Confused about what 15/22 trigger to get

[Blackstuff]

For the price my money/ease of install and function, my money has gone to a CMC 3.5lb single stage flat blade. And i LOVE to shoot steel matches

Come on now Tom, you know the hiperfire is as reliable if not more than any other trigger out there. I have 3 now and wish I picked up a couple more when the were dumping the "old" models last year. Never a light strike in like 5 yrs using them.

I saw pics of you squaded with some alabama folks recently. KY maybe? You wouldn't happen to be coming down for the TN state match are you? Been busy this summer, not to many majors. TN and AL state will be about all I shoot this year. You should try and make the WSSC next spring in Talladega. It was a great match from what I hear, plan on being there next yr. Not going to MO or any other rimfire matches that I know of. They did not have one match in the south this year. Screw that new organization. I'll stick with Steel Challange. Enjoying PCC to much. I'm actually faster with it then the 15-22. And both have hiperfires

Indiana State or Area 5 Steel Challenge maybe? I shot both. That's as far south as I've been. That'll change with Worlds. It's a matter of driving distance. I try to stay under 300 miles one way. I shot some Steel Challenge this summer because I had the time. Like you were finding, it seemed like not (as) many rimfire (RCSA) matches so the time was available. I shot more outlaw steel which I actually like best along with the RCSA Rimfire Challenge Matches. I miss the Cavern Cove Alabama State Match, RIP. It was worth the drive.

Not as many people shooting there as there used to be. USPSA and Steel Challange are full every month but the rimfire match is maybe half full, the SASS attendance seems down. IDPA has been discontinued due to lack of interest. 3.gun is about dead. They have a carbine match they are trying that draws some but not that many. There is a couple of ranges 2-3 hours from here. In TN, Dead Zero and Montlake, that are putting on good matches that a lot of people have started going to. Dead Zero is where the state steel match is next month. They have dumped a lot of money into that place and its pretty nice. They actually expanded the size of the action bays at CC, I suspect they may be trying for some bigger matches next year.

I have a CMC trigger. Dropped straight in and is lovely

One thing with the hiperfire, due to the additional force applied to the hammer, it can cause firing pins to break. I have had mine in for years without issue but still carry a spare. It is a bigger issue with PCCs.

Trigger Tech

Has anyone thought about Trigger Tech? I have two of them, one in my regular AR and one in my 15-22. I love how easy they are to adjust and they are a direct drop in trigger. Just thought I would share.

Love mine!

I'm using a 3.5# non-adjustable one that a buddy bought who upgraded to the adjustable one. It works well in the 15-22 and has been champ so far. Between the Trigger Tech and Geissele G2S I'm not sure which one I like better. Both have been working well so far.

I broke down and bought a CMC 2.5 lb competition drop in on sale. Its ok, not a hiperfire or even close IMO. But its an ok trigger. I don't think it resets as fast but has very little pretravel. Feels heavier than 2.5 lbs. I'll put it in my plinking AR, not a competition gun. Also bought a 4th hiperfire, the new 24 competition . not installed yet.

I've been running Geissele SD-3G Flat Bow triggers with Colt 901 trigger/hammer pins. During Geisseles' Labor Day Sale I got their new Single-Stage Precision Flat Bow trigger and another set of Colt 901 pins. So I've got a pair 15-22s, one with each. Perfect chance to compare.

SD-3G with the lighter of the 2 supplied trigger springs (consistently) breaks at 2 lb 2.8 oz on my Lyman digital gauge with the roller on the end of its' arm flush with the tip of the trigger bow, so it's contacting the trigger bow 4mm above its' tip. SSP breaks at 2 lb 8.1 oz. They both repeat with ridiculous consistency.

Measuring at the tip of the trigger bow both travel 3mm (metric scale was sitting close by) from trigger fully forward to break. The both have 1mm over travel, 4mm total travel. They feel very different. The SD-3G "slides" towards its' break point. What I've always called a "rolling" trigger. My Ruger/Volquartsen pistols have a "relaxed" hammer notch angle to be the same. The SSP has a traditional break. Very good crisp trigger for a semi-auto single stage trigger. I think as crisp as my Geissele SD-C two stage with a lighter trigger spring... They both have no pre-travel or "take-up".

They do feel different. The SSP "feels" faster with a shorter reset but the measurements show different. I'm not sure which I like better. I need to shoot both against a shot timer to see if I find an appreciable split time difference.

Some actual numbers for comparison with your HiperFires et al...

Off topic but are you at the world's? Sounds like they really screwed it up. Prone shooting, sitting and strong hand only. People are pissed. That's not rimfire challange. That's bianchi cup with .22s.

Finally decided on a CMC 3.5# straight trigger. Have a shoot tomorrow. Put 150 rounds through it yesterday and it is sweet! No pretravel or overtravel, just very crisp. Thanks for all your comments.

 

[bamashooter]

Have 3 of those now (ARs) and they're hard to beat. Congrats.

 

[rd97]

Follow-up post, the trigger was awesome. I am thankful for all the comments.

I've also been thinking about replacing the stock trigger on my 15-22. While I'm not really interested in competing, I would like an improved trigger for plinking and better accuracy. Sounds like this trigger would be just the ticket.

When ordering, do you need to specify a drop-in trigger for the 15-22, or does the CMC standard milspec AR15 trigger work just fine? Thanks. I appreciate the guidance.

The trigger fits but you'll need the longer anti-rotation pins that the 15-22 uses as opposed to the pins that come with it. Don't know if they have those but KNS does.

PA has both the curved and straight CMCs.

CMC AR-15/AR-10 Drop-In Single Stage 3.5lb Curved Trigger Mil-Spec .154" 91501 CMC AR-15/AR-10 Drop-In Single Stage 3.5lb Flat Trigger Mil-Spec .154" 91503

Those triggers are also available as 2.5 lbs. Regardless, make sure the trigger is the ".154" diameter size.


These pins by CMC will work for half the price. They don't have the bars but I have a few CMCs and they work just fine. CMC Smith & Wesson M&P Anti-Walk Pin Kit 15-22 22LR

Replacement trigger

The LaRue MBT is a very fine trigger. Currently, the price is under $88. Really, an excellent value made by some great folks. Also, their warranty can't be beat.
