I always though it was guy-zel

 

I currently have a 2-stage RRA trigger, which came with the rifle. I love it. shot a friends standard 1 stage and i really disliked it. next build will be with a Geissele 2 stage( i apparently can't live with out a 2-stage now), if it stands up to the reviews it will be that much better then an already good 2-stage that i'm currently using.

 

I have Geisseles, and I also have a RRA 2-stage NM trigger. The RRA trigger IMHO is the best deal for a 2-stage trigger that doesn't break the bank.

New AR platform and M&P 15 Sport user here. In fact just I purchased rifle on 9/28, ordered the Geissele SSA trigger on 10/4 and shot rifle for first time with stock trigger on 10/5. My new SSA trigger came yesterday and installed it last night in less than 15 minutes. The stock trigger was OK but after some controlled testing with the new SSA I think I picked a winner. I’m very much looking forward to the next time out. I looked though all the other Geissele models and the SSA looks to be their “flagship model” and logical selection for me. Out of 44 (current) reviews on Midway the three less than perfect reviews were two 4 stars ratings and one 3 star by someone claiming the instructions were hard to understand and needed a Gunsmith to install his. I like the way each component of the trigger has its own sn# and also nice that is constructed in nearby PA. Vladtepes, thanks for the recommendation over on my M&P 15 post.

good luck with it.. they make a great product!

After using my friends single stage, and then directly picking up the rra 2-stage. i think to myself, how can it get any better? So i'm interested to see how much of a difference there is between the 2.

Between the SSA and the RRA 2 stage, mostly jut things like smoothness, how the takeup feels, reset length and strength. Between the SSA-e and the RRA.. that plus about 1lb of pull weight. In terms of quality the Geissele is built better and through hardened.

After hearing about so many happy campers using the Giessele SSA trigger, I ordered one yesterday from Midway since they had a $10 off coupon.

DId you put it in yet ??

The giessele SSA trigger is coming on Monday. I put the new magpul enhanced trigger guard in today. The magpul ctr stock came today. I'm waiting for the VLTOR extension. Should be here tomorrow. So later next week you can put the new stock on.

FYI - Geissele is pronounced "Guys-lee", not Jiz-lee

 

Dam iv been using Jizz Lee for ages.... People thought i was talking about asian porn.

LOL. Close. It's porn of a different sort.

just picked up a SSA-E from palmetto, 185 shipped.

Nice price for the best 3.5lb non-adjustable non-match trigger out there!

Giselle triggers are amazing. design and tolerances are outstanding. There's a reason everybody forks over the cash if they can afford it

I was going to get one at some point for my NJ ZED lower, saw he price and couldn't resist. It's not even negotiable with a price like that, your paying like 35 bucks more then an RRA 2-stage.

I've been interested in the RRA two stage trigger. Mostly because I'm a cheap SOB. Is the Geissele that much better than the RRA that a casual shooter like me would notice the difference?

The RRA 2 stage for me has been nothing but a pleasure to shoot. You can really tell how much better it is then a standard single stage, complete night and day difference and the consistency is just there. The Geissele is going to basically be a tuned rra 2 stage. So i'm going to say that yes, you probably would see a different, but... is it worth the extra cash? Do you need or want a match grade trigger group? or do you just want something that is a serious upgrade from the standard triggers? You will see more of a difference going from a standard trigger to an rra then from an rra to a Geissele. So i would say the value falls on the RRA, but that doesn't mean Geisseles aren't worth the money.

 

Robert, have you ever used a 2-stage?

For what you want buy the RRA 2-stage, it will be fine.

I don't believe I have.

Cool, thanks.

Any trigger upgrade is worth it. I have a stag model 3 that I always thought had a decent trigger. I got the FAR15 with the geissele and now I cant shoot the stag anymore! The trigger on that lower feels like it has sandpaper in it when fired after the FAR. As soon as money allows the stag will get an upgrade as well.

I replaced the stag 8 trigger with a giessele SSA. It's a awesome trigger.

Anybody make a lower parts kit with the ssa trigger included

Palmetto makes one SSA trigger and Magpul Miad grip included for $235...thinking of one for my next build

Much appreciated

 

DOE! i would have got the SSA-e maid kit if i knew palmetto put a nice package together.

Thats nice! Im glad you posted that link MarkWVU02! That will go nice with my NJGF lower build

Ken

No problem guys. I've used their regular MOE build kit in my build and two of my friends builds. Palmetto is quality stuff. I've never had a problem with them. I've got a lower sitting around that I've been trying to decide what to do with. I'm definitely buying that LPK when I have the extra loot. Just trying to decide how I want to approach it. Originally thought .300 AAC blackout but I don't think I need a dedicated build for that, just an upper. That BCM 14.5 EAG tactical upper has been calling my name but it's a lot of scratch...need to start saving my loose change haha. Good luck with your builds guys and make sure you post pics when they're done.

I think my next build is going to be a 24" SS bull barrel flat top. Its gonna get a scope on it. It will be my first scoped gun in 20 years.

Ken

I was wondering whether or not to spend the extra cash for a Geissele trigger for my Stag Arms Model 2, but after reading through this thread, I'm convinced that it would be a good move.

 

Thanks for all the advice!

You'll love it.

I have two now.. and will be buying one more..

 

out of all of them I prefer the SDE the most.. I find the flat trigger face awesome..
