Most Helpful Positive Review Smooth as butta with a crisp click
Fairly easy install with excellent results.I used it in an ar556 by Ruger. Some may say I spent too much money on the trigger and that I put mink seats in a volkswagen...Talk on while I rock on. I also put trijicon sights on the weapon and you know what. It's killa dilla now.
Most Helpful Negative Review Ar 15 small pin 3 lb trigger
Have purchased other Timney Triggers and been quite pleased. Not so with this one. Installed very easy but that is about the end of the pleasant experience. Bought a 3 lb trigger, received a 4lb 12 oz one. Called Timney Tech Support twice, could not get a person, had to leave a callback message. Sti...

Simple and Solid

by Harry, Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on May 21, 2025
Installation was quick and easy. You get an installation chart that has a lot of explanatary photos. Simple tool needs. A part of my old trigger actually sprung out as it was under spring tension. Caught me by surprise but not a big deal. You have to move the spring fingers aside on the Timney to access the installation screw holes then reposition when done. This was a single stage trigger so absolutely no takeup on the pull. Trigger broke very cleanly. Biggest decisions for you - trigger pull weight and whether single stage or 2 stage trigger.
Pros:
  • Simple install, clean no gritty pull, quality component
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Comp/hunting

Excellent trigger!

by Lyndon223, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on December 30, 2024
The Timney AR-15 Competition Trigger (yellow / 3lb) has been a very significant improvement to my Ruger AR-556 rifle. The stock trigger was just fine, for a GI military-style trigger, and I could shoot good groups with it, but the Timney trigger, with it's much lighter pull weight and much crisper break makes accurate shooting a whole lot easier. The installation was very easy, and the provided instructions were very clear. There is also a YT video by Timney that shows the procedure step-by-step. This addition is one of the two best accessories I have on my rifle, the other being a good red dot sight.
Pros:
  • Crisp break
  • light pull weight
  • Easy, drop-in installation
Cons:
  • none that I have found
Best Used for:
  • All types of shooting where accuracy is important
Would recommend: Yes

Easy installation, smooth, crisp, trigger pull and reset

by Chris, Verified Owner from HI, United States Written on November 20, 2024
I just purchased a Daniel Defense DDM4V7 Desert Sage which came with a Geissele Super Semi-Automatic (SSA) Trigger, at the same time I purchased a Sig Sauger MPC PCC with came with a Competition Timney Trigger.

The Timney trigger on my MPX felt so good I knew I havd to get a Timney Trigger for my DDM4V7.
Even though the trigger pull for the Geissele trigger is around 2-3 lbs, it was the lenght it took to break which killed it for me.

As long as you know how to disassemble your lower, grip, installtion can be done in 15mins easy.

Absolute Best!

by VonWhip, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on August 10, 2024
I’ve always been a CMC trigger fan but a local gunsmith recommended the Timney Competition trigger for a particular AR build I am working on and though it’s almost twice as much but ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!
Pros:
  • Quality
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AR15
