I wonder if you could combine the ALG ACT with bkoenigs modification?

I don't see why not, since it appears to just be a "tuned" milspec trigger.

you can. the best way to remove all the pretravel is to actually fit the trigger to the safety.

Pretty much.  If you want a good solid milspec trigger, the ACT is a decent one from what I hear.  Right now, Primary Arms has them on sale for $49.99 (Coupon code:  ALG49, use it in the shopping cart) if people are really interested in them. 

https://www.primaryarms.com/ALG-Defense-05199ACT-Combat-Trigger-p/05199act.htm

Personally---my opinion is that the basic triggers I get from Fulton Armory (which are on three of my ARs) are perfectly solid if I want to stay unmodified mil-spec. And if I want them lighter, I can always use JP springs.

I do wonder what the ACT would be like with the JP trigger springs, though....  :)

I've been considering trying it...but I just have had such good luck with the reliability that I don't feel it would be worth it for me.

does any one know how good any of these triggers work with say a 22LR CMMG drop in kit or 9mm upper?

I hand used the geissele and jp in both my 9mm and 22lr both supprrssed and unsuppressed, with no problems. I can't say I've tried the others

Robert H, I've got both a CMMG and Tac Sol 22 uppers. Both run reliably with Geisselle triggers. FWIW Mike.

Dying to put either the SD-E or SSA-E in my Recce.. can't decide what I want to do with the SBR's trigger.  SSA or SD-C I assume.

well i'm a little pissed...

just read on arfcom that if you use ARFCOM as a coupon code, you get 30% off plus free shipping on everything in the store.  so i bought an SSA and a patch for $148.50 shipped.  here's to canceling botach's order.....

ETA: ends midnight tonight.

You just had to go and make me buy a new trigger, didn't you?

You are KILLING me.  I CAN'T afford this right after Christmas.  Ok...If I get a Geissele, which one should I go for?  I'm eventually planning on doing 3-gun so is the "Super 3 Gun" S3G the way to go, or should I just get something less dedicated since this is my only AR-15...so far?

I have never shot any of the geissele triggers but what i have read about the S3G is it is supper light with super short reset. It is said to be a great run and gun trigger but not something that you should use for bench shooting. I personally am going to go with a ssa or thw g2s. Tbey seem to be the all simple all purpose trigger.

This is just my take on it. I hope sometime soon to get a few of you guys with triggers together and try some.

Thanks for the reply, but it seems to be a moot point.  It's like a cow's opinion...it doesn't matter since they are out of stock on the S3G.
