I have a 3# version in my SPR-ish clone and am happy. I am used to a 2-stage trigger on my ARs (had ones from KAC, CLE and a Holliger/RRA) and the single stage takes some getting used to. I have a very slight bit of creep, though nothing I need to stone out of it right now. I really like the radius of the trigger arch.

Spoke with a Timney technical person prior to purchasing the AR-15 drop-in trigger. He assured me I could put this trigger in. He was right I had no trouble whatsoever. As long as you read the instructions and follow them you should have no problems as well. After completing the installation I checked for proper function of the firearm and it worked beautifully. I then tested the trigger for creep and crispness. I must say it was a vast improvement over the factory trigger. I felt minimal travel before before the hammer dropped. Barely noticeable, not enough to bother me. And I am a professional rifleman and have custom triggers on all my competition weapons. This is an excellent product and well worth the money! The AR-15 I put this in was an M

Unlike Adam Stocktons use in a DPMS LR 308, I installed one in and AR10 but modify the installation instructions a bit. The instructions are to secure the trigger with a second set of screws that are supplied. If you try this it may cause you to loose your religion!! Instead, with the trigger out of the rifle screw the primary srews out the botton, then start them back in with one thread holding each, put some blue locktite on then srew them into the trigger housing wiping off the excess, install the trigger as per instructions and let it cure over night. While Adam could'nt understand why it's not cataloged as an AR 10/SR 25 etc, the reason is simple it does'nt hit the primers hard enough. While using a Lee hand primer on all of my cases, The ones that were using Speer's #34 Military primers I had a 20% misfires, of these that were recycled only 5% would fire. NOTE FROM TIMNEY we do NOT recomend locktite as we have had hundreds of triggers returned saying "the trigger just locked up". Use the screws; it's foolproof and recoil proof.

I have been using the 3 lb trigger in my DPMS LR 308 (yes, it will work fine in the 308... don't know the reasoning behind Timney's "AR-10" trigger) for a couple weeks or so. I shoot pretty much every day, so I can say I have a good feel for this product and I rate it very highly.

Of course ANY after-market trigger would have to be an improvement over the one from the factory, which feels like dragging a cinder block through gravel. But the Timney seems to me to be the perfect trigger for my rifle. I'm not a competition bench rest shooter. I intend to hunt East Texas hogs and deer with this rifle, but still I'm a stickler for accuracy and a good trigger makes a BIG difference from the bench or the blind.

Some other reviews I read concerning the creep in the trigger made me hesitant to buy it, but the cost, the design, and the name over-rode my concerns. I am not at all disappointed. Although the trigger does have a small amount of creep, it is detectable only when dry-firing and paying very close attention. On sand bags, it's one of the best triggers I've had the opportunity to squeeze. I'm shooting sub-half inch groups at 100 yd... that says a lot about the complete rig, including the trigger. By the way, it's gotten smoother and crisper after breaking it in a little. It just "feels right" to me.

Maybe some of the other shooters who gave it lower ratings got "lemons" or maybe their standards are much higher than mine, but I'm EXTREMELY pleased with my trigger, and would recommend it in a second to any potential buyer.

It is a great trigger, mine is very crisp and turned my DPMS AR15 into a a very accurate gun which I really like to shoot now. It was very easy to install (15 min or so) and worked perfectly. I sont know how it compares to other triggers, but I am getting one on my AR10 ASAP !!

I agree with Mary A Robert

The sear engagement caused a lot of travel. I could easily pull it 1/2 way and stop.. then the rest of the way later to fire. It's not "crisp" by a long shot (pun intentional).. It's a" Lawyer trigger"

I was very disappointed. I expected a "Crisp" trigger. That is the most important to me.

You really should NOT be able to move the trigger at ALL with out it going off. Or be able to tell WHEN it's going to "break." PERIOD

The disconnector engagement was set to much also.. At least you can adjust that for faster follow up shots.

I tried using the larger set screw to see if that helped, but I did not see any improvement..

It should have instructions that tell you what each set screw does. The sear engagement should be adjustable. I can't believe I had to take a stone to a $200 match trigger .. Grrrr

That was the whole point of getting a drop in trigger in the first place was so I would not have to do that. As it is I still have a less than stellar trigger.

I had tried to wear it in by working the trigger at night I am at over 1000 cycles and still had the creep only smoother..

I finally broke down and took a stone to it. I reduced the amount of the height of the engagement cut in the hammer, just a tiny bit. It will still creep but less. It's better but still is not what I would call a good target trigger. I should probably stone it some more but I don't want to over do it.

I guess I got one of the 2 lemons... Mary got the other one ;)

I guess I was just unlucky since others did not have the same experience .. except Mary.

It did not meet my expectations.

Super fast shipping from your website. Installed just as you said it would. Piece of cake. Trigger feels worlds better than stock. Thanks for a great product!

The rear of the disconnector is not beveled/notched out so as to allow the plugger screw on the safety of a Bushmaster AR to engage fully. Aside from that it appears to be a good trigger, a little spendy, but good.

Very nice trigger. Easy to install with a great feel. would like to see a better way of locking the pins in though.

Currently using the 4# on a SPR that I recently built. Extremely crisp, very nice trigger. In that weight, there is no better trigger available, period.

There should be a sear engagement adjustment. You could put a set screw between the disconnector and the trigger. then you wouldn't have all that creep.
