For my AR15s I used an X-treme trigger. I have had some strong favorable comments from many when they try it and the AMU guys that weighted my trigger at Perry were surprised when I told them what I had.

For my AR10 I was going to change out the Armalite AR10 NM trigger with an X-treme. Armalite said try it first(their NM trigger) as they worked hard on it and feel it is one of the best. Well I have 2 Armalite NM triggers and feel they are one of the best, every bit as good as my X-treme.

So my suggestion is a NM Armalite AR10 trigger or an X-treme. Many will tell you to go to the Giessle(sp) but I prefer hard forged vs hard faced. X-treme is hard forged.

I'd avoid JARD if I were you. I put a JARD trigger group into my AR-10 build and it has been troublesome t say the least.

Could you elaborate on the hard face versus hard forged? I saw a picture of an Armalite hammer broke in half on another forum thread with suggestions they were mim parts?
I have the basic trigger in my AR-10 and it seems to work fine for me, it breaks crisp and I prefer a little more pull weight for something intended for tactical work and hunting. :twocents:

Geissele

Have played with the others, some are cheaper, none are better.
