It is to my understanding that the 15-22 will accept aftermarket ar15 triggers, while looking at several different companies triggers I noticed that you could either get a "small pin" or "large pin" which one of the two is needed for the 15-22?

can somebody please help a noob? lol

From the info that I have, the small pin is the one.

I'm planning to have Timney competition trigger, model #669S, which is a small pin version.

thanks a lot for the info man. i really appreciate the help.

Yes, small pin is the correct answer. I put a Rock River National Match two stage in mine. It came with the small pins.

IIRC the large pins are for some Colt models.

How much are you willing to spend? I have tried a few different ones and I can tell you that my Fav is the Geissele DMR is the best so far. $279

Have you tried the ones from Wilson Combat?

Each to his own, but....it seems to me that spending over half the cost of the rifle on a trigger group is a bit high.....unless you are shooting in competition matches, but if I were doing that I wouldn't be shooting the M&P 15-22.

Having a 2 stage RRA trigger in my Tactical Entry RRA and being very happy with it I'll save the $150 for ammo.

What is so great about these AR type .22s is that we have choices. We can go cheap or all out. Life is great.

I've noticed that the stock trigger that seemed so heavy and nasty to me at first has gotten better......or maybe I've just gotten used to it. No, it's still not up to match-trigger or good after-market standards by any means, but I do think that the stocker will improve somewhat after a few thousand rounds being launched downrange.

I'm wanting to keep it a one stage trigger, so I think I'm going to go with the Jard 1 1/2 lb. Any complaints on this trigger?

Very possible on the improvement. I know my S&W M&P 9 trigger showed improvement with more use. In fact, the salesman that sold me the gun told me to dry fire the M&P 9 about 1000 times to get the trigger better. Can't really dry fire a .22 though.

I would think just a simple polish with a dremel would also help the OE trigger.

Another option is to have the factory trigger worked over. I can recommend Bill Springfield's work Bill Springfield - www.TriggerWork.net. He can work wonders with a stock milspec single stage trigger.

Bill has my RRA 2 stage for a massage. Anxious to get it back and try it out.

True. I have definitely noticed the same thing.
