Some people ask why you might want to change the trigger in your AR. I explain that with trigger control being one of the important fundamentals of shooting and that a standard AR has an two stage trigger with 5-8 lb pull, you might want to change that stock trigger to help you improve your trigger control.
In this video I show you how to replace the stock trigger with a Timney 667s. This is a single stage trigger that is set to break at 3 lbs. I like Timney because this is a one piece unit that is simple to install along with having a crisp clean break every time at 3lbs. Timney has been building great rifle triggers for over 60 years.
When exploring the different triggers, it’s important to find a product that is right for you and your needs. Here are the main differences between the two-stage and the single-stage replacement triggers.
What are Single-Stage Triggers?
Single-stage triggers are the traditional product for the avid user. They’re designed to operate in one smooth range of motion allowing you to pull the trigger through to release the pin. It’s simple and there are no gimmicks involved in the use of single-stage triggers. Many find single-stage triggers easier to adjust and with a clean break in the trigger action.
What are Two-Stage Triggers?
Two-stage triggers have an operating process that involves two distinct phases of firing. The advantage of this style of design is that it allows the user to know exactly when the firing will take place. They know that once they set the trigger after the first phase, the gun will fire. Instead of breaking and firing as part of one process, you hit a break wall within the firing of the weapon. Immediately following this break wall, the weapon discharges. Knowing when the trigger is going to break gives you the advantage in terms of accuracy over your target. You’ll be able to time your shots more effectively, and mitigate issues with balance and unsteady grips that can limit some weapons.
How to Choose Between the Two
In choosing between single-stage replacement triggers and two-stage triggers, it’s important to determine what you want from the weapon. The single-stage triggers work well for those who require a fast action pull with reliable performance, while the two-stage triggers are effective for target practice in high stress scenarios.

Thank you for this video.
Ty
Took me 5 minutes with this video. Very well done
Nice yachtmaster
need to see it done on the actual lower receiver. thanks for the time wasted.
So I could Mike the pins and hand drill the holes if need be
Can I put the Palma to state armory triger in my stag arms ar 15
It appears from the difficulties shown here that avoiding Timney triggers would be a bullseye hit.
Thanks!
Love the trigger… but that second set of set screws is totally whacked. I have been wrestling with the last one for an HOUR.
Thanks for the info about getting with Timney about the plate for the bottom, to protect from the set screws!!
Good video. Very helpful. Can you recommend a Timney trigger for the M&P 15-22? It has polymer lower. Subscribed.
Super shakey
Thanks much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video. That’s much.
Just a heads up for anyone planning on installing this. Purchase the Antirolling Trigger and Hammer Pin Kit, purchasing the Timney Trigger. Though, this is an excellent aftermarket trigger. The pins roll when using this trigger. If you don't get the anti rolling pin kit, the pins will eventually work their way out sooner or later. Unless, you have great eyes, you probably won't find the pins after they fall out. Spend the extra $35 now, and save yourself an outrageously amount of headache. Other than that, you'll absolutely love this trigger.
Definitely not the worst instructional I've ever seen but fuck me man you just skipped over and ignored half of the shit most of us are confused about haha Like the set screws you never explained or how the trigger was "Not flush" before you installed it. I love ya Carl but this should of been up to the Tactical Rifleman standards of norm. Lol
Yet another use for a woobie!
Came to see a swap.on a real rifle on to see that
Love how he picks up the spring so easily on a skeletonized hand guard. Yea not so easy on a real one. Great video even with that part.
There's a grenade launcher on that rifle in the background lol
Very good
Excellent video!
Perfect video, great demo, just what I needed. Thanks!
Getting those hammer springs outa the way sure is easy when you have a skeletonized demo to use.. now how about for the ppl that are putting it in their actual rifles?
Very good tutorial on installation. Good job. Thank you.
Thank you .
I wasn’t sure about the bottom set screws . They should be flush .
Moving the legs of the springs out of the way for the top screws worked like you said .
I had no problem putting this trigger in .
How ever , the pistol grip always takes me a little longer to do .
I now have a 3 lb trigger in my Grendel build .
GREAT VIDEO! Best one of all I researched to install my Timney Gold trigger, this video made the job a breeze. Thank you!
Is that a submariner?
Curious as to why they used the original anti-walk pins when new ones came with the new trigger.
A standard AR has a single stage trigger.
Hello, I am new to the ar platform and I bought a budget lower to start as a learning curve. It's an Anderson stripped lower, I see allot of people print in Anderson's trigger group and I was wondering if I could go with a different brand like the timney?
I just ordered a Timney 3 pound AR15 trigger, and I can't wait to get it and try it out! I accidentally ordered the PCC trigger at first, not realizing that was a Pistol Caliber Carbine trigger.
Would a Timney like this fit a Left handed Stag 10? Looks to me like it wouldn't matter, looks pretty symmetrical.
An excellent video. Clear and concise delivery of your instructions. Made it so this old crayon eater could even understand.
Thank you, good Sir.
Thanks for the Info on How to replace the AR15 Trigger
What brand of pistol grip do you have on that AR plz
How to replace "an" AR trigger. Nice video 👌
Thanks again for your detailed install. One of the best and we'll thought out video.
