Love how Geissele includes a slave pin with their triggers...definitely helpful. Great video Caleb!
Just installed a Brownell's BG-C in my Rifle and the Trigger kit did not include a slave pin. With some creative punch usage and words that are not spoken the Trigger was installed. I also installed a Radian Talon Safety as well. One tip when installing these together. Put the safety Lever together then install the Trigger and Hammer before installing the detent and spring and Hand Grip. Just a little something I dealt with while installing the assemblies. I had to move things around and use my small punch as a guide pin on my Trigger. Once in place Shazam all is well and works as advertised. Like the videos they are helpful, and You remove the mystery when it comes to the inner workings of AR Platform. You helped an Old Man tune his Rifle.
The Brownell BG-C also comes with two trigger springs for 4 lbs and 3.2 lbs so be sure to use the one you want. The 4 lbs spring comes installed on the trigger and the 3.2 lbs spring is loose in the bag. I also found it easier to install the safety after installing the trigger and before installing the hammer. Really not difficult to install though.
How convenient! Just bought one of these for my first AR build
Same, which one did you choose? I went with the SD3G 💨
@@Doubleohcasper I just went with their G2S trigger since I really dont have the experience to be able to fully embrace the added benefit of a more advanced trigger system like the 3 gun triggers, ssae, etc. However, its a great basic 2 stage trigger for someone like me and still offers Geissele’s quality standards 🤙
@@shesonthehill4206I bought the 5-400 single stage trigger for my build
Thank you for this. Made this much less complicated.
The only thing I would consider doing differently is apply the lube before installing as it is easier to reach some of the surfaced with the trigger group outside the rifle. In this video it was mentioned using your thumb to hold the hammer as it is released but it should be stressed that allowing the hammer to strike the lower can damage the lower. I shove a rag inside the lower in front of the hammer to soften the hammer blow if I am going to test it multiple times. Most triggers do not come with smooth pin for the trigger installing. It is not required and typically no harder to line up than the hammer.
Thank you Caleb. Literally installing my ssa-e x trigger while watching. Coffee and rewind is helping!!! Can’t wait to feel it.
This was perfect timing! The Geissele SSA that I ordered from you guys came a few days ago and I'll be installing this weekend. Thanks for the video!
This is amazing. Thank you for the work you do, and for such clean, professional, and informative videos.
I love my SSA-E great trigger!
Excellent demonstration thank you made a lot easier for me
Thank you for your excellent videos.
Thank you sir! Just did this on my DB15.
For anyone watching this - you can’t upgrade your SSA to an SSA-E with just a swap of the springs - but you can upgrade and SSA-X to and SSA-E-X just by installing the “SSAE-X Spare Spring Kit Part#08-409”
Great video Thankyou
The Geissele G2S (1) does not come with a slave pin, and (2) has a round spring clip that goes onto the right side of the hammer. This clip holds the hammer pin in place, not a center one inside the hammer. One must put this onto the hammer before putting it in, and it can be fiddly. I found after doing a number of them that the Geissele grease on that side of the hammer around the hole helps hold it on. In addition, Geissele makes a tool that can be used to help install the trigger and hammer. You push it all the way through from the left side and then follow it back out with the trigger and hammer pin from the right side. Tool is a stainless steel rod slightly smaller in diameter than a pin with a black knob on it to help hold, manipulate it to line things up, and push on it.
can hardly believe he's not using the tool in this video. and grease first
Funny that's how alot of my ars were born cause I had some parts and saw some idea , love it 👍
Just to be clear.
This process is the same for the majority of mil-spec type triggers regardless of the manufacturer.
Not to be confused with cassette trigger packs.
Stay classy my friends.
Great Stuff 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Living in the midwest has rubbed off on Caleb with that ope
Installed a ssp single stage flat trigger and man that thing had me fight for my life because I couldn’t get that pin in. Super light trigger compared to what I’m used to and honestly makes me a little nervous but I’m sure that’ll go away with range time😂😂
Many thanks.
Geissele instructions say this can be done with the safety installed. Caleb evidently knew better. Certainly MUCH easier without the safety, in fact I doubt it can be done at all with the safety as you can't get spring out of the vertical enough to compress it. Also, the first step in the instructions is the spring replacement. I wanted the lighter spring and so I did that before I knew the pin was removable, so I damaged the springs getting it changed. Pin removal comes after spring replacement in the instructions; that's just wrong. Worst of all, there's no diagram identifying the parts mentioned in the instructions, beyond hammer and disconnector. It's installed, and it's working, but it could have been a lot better experience.
Huh, I just finished installing mine. I left the safety installed like the instructions said. I was done in about 5 minutes
I installed mine with the safety. No issues.
My trigger no go bang. The engagement surfaces get stuck on each other after reset. I have to open it up and push the trigger part down to separate the stuck part and then i can pull the trigger. This is on a full BCM AR15 with SSP trigger
I would have greesed the trigger an hammer holes where the pins go thru the sear and all the catch notches
I'm guessing it will be the same for a Daniel Defense DD5 (.308), correct?
Thanks.
what ambi mag release is that
I love her triggers but I wish she was still with Tom.
Have Bill call you.
👍🇺🇲
Hey guys I’m putting in a ambi safety the same time as the trigger would it be the best desc to install the trigger first ? Are will it matter ? Thank you in advance
If you watch the video, he clearly says that it's recommended that you install the trigger BEFORE the safety. Now he didn't say you can't install the trigger with the safety already installed. Unfortunately, I already installed my safety/grip. Which sucks because I need to now uninstall it and I'm leary of that spring and detent might go shooting off into the nether. SIGH
Either you guys founded a new city called Motezuma, or you forgot a letter N on your rollmark...
Looks like blem BRN-180s are not going out of supply just yet!
I snagged that one personally as a blem on some of the first production samples, needless to say the sample was not correct lol.
Hey guys I’m going to install a ambi safety at the exact same time as im going to install a geissele SSA E trigger . What one should I install first ? Does it matter ? Thank you for any advice .
Do them both at the same time. Remove the grip, remove the old selector and trigger. From here install the new trigger, ambi selector then put the grip back on.
@@brownells thank you very much
@@brownellsthank you for the video and advice. Trigger went in perfectly. This video. Was what really helped with the install . Thank you again .
I have a LWRCI IC DI that has an ambidextrous safety system.... For the life of me I can't figure out how to remove it to install the geissele trigger. I loosened the grip yet the safety lever refuses to move.
there is pin that holds the right side lever on. You have to drive that pin out and remove the right side selector lever, then the selector will come out of the left side after you loosen the grip enough to drop down the detent and spring. Daniel Defense has a screw that makes it a little easier.
The cost of triggers is triggering.
Got the $65 BCM PNT trigger, next is a $100 Rise Armament and Geissele
@@albertptran I have two BCM PNT triggers the rest are mil-spec. Definitely an improvement. I have yet to go Geissele. I don't need a trigger that is half the cost of the build.
@@panzerabwerkanone tell me you like poverty ponies without telling me you like poverty ponies...
I have to get one of them blocks smh 🤦🏻♂️ installed my super 3 gun and it was a pain without one
Excellent triggers without having to adjust this or that like a drop in.. 2 piece the way God and Eugene Stoner intended..
Does anybody hear him say "destructions" instead of "instructions"? This is the 2nd video where I noticed that.
I heard "destructions" too. Probably because the "instructions" are next to worthless; otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for a video like this to exist; right?
Bought a new SSA-E for 40 bucks at a pawnshop 😂🙏
geissele is over-priced unless you want to pay for arrogance
This is exactly why LaRue priced his trigger the way he did....Giessle is way overpriced
Nah, I just like to pay for nicer things.
I have probably 6 geissele triggers now.... Never payed more than 125 each max.
@TerminalM193 can I ask where you got them? The lowest-priced ones I saw were 159, and most are 250+. Looked on optics planet, brownells, midsouth shooter supply, midway usa and Natchez.
@@captnmark Just keep an eye out for sales. I picked up a SSA-E for 120 shipped this past Black Friday.
Didn't get any.lube with my trigger. Is it just basic gun oil?
