  For target work, my lower with the PRS stock has a 3# Timney single stage, the rest of my lowers have RRA NM 2 stage triggers and most of them break in the 4-4.5# range

  For the money, it's hard to beat the RRA NM 2 stage for a general use gun. It's no target trigger, but it'll do most of what I need it to do. For a basic setup, I've gone to using the RRA 2 stage with KNS pins.

  What type of AR trigger do you prefer?
  
  Reason I ask is that I used to have a DPMS 2 Stage Trigger in my gun. I thought it was pretty good, real good compared to the ones I used in issued M-16s while in uniform.
  
  For some reason the 1st stage of my trigger became very gritty feeling and no amount of cleaning or buffing helped, the 2nd stage still broke clean, but the gritty feeling just ruined my "feel good" feeling about the gun.
  
  I opted to install a new Single stage trigger that breaks right about 3.5 - 4 lbs. I know to some of you guys that I USED to call trigger snobs that is still considered heavy, but for my use of the AR it is a happy medium.
  
  Do you prefer single or double stage and at what weight do you prefer your AR trigger to break?

  
  Geissele SSA or SSA-E. End of story.

  Another vote for Geissele. They have different offerings, but the SSA-E will do the best for most.

  It's the cheap son of a female dog in me that keeps me from spending $250 on a trigger for an AR 15. I'd drop $100 to have a safe 3.5 lb trigger, but not much more.

  I have three RRA NM triggers installed and one in the drawer for my next lower. I like them a lot, every AR has the same trigger. I like that.

  I am afraid we forget sometime that the basic and simple things brings us the most pleasure.

  I like the Chip McCormick (CMC) trigger units; I've had several and still have a 3.5# unit in my current lower. Crisp with no overtravel that I can feel, and about half the price of the similar Wilson unit.

  Next Ft Lauderdale gun show check out In Guns We Trust. He is out of Ft Myers, he can hook you up with springs or a new trigger depending on what you need.

  I went with the Geissele Hi-Speed National Match - Match Rifle trigger.
  
  Perfect for a hunting or bench setup:
  
  1st Stage Weight: 1.5lbs. - 2.5lbs.
  2nd Stage Weight: 0.3lbs. - 0.9lbs.
  Total Pull Weight: 1.8lbs. - 3.4lbs.

  Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.
