Looking for a decent aftermarket trigger for my AR. Have heard good things about Geissele and JP triggers, and have done some research on Arfcom.

Anyone out here have real experience with one? Would like to hear about it. The standard issue trigger for ARs leave a lot to be desired with their 8+ pounds pull.

TIA

I have a geiselle SSA-E on my AR-10. I love it and it's way better than a stock AR trigger no doubt. I think it breaks around 4 lbs and is very simple to install.

If you're looking for an affordable option, the Rock River National Match 2 stage trigger is one hell of a good one for $120.

I put RRA NM 2-stage triggers in both my AR's. Picked them up for $90/ea from Spikes.

Depending on your budget and usage.

Geiselle or however are great.

I like Timney products.

On the super cheap, you could send it out to Bill Springfield and have him work on it.

I did have a well worn trigger with some JP yellow springs in a varmint gun, that was pretty nice for $20.

Geiselle 3gun dynamic is the best and quickest trigger I have used. Timney makes a decent ar trigger as well. CMCs flat ar trigger is decent as well.

Geisselle are arguably the best, alg for a cheaper option. Alg is a partner company of geisselle

I am going to get a geissele ssa-e for christmas but may consider the g2s e from brownells. Anybody compare the ssa vs g2s? I know they are close but if it's 50 dollar difference, would you get the higher end?

This. I've had national match triggers, timney 3lb triggers but none hold a candle to geissles.

Of my 7 ars. 5 have geissles. Of the two that don't, one is a .22 and the other doesn't get shot.

I have the SSA and have a S3G arriving today. I doubt there is much difference in the SSA and G2S other than appearance and maybe some QC specs, but from what I understand they are virtually identical in performance.
The S3G or SD3g however, well that's another animal altogether. That thing is sweet once you learn to handle it, but not for every application.

I wanted a 2 stage instead of a 3 gun style. I am interested in the flat triggers though.

Then you may want this.
Super Dynamic Combat

One lives in every AR I own (308 too). Love them and the flat trigger. Love me some flat 1911 triggers too.

All the AR's that I shoot, plus an M&P 15-22 (the kids shoot this one) have Geissele SSA-E (two-stage) triggers.

As was mentioned, they are easy to install.

This thread from M4carbine.com might be of interest: LINK

This chart helps remove some of the guesswork in comparing the various Geissele triggers:
