Trigger upgrade for 15-22

[maxicooper]

What will be the best choice of single-stage trigger upgraded for the 15-22? I'm looking at ~4.5 lbs trigger pull.
I heard someone's mentioned trigger set from JP. Should I get the trigger upgrade kit or the modular one?
Please advise.

Thank you.

How much money do you want to spend? Wilson Combat makes a very good single stage trigger. Drop in, no adjustments.

Err..... budget wise, not a whole lot. I've used up most of the budget already.

I'd say $200'ish is the max. Drop in with no adjustment would be best.

Thanks.

Is the one below the trigger you're talking about?

Yep, that is the one. I have that trigger in another AR. It is a Rock River lower with a Spikes Tactical T22 dedicated .22 upper. It is a real sweet trigger, but about 100 over your budget. If it were cheaper I would own more than one.

Why do you want a single-stage trigger? Rock River Arms makes one of the nicest two-stage triggers, very controllable, 4-5 lb pull and it is totally 'drop in'.

And, you know what the best part is? Brownell's has them for about $120. The other $80 will buy you quite a bit of .22 ammo at Wally World.

Have talked to some of my friends, they all recommended Timney Competition. Good reviews and fit right into my budget.

Has anyone had experience with Timney product?

Thanks.

One of the few complaints I have about my 15-22 is a rough trigger. Most reviews say trigger pull is decent on these, so maybe I got a lemon in that regard. I've been thinking of sending my FCG to Bill Springfield and having him do his trigger job on it. Does anyone know if the FCG in the 15-22 is mil-spec in terms of quality? Same components as the regular M&P15? If so, I may go that route...

Try a trigger on the Colt M4 if you have a chance. You will come away thinking you have a match trigger in your 15-22.

Yes, mil-spec. I have a Rock River two stage in mine. I also have been thinking of sending it to Bill Springfield to be "blessed".

The RRA 2 stage is a good trigger. I have one in my 15-22. If one shops around on the 'net" they can be had for about $100.00. ar15.com is a good place to shop around on.

I've heard that about the Colt... After inspecting the engagement surfaces on mine, it's obviously in need of a little "cleaning up". Think I'll give Mr. Springfield a try

Thanks for the input. I think I'll go for the Timney.

Gotta call Santa tomorrow.

If money is not the issue go with the Geissele DMR. I have a rock river 2 stage and the DMR. I just put the DMR on all of my rifles. They are the best(in my opinion). The 15-22 has no jerk at all. I will post videos of it this weekend at the range.

Timney Trigger perfect accuracy upgrade

This is an older thread regarding which drop in trigger works well for the M&P 15. I thought I would give some up to date feed back for those who are still interested. I installed a Timney in my M&P15 last year and I'm more than satisfied. The install is truly drop in and hassle free. The quality of this trigger is far superior to any mil-spec modification and is equal to or better than many of the other drop in options that are available. I've just confirmed with S&W / M&P support that the M&P 15-22 Sport will accept drop in triggers as it uses a mil-spec trigger group. I'm going to drop a Timeny into the new M&P®15-22 Sport when I receive it.
These Timney triggers are the easiest and most affordable accuracy upgrade for your rifle. You will not be disappointed.

CMC drop in for best performance. 3.5 lb slidefire kit runs great. People returned their timneys...

 

[Luke79]

And I love my rra nm 2 stage in my real AR. I just wish that I had the lighter version

 

[DMSC]

I have been running a Geissele Super 3 gun (S3G) in my 15-22 for several years. Works great for Steel Challenge and range plinking.

Jarred trigger can be had for about 150 and for a few dollars you can get different springs to change the weight. Im in the market for the 1.5lb top adjustable single stage and its $148.00

 

[Ricrock]

I have the ALG-ACT trigger in mine and love it. Breaks at 3-1/2# and is available from algdefense for $69.00

Hiperfire 24C in mine 2lb, 3lb or 4lb optional trigger pull, ridiculous finger breaking hammer fall. Single stage, super crisp, no creep, insane reset. Love this trigger, worth every penny!
