Trigger Upgrade

SO there are three items:

Already decided
-AR-V will do either Geisselle or PSA, already decided

To be decided
-AK-V. Would like either Geisselle or PSA but dont know if feasible?
-PX9. Also would like either Geisselle or PSA but dont know if feasible?

I already have extra PSA 2 stage triggers in my possession. I also have a PS single stage trigger but would have to remove it from another [AR15] lower. I could buy additional Geisselle trigger(s) if worth it. I would not want to buy more of any special trigger without knowing first they will fit correctly into AK-V andor PX9.

Does that make sense?

G triggers won’t work in AkV. You will need to look at the single stage ALG trigger (made by G).

As for your px9, try the PSA 2 stage, and if it works use it.

Good to know about the AK-V, that is if I actually had one.

I run Laru in all my Ar

I am having trouble getting Franklin binary to run reliably in my arv. Any spring combinations that work that I haven’t tried? Or do I just need the feed ramp polished? That what the problem seems to be, getting stuck when feeding

PSA 3.5 flat trigger in my ARV. Work awesome and no issues.

Good to know, thanks!

Good topic in this string. After reading through it I purchased a LaRue (2 stage) what was on sale. It has functioned without issue for about 200 rounds, installation was what you would expect, and it offers a very nice & light trigger pull. There really wasn’t anything wrong with the stock PSA trigger, it was just time to time to try something different.

I have the same LaRue on another AR and it’s impressive. They also have a ā€œTrigger Action Chassisā€ (a plastic, neutered lower) to practice trigger assembly/disassembly. I need to do that about another 100 times to get comfortable with it, but I’ll probably lose a bunch of detent pins and springs.

Whats your opinion on the alg act trigger? I like the alg in my akv so much i wanted to get one for the arv im getting too. I have a giessele ssae in my gen 3 ar10 and of course its amazing but didnt want to spend that much in the arv but I do need it to be reliable.

Geissele/ALG all the things. I use an SSA-E in my AR-V.

Hi,

since few months PSA AR-V are available in my country and I’m thinking about building my PCC on this platform. Does anyone know if the POF trigger will work with it?

I have this trigger on my AR and i absolutely love it, would be great to use it on my PCC.

AR triggers are compatible with the AR-V.

Good morn all! First post and found the topic I’m looking for. My wife wants me to install a trigger (girl fingers) for a SSA-EX 2 stage. I’ve read the ARV works with geissele 2 stages, but I’m hoping for a definitive before I buy her an almost 400$ trigger. Has anyone had success using the above combo?

Side not she bought the ARV and now I want one. I’m just waiting for the builders kit cuz I’d like to use a Ballistic advantage barrel. Anywho we put almost 300 rounds of 124 AAC through it with no problem. Just ordered her more PSA mags.

Yes. I use an SSA-E in mine. Dont pay $400. They regularly have them on sale. I imagine maybe a valentines sale/st pattys day sale may be coming.

Welcome to the forums @alfredcam1269 :cowboy_hat_face:

Has anyone tried a TriggerTech trigger in AR-V?

Welcome to the PSA community @courts4017 :us:

I’m going to preface this by saying that I don’t have an AR-V myself but I have several AR style PCC variants. I was steered away from using Geissele triggers in my PCC builds by Geissele themselves. I like them in my other caliber ARs but even on their website they added a disclaimer to avoid them in blowback ARs. They recommended the ALG ACT triggers (Geissele’s sister company).
Here’s a screenshot from Geissele’s website:

So why don’t they recommend them? Not really sure, the CS rep just said the hammer will fail. I understand their hammers are not hardened to deal with the impact from the blowback bolt, some users reported the hammer getting peened. Other people with Colt pattern bolts reported no issues while the Glock/Hybrid pattern bolts had the problem. Is an AR-V a Colt pattern bolt? Maybe it would be fine then?

Thank You
