Seems to be several satisfied RRA NM 2-stage users here, but this post on another forum indicates that RRA does not support their NM 2-stage trigger in an M&P 15-22:

I bought a new Rock River Arms (RRA) 2 stage trigger 6 months ago and installed it in my S&W M&P 15-22. I had about two thousand rounds through it until last week when the connector (or whatever it is called) on the back of the hammer broke off (see attached pic). I called RRA today and spoke to a tech rep named Brian. I told him about the breakage and he asked what rifle I had the trigger in. I told him the S&W M&P 15-22, and he said that the trigger was NOT designed to handle the violent action of a 22LR AR and I was out of luck. I asked him if I could get a return authorization number to send it to them for replacement, and he said no. He said I have to buy a new trigger!

Update: RRA ended up replacing the trigger kit, so I am happy now. They also said they are modifying their documentation to reflect that the trigger is not designed for direct blowback actions. Thanks.

That is a little disconcerting about the RR 2 stage. The reasoning makes perfect sense though. I just would not have thought that the material or the design of the trigger wouldn't be able to handle the blow-back operation of the rifle. I am nowhere near two thousand rounds with the trigger I put in my 15-22, but I may transfer the RR to another firearm.

Considering that the FCG in the Performance Center 15-22 is a RR2, I think someone at RRA is full of it. I also have a problem accepting that a blowback .22 action is more destructive than the forces in a locked breech 5.56.

Wow! #6 is incredibly light pull. Fart next to that gun and it might go off!!

I use RRA 2-stage, works great.

The first time I put #6 together and measured the pull I said the same thing, ADs! I had a pro try it and he liked the pull.
So I put the OEM S3G springs back in for 6 months. Then for the 2013 Ruger Rimfire World Championship I put the JP springs back in. No problems and no AD. So for now they are staying in. I tried just putting in the JP trigger spring but it ruined the geometry of the S3G trigger, as it would not reset properly. Have not tried anything like the JP combo spring set which has the "yellow" trigger spring and the "red" hammer spring (red is extra power).

It feels a little like B.S. to me, but I don't want to be out of a $125 trigger with no replacement option. In my limited experience with RRA they have been friendly and helpful.

Maybe someone in customer service got their wires crossed and maybe the person who wrote that review is full of it? Either way I am going to try to find out more info, already sent an email to RRA for information. Will post response when I find out.

Awesome... That would be very helpful!

If RRA's answer is they do support the 2-stage in the 15-22, I'll be placing an order post-haste. Thanks!

CMC here. I like it!

JP trigger kit

Will the JP trigger kit (JPFC-1 for $120) work in the 15-22?

JP - Fire Control System

If so does anyone have any experience with it?

Just curious if this was a good choice.


Thanks,

Mike

I don't know anyone using it but I do not see why it would not work. Supposed to be the fastest setup for 3-gun. However top shooters don't just pick a trigger for that alone. I might try one of those in one of my guns, AR or 15-22 someday.

I have one..... its OK... if yer new to trigger Groups dont get it... Its adjustable, meaning ya GOTTA adjust it to get it CRISP... That means grinding off some of the disconector is needed..

Spend $60 more and get a CMC or Timney

This or using a set screw can reduce travel. I've equipped both my 15-22s and my Sport and they work well.

Never seen that part before. Thanks!

Just thought I would drop a line and mention that RRA has not responded to my question yet. I did receive an automated email stating that they received my inquiry and would get back to me in 72 hrs-which was 7 days ago.

I have a Wilson Combat Tactical Trigger Unit (TTU), Single Stage, Semi-Auto installed in my M&P 15-22. Although it's expensive it drops right in (almost literally) and is very crisp, responsive, and reliable.

And you don't even need to loosen or remove the safety!! Quality piece!

Just gor my CMC trigger in

Dropped it in my S&W Sport... gunna try it next week... then probobly swap the CMC and Timney out in my 15-22 and try that...

See how the CMC works with the Slidefire...

 

[BlueLizard]

Added a set of JP Yellows with the stock trigger for the first 6 months of owning my 15-22 - no light strikes, no issues.

Swapped out the stock FCG for a Geissele SSA after that and have been very happy with this setup for the 18 months (and several thousand rounds) ever since - no problems

Ok

For all you Experts out There.... a Question for yA

So i installed the CMC Trigger... the Hammer Spring seems WAY stronger than the Timney... I mean it Hurt my Finger when i was Stopping it to do my LB's tests... it really PINCHED it...LOL

So how would the Stronger hammer spring make a difference in performance???

I will eventually do actual testing in my 15-22 and the slidefire as well as my S&W Sport... But kinda wondering what you all know about Trigger groups

Thanks guys...

Stronger hammer spring ... Harder hit on the firing pin and consequently a harder hit on the rim of the cartridge.
