FA triggers in AR platforms.

[gun'sRgood]

I know a little about AR triggers and definitely know a bad trigger from a good. However, when it comes to the FA's I've rented or was allowed to dry shoot, all the triggers basically felt the same. Is that me or are there higher end FA triggers. Like two stage or all the other good stuff you find in Timney or Geissele.

I've never seen an upgraded M16 FCG.

Light, crisp target triggers are generally not a design parameter for machine guns, and most select fire FCGs will have a heavier trigger pull in full auto mode because you're pushing against the disconnector spring in addition to trigger spring and sear friction.

The Geissele M-16 trigger is pretty good. Nice solid 2-stage on semi auto and then a so-so single stage on FA. Much better than the OEM trigger.

I have zero experience with the Timney.
