Just got off the phone with Geissele.

I'd called them because my SSA-E is very close to 12k rounds and I was wondering if it was prudent to order some replacement springs to have on hand.

The answer I got made me do a double-take. The trigger and disconnect springs are considered lifetime springs (rated at in excess of 50K rounds), the hammer spring is rated for 50K rounds.

So it looks like I've still got a while before I need to worry about those springs.

Yet again - Buy Once, Cry Once.

I believe they use Chrome Silicone Springs which sounds about right.

I only have 2 options for my AR's

Tuned Factory FCG or Geissele. Everything else is complete junk.

I still have to get one my standard FCG's up to you. Very curious to see what can be done by a more heeled hand - tuning a FCG is NOT something I want to play with just yet.

This is turning into a good day. My sheriff is signing off on my Form 1, and I made an excellent choice in trigger companies.

I would blame the trigger in your gun before I would blame your personally loaded rounds for that Kaboom.

Theres lots of choices for a Geiselle. Im hoping your barrel isn't bulged or the barrel extension isn't set back.

Wes, I'm admittedly biased, but the SSA-E is a VERY nice trigger.

I love my SSA trigger. I also like my ACT trigger and you can't beat the price.

If a trigger adjusting set screw on a "parts kit" trigger doesn't get you where you want to be, then Geissele is the place to be. They last forever and are well worth the premium. I'm building a one-off SBR, go as good as I can get gun, you can bet it'll have a Geissele in it.

I guess I'm finally going to have to send him that bag of 10mm brass, to help ease the pain.

I've shot it. It's what got me addicted to Geissele's to begin with.

Very nice trigger.

ETA: I shot the Match model which is adjustable, the fellow that had that rifle had it adjusted to absolute perfection, IMO.

The adjustable Geissele Triggers are the only ones I don't like. I have seen adjustable triggers fail too often, never a Geissele but set screws don't belong on a firearm IMO.

They do feel nice though.

Part of the reason why I went with the SSA-E, non adjustable.

Learned the hard way in other areas of life - adjustable things can only go 1 of 2 ways, great - or horribly wrong.

Speed3, I'd opt for the SSA-E or even the 3-gun model, but not the SD3G - way too easy to bumpfire that one.

It is very easy to bump fire, which is why I put a SD3G on my slidefire gun.... Works like magic.

Chad...have you had your mitts on a Black Rain Ordnance trigger group? I just bought a Fallout 10, and I am very impressed with the trigger so far. It is a drop in unit .

I have 4 of them. I use them in highpower competition so they see a lot of use. They are THE trigger to have in an AR competition rifle. They have the best warranty in the business!
