HuntHarder Report post Posted January 18, 2015 I have a Sig M400 Ar-15, that I love, but the trigger is terrible. I have tried all the methods of polishing, sanding and whatever else I can find online to make it better. It has gotten a little better, but not up to my standards. I am thinking of replacing it with a Timney 667. Does anyone have this trigger in their Ar? If so, what do you think of it? The timneys in my other rifles are great, so I expect this to be no different. Just figured I would get a few opinions before I drop 200$ on a new trigger.

DUG Report post Posted January 18, 2015 Geissele makes some of the better AR triggers. They have different style triggers to match how you shoot. All in the 2 to 300$ range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WampusCat Report post Posted January 18, 2015 +1 on the Geissele. They make some of the best triggers out there for different applications. If you like a 2-stage look at the "G2S" model. It is my favorite for price vs quality. Bought a few of them in the $165 price range. Their important surfaces are EDM finished and the springs are stout.

HuntHarder Report post Posted January 18, 2015 I am fairly new to the AR platform. I have always shot a single stage trigger, and think I would want a single stage trigger on my AR. I will only use this gun for coyotes and plinking. What is the advantage to a 2 stage trigger. I believe my stock trigger is 2 stage, and I hate the creep. Do all 2 stage triggers have the creep? hence the 2 stage. I have never heard of geissele, but after doing a little online research, they look like great triggers. Tons of options.

AverageJoe Report post Posted January 18, 2015 The timney is a great trigger as always. I have one in my ar...its a simple drop in trigger once the old one is removed. Not as crisp it seems as a normal timney for a remington but still very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WampusCat Report post Posted January 18, 2015 I wouldn't call it creep but imagine about a half pound take up before you hit the actual wall. I prefer the 2 stage for the mental prep stages it lets me go through. It may be a carry over from match shooting days but I like feeling the purchase I have on the trigger and taking up the slack. When I make contact with the "2nd stage" I can stay there and wait for the sights to settle on the target knowing any more movement rearward will release the hammer. When its time, I make the final movement. There should be zero creep after the 1 stage is taken up. Do not confuse a gritty or sloppy single stage for a 2-stage. Depending on the specific model of course but I bet your Sig 400 has a single stage. I would recommend hitting up a gun store and dry firing a few models that have a 2-stage before you commit.

HuntHarder Report post Posted January 18, 2015 I think you are right Wampuscat, it is a single stage trigger. Now that I know that, I am confident it is the worst trigger I have ever pulled. My AK has a better trigger in it. Thanks for the advice, and I will go and try a few nicer 2 stage triggers before I purchase one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted January 18, 2015 Our Marine Corps m16's had a two stage trigger in them. They were very nice triggers and very precise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxisWorks LLC Report post Posted January 19, 2015 I used to be a Timney guy until Elftmann came out. Hands down the best AR-trigger I've ever used. The 3 gun is a dream. Also an AZ company. http://elftmanntactical.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjvcon Report post Posted January 19, 2015 All I know about Timney is they make a good trigger and are great folks to deal with when it comes to customer service. Broke one that was 20+ years old in a gun that I didn't even own when the trigger was installed. Guy says "if its ours, its ours..." and handed me a new one free.

Guy says "if its ours, its ours..." and handed me a new one free. i aslo had the same experience. thats why when remington had the trigger recall i just wend ahead and replaced all of them with timney's instead of sending them back.. they are the only trigger i will buy now.

lancetkenyon Report post Posted January 20, 2015 I love Timneys, but my AR trigger is a CMC. Set at 3#, nd is a true drop in trigger unit. Easy. Works great, crisp, light, smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
