Has anyone successfully installed a RRA 2 stage trigger in their 15-22? I tried yesterday and it wouldn't work.

It almost seemed like the rear of the trigger hung up on the safety(when it was dis-engaged). This trigger came out of one of my AR's and worked fine when it was removed a year or so ago.

Any ideas as to what the problem would be?

Fitting as in filing where it engages? Or something else?

Would I be as well off installing a standard AR safety? I have a couple laying around but didn't think to try one yesterday.
 
I can't help you with what the issue may be, but a RRA 2 stage trigger was one of the very first mods I did on mine and it dropped right in.
 
The RRA 2 stage is the only trigger I have ever used in my 15-22. It hasn't had any problems in several thousand rounds.
 
I would remove the safety from your 15-22, install the trigger, and then reinstall the safety. I believe this is the easiest way to do it.

Just be careful not to lose the safety spring or detent.
 
You might want to get the installation instructions and take a look at them.

I have installed many triggers in standard AR's and never had a problem. I had limited time yesterday to troubleshoot why the RRA trigger wouldn't work. I just came here to verify that there wasn't a known issue with that trigger in the 15-22.

The Performance Center model comes standard with an RRA 2-stage installed so I do not think compatability is an issue. Of course I replaced mine with a trigger more appropriate to my intended use, but still it was not a bad trigger, especially with the JP reduced power springs in it. It just could not do what I needed.
 
I had one of my RRA 2 stage lowers come from them and the safety had been filed on to make it work. Could try it, they are cheap to replace. Just my .02
 
I used this trigger in my M&P15-22 for a weekend. Ran fine. Something about a $120 trigger in a $300 rifle just didn't seem right so I put the original parts back in with JP yellow springs. Good enough for a .22LR plinker!

The RRA trigger is an extra one I have laying around. My Noveske has a Geissele SSA and I wanted my 15-22 to feel similar. As Chuck mentioned above it wouldn't seem right to buy an expensive trigger for a plinker.

Do the JP springs make a noticeable difference in the trigger? Any issues to be aware of? My 10 yr old daughter is going to be shooting this in steel challenge matches and a little better trigger pull would be nice.
 
The problem is definitely with the trigger hitting the shoulders on the safety. Tried a second safety and had the same issue. It appears that my RRA trigger is wider than the stock trigger where it contacts the safety. I noticed the RRA trigger is flat and the stock trigger (and another single stage I have) are both relieved at the rear where it contacts the safety.

I guess I could file down the RRA trigger and make it work but I will probably just use the stock trigger for now. The 2 Stage RRA trigger is 3 or 4 years old....I wonder if the new ones are different?
 
I would say that is the same issue.

I might try filing the safety at some point. I wonder if this is some tolerance stacking issue? This RRA trigger works fine in a standard AR lower. I might take the extra AR safety I tried and modify it to work with this trigger in the 15-22. I just hate having to mess with something like this when it really should be "drop in" if everything is within spec.
