Default Gieselle SSA-E Ordered.

Should be here Mon. or Tuesday and I'll get to the range sometime next week and report. I've been considering a better, 2 stage trigger for a while and decided to, well, pull the trigger.

"The Geissele Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced (SSA-E) Trigger is a finely-tuned semi-automatic-only version of our full-auto, two stage combat trigger presently used in the U.S. Special Operations Community. Built on the chassis of the Geissele SSA, the SSA-E provides enhanced trigger control and weapon accuracy while maintaining the robustness and reliability of our combat-proven two-stage trigger. The SSA-E’s reduced 1st and 2nd stage pull weights result in a trigger with a smooth, light 1st stage take-up and a crisp, candy cane-like 2nd stage break. The SSA-E is ideal for use in precision Squad Designated Marksman type rifles where weapon accuracy and reliability are critical and a non-adjustable drop in trigger is desired."

1. Performance Advantages for the Shooter
• The Geissele SSA-E has a pull weight of about 3.5 lbs. There
is 2.3 lbs. on the 1st stage and 1.2 lbs. on the 2nd stage. The pull
weights and sear engagement are non adjustable by the shooter.
• Trigger and hammer are made from quality tool steel.
• Sear surfaces are cut by a wire edm machine. Sears cut this
way are very accurate and the non-directional surface finish of the wire
edm gives a smooth trigger pull without the associated grittiness of
directional machining marks left by a milling cutter.
• The initial force needed to start the disengagement of the sear
surfaces is low and the force linearly increases at a low rate. This
helps the shot to fall at the initial point of aim and aids in building
shooter confidence in his weapons ability to put the rounds where his
sight is pointing.
• The Geissele SSA-E trigger allows the shooter to slap through
the trigger pull on close in shots but also set up a long range shot with
a crisp trigger break.
• A full force hammer spring is used for quick locktime and positive
ignition of all types of ammo. No lightened hammer spring is used.
• The hammer is lighter than a standard AR15 hammer. The
lightened hammer favorably decreases locktime over a standard
hammer from 8.5 to 5.1 ms and increases accuracy of the weapon.

I have an SSA-E my primary 3 gun rifle. It is everything advertised. I suspect you will like it.

It also works with my Tactical Solutions .22LR dedicated upper.

Have fun,
Dave

Well, Primary Arms and Priority mail had the SSA-E in my hands by this morning. Just ordered it on Friday and it is installed as we speak! This video made it very simple.....

Military Times Gear Scout

Smooth, short and very light pull. First stage very light and second approaches "Hair trigger" territory, relative to the stock, GI type trigger anyway. Very pleased.
