Drop in trigger for AR15

[ebb]

A friend asked me today what was the best drop in trigger for an AR 15. I had no idea what to tell him. What do you guys have to say on the subject?

The Geissele SSA-E but probably not considered a "drop in"
I would buy the Geissele and not look back.

Any of the Triggertech triggers are top notch and after having tried many big names, I would not use any other kind.

I was a sceptic at first but the Jard AR “set” trigger made in Iowa is great.

3 pounds until you push it forward then under a pound. And a drop in install. Try it you will love it.

Can you say what he is/will be using his AR for?
There are a lot of options. The best options for, say, home defense, would be different from ones for long range precision competition.

LaRue 2 stage trigger , just look up AR trigger replacement . I have a Colt HBar AR15 , always had a gritty trigger but never used it for a bench gun . Then started reading about improving the trigger on AR's , pop out two pins and your done , it's that easy . Check out the LaRue 2 stage trigger.Hope I Helped.

ebb,
A really good bang for your buck is the LaRue MBT 2S Trigger. It is not a self contained drop in, but for $80 you get a trigger the is right up there with Geissele's SSA-E triggers! I have them in several ARs and love them. The only draw back is that LaRue is not the fastest company for getting you their parts. I just got in one of their Ultimate upper kits for a 6ARC build. It took 3 months to get. I am also still waiting on another trigger that still has not shipped and was ordered at the same time. With that said, they are well worth the wait! I am slowly switching out all my ar triggers for the MBT 2s.

He will use it for plinking, informal target shooting and home defense. He insist it must be 100% drop in. I think that means he wants it to be adjusted from the factory and he will not be required to adjust it.

+ how ever many. If I can do it any one can.

*POF drop in triggers are a good bang for the buck. I have one in my all purpose AR and really like it . Its just the right pull weight (3.5lbs) for hunting and plinking 600yd steel.

 

[KiloTrooper]

Been very pleased with CMC... lots of options, hard to get any more "drop in." The original Geissele SSA seems optimal for the need described.

For a precision AR build, Timney Calvin Elite drop-in. Multiple trigger shoe options (included). Fully adjustable trigger shoe position and orientation. 1.5lb crisp, single stage trigger pull. Awesome!

^^^ If you mean POF, that would be a good one for what the OP says his bud wants to do with the rifle. Excellent choice for the experience level that I infer from the thread.

The last few I put in new builds are the "Gold Trigger". My buddies and I like them a lot.
