When building a defensive or competition AR platform, small upgrades can yield outsized improvements at the range and in training. A precise, reliable trigger is one of the most impactful parts you can swap; it changes how you interact with the rifle, how fast you can place rounds on target, and how confidently you shoot under stress. As operators and enthusiasts, we look for repeatable feel, clean breaks, and components that will endure the kind of use that separates good gear from exceptional gear.
TIMNEY TRIGGERS COMPETITION TRIGGER
Precision engineering you can feel
The TIMNEY TRIGGERS COMPETITION TRIGGER is built around one straightforward promise: an exceptionally smooth, crisp, creep-free single-stage trigger pull. That promise is backed by precision machining and hand calibration. Each unit is individually tested and calibrated by hand, so what you get is a trigger that breaks consistently at the press of a finger rather than varying from shot to shot. For defensive and competitive shooters, that predictability is everything.
Materials and workmanship
Durability starts with the right materials. All components in this trigger are captive in a lightweight, aluminum alloy housing, keeping overall weight down while maintaining rigidity. The hammer is wire-EDM machined from S7 tool steel, providing toughness and resistance to impact and wear. The EDM is cut from A2 tool steel to precise tolerances. Those details mean the internal geometry is optimized for a clean release and long service life.
Why EDM and wire-EDM matter
Using EDM manufacturing methods allows for intricate, repeatable cuts with tight tolerances. The fact that the hammer is wire-EDM machined from S7 tool steel and the EDM is cut from A2 tool steel signals a focus on both durability and repeatability. Those machining methods reduce the need for post-processing and help ensure the trigger’s internal surfaces interact the same way every cycle.
Design features that matter on the range
The TIMNEY TRIGGERS COMPETITION TRIGGER ships ready to install in your AR15 platform. It’s compatible with AR15 firearms and built with a small pin and a straight trigger — a familiar geometry for many shooters that promotes consistent finger placement and control. All components are captive in the housing, which simplifies installation and minimizes the chance of lost small parts during installation and maintenance.
Single-stage, creep-free pull
For many tactical and competition shooters, a well-tuned single-stage trigger is preferable because of its direct, predictable break. This model delivers that feel: a crisp, creep-free release that helps keep follow-up shots fast and on target. When you’re running drills or engaging targets under time pressure, that crisp break reduces thought and hesitation.
Installation and compatibility
Installation is straightforward for any gunsmith or competent armorer familiar with AR platforms. The lightweight aluminum alloy housing keeps weight low, and the captive components reduce the chance of losing pins or springs during the swap. The small pin configuration and straight trigger design maintain a natural index for shooters transitioning from standard mil-spec triggers.

Field performance, maintenance, and longevity
Field testing a trigger like this focuses on feel, repeatability, and endurance. Because each unit is hand-calibrated and precision-machined, you can expect a consistent break across thousands of cycles when properly maintained. The use of S7 tool steel for the hammer and A2 tool steel for the EDM-cut component points to a long service life under routine maintenance schedules. Light, routine lubrication and periodic inspection are all that’s required to keep this trigger performing like new.
Practical considerations
This trigger’s small pin and straight trigger profile make it a natural fit for shooters who prefer minimal changes to ergonomics while upgrading performance. Its captive components simplify takedown and reassembly for cleaning or inspection. For tactical use, the predictable single-stage break helps reduce flinch and improves shot timing under stress.
