SuzukiGS750EZ Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Hey guys. I'm wanting to possibly move into a "better" trigger for my M4. Everything is stock trigger group wise besides the trigger housing. I come from a pistol shooting background as well as air rifles so i'm used to lighter, faster triggers. The M4 trigger, while not "rough" is like trying to snap a pencil to me. Do the aftermarket triggers break a bit easier? Is it just the nature of a shotgun? What do you gain with an aftermarket trigger? My state isn't easy to modify the M4 due to "pistol grip" so I wouldn't be doing it for 922R compliance. Also, i read some trigger kits may require fitting with the polymer housing, which is why i state i have the aluminum A&S housing. Thank! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Doe Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Good questions. I am currently in your potion as well and in the middle of a cool build for my M4 and I am kinda stuck on the trigger issue as well. Not sure if I should send it in or have my gunsmith do a drop in etc. Would love to hear some more insight from some guys on here that are further down the road than us. I know some guys have talked about it, but I just love talking about it even more lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M2_shootr Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I have a Geissele hammer along with FFT trigger and sear. Trigger pull was reduced by 1 pound 13 ounces. I’ll admit, my original intent of replacing those parts were due to chasing 922 total. The Gazeley hammer was used because of earlier FFT hammers being deformed with use. I’m not sure if the FFT hammers are still an issue but the guys Isley hammers are, as far as I know, no longer produced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihrinwe Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Geissele hammers are unicorns now. The prices people are asking for used ones or that they add to a gun for having one is insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzukiGS750EZ Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 I don’t have a vast amount of shotguns I’ve got so I’m curious if the trigger can be improved on or if that’s just how it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes……FFT, Briley, and even the Geissele hammer improve the trigger over the stock bits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swOHmatt Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Briley’s gunsmith fit their hammer, trigger and disconnector to your trigger housing. All the others are just parts you stick in your gun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
