think is the best replacement single stage trigger ? I'm gonna replace my standard one in my AA lower soon and Thought I'd ask some of the pros with the grendel experience what they'd recommend. I've only been shooting the grendel for about a month now but I love it. As for AR's I've got over 11 yrs exp. with m4s , m16s and ar15s.
One more thing , I'm gonna order the KNS Precision trigger group pins, do I need the
.1555 or the .154 pins?

Wilson Combat TTU single stage breaks a ~4 lbs, and is a darn good unit. No take-up, short overtravel, crisp break, and reliable ignition with thicker primers (like CCI #41's).

Alexander Arms Tactical Trigger.

I've had 3, every one feels exactly the same, breaks like glass.

I would have to agree on the Alexander Arms Tactical. I have one theres basically no travel you pull the trigger slightly maybe eighth of an inch at click. Maybe even less than an eighth lol. Good trigger for the money and looks good to.

I've got 2 stages on my rifles, but have shot on a friend's AR with a Timney. It was nice. And, it was a "drop-in" solution; no springs or anything else to mess with. I believe it was ~3lb.

Of all of them that I have used, the geissele triggers feel the best to me. I have had good results with the RRA. Occasionally, I get light strikes with an LMT.

Edit: Missed the single stage part of the post.

Geissele makes a single stage? The OP asked about single stage triggers.

Geissele doesn't make a single stage trigger, but it is my opinion that no single stage trigger is as nice as a Giessele two stage nor will any single stage trigger hold up to hard use as well as a Giessele. I have over 14,000 rounds and countless dry fires on one of my Geissele's.

+1 for Geissele. The 2 stage triggers I referenced earlier are a Geissele and a RRA. If you have an open mind about a 2 stage, I would highly reccomend a Geissele.

My Sabre Defence came with a Timney and I am very satisfied and have no intention of replacing it.

I have several Timney triggers also and would not replace them, but if I were buying new I would choose the Geissele over the Timney. One of my Timneys is in my Les Baer Thunder Ranch, I requested a Geissele but Les said no, the Timney was the best trigger you could get. That was about three years ago, today he puts Geissele in his top line AR's.

I'm using AA tactical trigger. It breaks very clean just a tiny bit of creep; but at that point it's breaking anyway.

I have mostly KAC triggers, but I'll be going with geisseles in the future.

For single stage, I use JP triggers. They are hard to beat, and the AA/Mega is basically the same trigger as the JP, only JP has a standard trigger bow protruding from the lower. Set them up to run crisp, with no over-travel, and they are great. Night and day difference between a stock trigger. I polish the sear engagement surfaces, use JP springs, and prefer the JP speed hammer so you don't have light strikes with the reduced power hammer spring. You often have to time the disconnector, but if you follow the instructions, it's a fairly simple task for someone with an IQ over 85.
