I too have been resisting the urge to put one of those in mine. The stock trigger works just fine. One of my problems is trying to figure out which one of their triggers I'd like.

Andy C,

Right you are!

I have an SSA-E in one AR and the G2S in another.

They are both outstanding triggers.

C-dub,

Which trigger you install depends up the application.

If the application is general, you can't go wrong with an SSA.

Yep, I swear that Andy is getting kickbacks with all of the "suggestions" he has for spending money. Now I have to look at new triggers!! :drool:

Agreed! That was the best mod I ever made to my 308 AR. Before that I had never changed any triggers but it made me a believer that a good trigger is the most cost effective mod you can make for accuracy

That is a bad bad evil trigger. It says "Automatics" on it. Now your gun is an evil killing machine.

Bitter Clinger,

What's to recommend them?

I see they're somewhat skeletonized, but other than their being light in weight (I guess) what's the skinny on them or versus Geissele?

Thanks!

No hard data. They were recommended by an on-line vendor that I follow, and the feature that they promote is that both the hammer and the trigger rotate on aerospace grade sealed bearings. I am not aware of any rigorous comparative data, but also have not spent a whole heck of a lot of time looking. Here is some additional info in case you are interested:

Thanks for posting this. I have a large pin Colt that I've wanted to change the trigger on for a long time. There are not as many options available for the ban era rifles.

Add Bitter Clinger to the list of kit recommend-ers.

I read all his links on the ELF triggers and man oh man, I want one of those too...badly.

I guess I could trade out my G2S trigger - put it in my S&W M&P 15-22 and put an ELF into my primary Colt LE6920,

hhhmmmm, maaaaaaybeee....scratching my white beard...
