Okay. So I'm in the process of building the AR I posted about before.
Originally, my choice for a trigger was a drop in timney. As we all know here, I'm pretty anal, I ask a lot of questions, and I don't make choices quickly. Before I was going to pull the trigger (pun intended) on buying the timney, I wanted to research one more thing....and I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier: Is the trigger going to hold up. 1/2 the people that had one in my days of forum and review research said it's perfectly fine....a few extra said ehh....but then we had about 1/4 of them who said this trigger is in no way shape or form even slightly combat ready....this got me nervous. Did more research. Well it makes sense, match type triggers usually are a bit sensitive, but I figured with a name like timney, it would be at least functional in a high stress enviornment (IE: combat scenario, training, hard shooting, whatever). Apparently, the real shooters (not the bench rest heros), have some serious issues with it in such instances, especially in demading training related stuff. Most of them ended up recommending STANDARD MIL-SPEC (whoa) or the gisselle combat.
Thoughts? I'm not trying to answer my own question here, I've already been turned off on the timney, and I don't feel like cleaning a skeletonized trigger either.
Gisselle combat single stage or tuned mil-spec? I'm not talking crazy accuracy driven performance here, I'm looking for 100% reliability under all conditions. Will I shoot it in combat? Probably not. Am I going to compromise for anything less than 100% perfect and the best, **** no, this gun is going to be the tops from front to back. I just never thought 100% reliability would honestly mean going with a 60$ mil trigger, but finding reviews on the gisselle in enviornments other than match shoots are tough to come by.
Help.
