I now have my Stag lower and need to decide on what trigger I should use and was wondering if you guys could help me. My 2 options I had kicking around was to get a standard RRA LPK and sendthe trigger to Bill Springfield for his 3lb work over or a RRA 2 stag trigger and leave it as is. Main purpose of this rifle with be target shooting and plinking.

I would also suggest a WOA tuned RRA 2 stage trigger seen here. I have one and the pulls is very smooth

I havent tried the Bill Springfield Trigger job yet, but have plans to shortly

I bought the JP enterprise 3.5 lb. trigger spring kit and got a 1/4" fine threaded allen set screw 1/2" long. Tap out the pistol grip hole clear through the lower reciever with trigger parts out of the reciever so you can take out the creeep with the set screw. I had to grind a little bit of material about a 1/16th of an inch off the back of the trigger where the safetly contacts the trigger to get rid of all the creep. A little time with some 1000 and then 2000 grit sandpaper and I have a very nice 3.5-4 lb. trigger with no creep. I didn't do anything but take off the phosphate coating and shine up the contact points of the trigger parts including the sear. A dab of Rydol sear grease on the contact points. I don't know how much of and improvement a $250+ trigger would be over what i got but I have under $20 and an hour of my time in mine. You can check the safety and function of it without firing it when your all done with just the lower. Don't let your hammer slam into your reciever, catch it with your hand or put a rag on it.

Brownells actually sells a pistol grip screw that has an allen through the middle of it that accomplishes the same thing but they get $50 for it. Set screw at auto parts store 61 cents.

The only problem that I seen was that if you go too far with the set screw the disconnecter actually hangs up a little bit. You just back the screw up a bit until it quits contacting the hammer catch. Which isn't all bad because your sear needs to stay engaged that deep anyhow. So you can't get the sear too close to disengaging on its own.

I slammed the gun on the buttstock on the floor did everything I could to make it fire with the safety off. It will not go off until you pull the trigger. So safety is still number a 1 consideration for me no matter what trigger pull is.

I am not sure but I'm guessing the Springfield trigger job is very similair to this.

Just my $.02

I have both an RRA two stage, and a WOA tuned RRA two stage. The WOA can be tuned to 3.5 or 4.5lbs. Mine is a 4.5. There is a lot of difference in the pull and let off between them both. The WOA being superior. The regular RRA is a great trigger but the WOA tuned RRA is a fantastic trigger. Besides they are the same price. One from RRA is $120 and one from WOA is $120. So in my opinion its a no brainer order the trigger from WOA.

No first hand experience, but I've read that a lot of the 2-stage match triggers out there fail in the abusive environment of an "urban rifle" course that requires upwards of 500 rds expended in a couple days' time.

[There's an expensive proposition, ammo-wise, these days.]

One that I recall reportedly not failing was the CMMG version, and I've kicked around getting one... but of course like everything else right now, they appear on terminal backorder.

Other than that, for my own purposes I'm reluctant to change much of the basic milspec arrangement for fear of decrementing what is supposed to be an abuse-tolerant mechanism.
Reliability #1
Durability #2
Accuracy #3
Parts redundancy/availability #4

Just my $0.02, probably worth less than the stick price.

The only 2-stage triggers that are proven to be durable enough for combat are the Geiselle Hi-Speed and the Geiselle DMR. The WOA Tuned RRA is also very durable. I'd like to try the CMMG also.
