I dont really care for 2 stage triggers, I like single stage with a crisp break. For that I like Timney triggers.

If you wanna spend the money, Geissele. If you're on a budget or prefer a mil-spec style single stage, ALG ACT is a great upgrade for the money.

Are any of these drop in for the DPMS lr308 as well?? Like the JP

I like my RRA LPK triggers but I don't think the work in this .308 lower.

The JP drops in the 308, you need to use the tactical spring set which puts the pull at around 4 lbs

Where does one get the tactical spring kit?

From JP

Oh ok. Dang. Higher then the geiselle.
They have the JP on the DPMS website for $119.95 but I don't know anything about that one. Just saw it a minute ago.

You can get a terrific single stage trigger from ALG Defense.
They make a model called ACT (Advanced Combat Trigger). It is superb.
I have it in my rifle (Windham Weaponry HBR). The owner of ALG is the wife of the owner of Gieselle Triggers and the finish work is done by his workers.

Cost was 65.00 through Brownells. Took me 5 minutes to install.
Basically all the parts are MILSPEC but with a special coating for slickness and the engagement areas are highly polished.

Pull is 6 pounds, but feels less. Mine still has just a bit of creep, but it is very predictable and not gritty like before.

I just put a JP trigger in mine. Its the best thing I have done to my AR. Its not a drop in, but its not a hard install. The pull is around 3lbs

The problem with the adjustable JP is its a bitch to do. Better off sending it to JP or getting someone who knows what their doing to install it

I installed one in one of ny rifles also its not that hard, but, if JP does the install IT will be better

This, I got one in a lower parts kit from white oak and it feels great.

What exactly are you looking for in a new trigger? a lighter pull?
If you don't mind spending some extra money, Geiselle makes high quality products. I use the Geiselle SSA-E and love it. My AR came with a single stage stock trigger with approx. 8lb pull. I wanted something lighter on the pull, but did not want a full blown match trigger...That's why I choose the SSA-E 2 stage.. first stage 3.5lb...second stage approx. 1lb break.

He talks about the different triggers they offer at approx. 12:00 in. SSA-E is at 19:00.

I have very little experience in gunsmithing (very very little). I am slightly mechanically inclined and it was of no issue. Just following instructions they provide makes it fairly easy.

Dave,
The trigger I mentioned above, is super easy. All you need to do is push out the pins, and put the new parts in.
There are some YouTube videos showing it done. You don't need to remove the safety either. Even though the pull is 6 pounds, it's an amazing difference

Like I said, I feel this is a terrific trigger and I'd even hunt with it- its such a smooth pull now. If you are using your AR as a target rifle or serious match shooting, you can always drop a set of JB springs and you'll get a lower pull to about 4 pounds.. but you may have issues once in a while with military hard primers.

I mainly want something with less creep and a lighter pull. It doesn't have to be a super high dollar one, just better than what I have.
