Which AR-15 Drop-In Trigger Group?

Throw in a cold beer and a reach around and you’ve likely sealed the deal.

That also might require more than 3 minutes.

I think this is the Geissele B-GRF and was renamed the B-GC. I have one of these. They are nice, quick single stage triggers.

Watch the video at the bottom. The one I am recommending is the second trigger mentioned in the video, though I have both triggers and like them both for different uses. I have the B-GRF(or B-GC) in my HRT build.

So I have a few of these but the two-stage model. I am going to order the competition trigger to try it out.

I would be willing to help you install a fire control group; don't let that limit your selection. We can install one in like 3 minutes.

Thanks for the offer, but I've probably installed ~7-8 in my ARs over the years.. I can handle 2 pins.....

I ordered the LaRue today as I've owned many LaRue products and have never been disappointed. While I originally wanted a single stage trigger, they only offer 2-stage. At the end of the day, in the unlikely event of HD, 2-stage won't matter..

Thanks all

I replaced my stock trigger with a Rise Armament drop in and thought it was a nice upgrade. Now I am reading this thread and you guys are saying drop ins suck. Can someone explain please. Educate me.

I've got one in one of my range guns. I really like my Rave 140

Just my 2 cents....but the only time I tried a cassette drop in trigger, it went south on me about 6 months after I installed it.

Had some general debris fall into the cassette and the whole thing locked up. Manufacturer replaced it for me, buy I moved on.

Only 2 piece types for me in the future. There are a lot of great ones out there. But the cassette ones just don't leave any room if debris makes it's way in there.

For the sake of clarity, the OP was not talking about a drop-in trigger. He was only looking for a fire control group that wouldn't require any gun smith alterations to install. Really, that covers 99.99% of AR FCGs.

Find a larue to try and you’ll feel the difference. It’s hard to put in words, but my Rise cassette trigger is single stage. It has too much take up such that it feels unpredictable and the pull is a little too light. Compared to the larue 2 stage I’ll not be using any other triggers in the future. I’m not going to pull my Rise trigger out, but it’s important to know and tell people who are shooting mil spec before I hand them that rifle to be careful with the Rise trigger. The larue seems to have a shorter trigger pull and reset than the rise even though it’s 2 stage. It just feels way better and more intuitively predictable.

The psa NiBo 2 stage for 80 bucks is a damn nice trigger for the price. We got one around 2 years ago for gits and shiggles to try it and immediately liked it as much as a gazelle we have. They were 60 bucks when we got the first 2. We’ve gradually been replacing any remaining “mil-specs” with these when we do ammo orders, we’ll chuck one in the cart.

I have a Geissele G2S in my MK18. It’s a very nice 2-stage trigger.

Ok - sorry did not mean to insult your intelligence. Just looking for any excuse to get a beer

Not to hijack in anyway, but how are Daniel defense triggers in general? My brother is Giving me the one out of his DDM4 V7P. He did one of those drop in deals you guys are discussing, so figured I’d ask Since it may be a drop in for me lol

The two reasons that I can think of are (1) The set screws or screws holding it place can loosen up, (2) If the inside gets gummed up over time and it's a totally sealed unit you can't clean it out. That being said I do have some drop-in triggers but these are for range toy / hunting rifles where I find the risk acceptable. Whether or not you would call these triggers "trash", that to me is debatable.

Rise Armament is a great trigger for fast close in work. I have thousands of rounds through the three I have and they are still slick and strong.

My three rifles are only shot suppressed and the triggers have never been removed. I just brush out or blow out the lower depending how much unburned powder is in it. The screws don't loosen up if you put a drop of Loctite on them.

True.

Well thanks to all that explained the differences to me. Maybe on my next AR I will try the LaRue. Either way changing out a trigger shouldn't be a big deal. I typically try and change out triggers on several of my guns when I can. Maybe I am becoming a trigger snob. lol. Nothing better than a buttery smooth trigger.
