In the last month or so, I've got two new LaRue OBRs - one in .308 and one in .223. They both came with the Geissele SSA combat trigger (2 stage). The trigger in the .223 is great, but in the bigger gun it has a bad creep that is driving me crazy. I'm thinking of having the trigger worked on but I've heard that some triggers just need to be broken in. Any suggestions from the more experienced? TIA

Re: Breaking In a Trigger?
Hmmmm... If I had a Geissele with creep I would call them and ask about it. Especially since you have two of the same and one feels different. There is no creep in my SSA-E once you've taken up the first stage. Maybe a pin diameter issue?
I talked to someone over there by phone before I bought my trigger and he was very helpful, give them a shout.

triggers don't break in.....they are what they are

Re: Breaking In a Trigger?
I have the same trigger in a LWRCI M6A3 DMR. I can induce creep depending on the technique I use. If I use the tip of my finger, the trigger breaks cleanly. If I use the second pad of my index finger, I can overpower the trigger slowly, producing creep. I can actually shoot more accurately with the creep because the final trigger pulls becomes lighter and I can tell the exact moment it breaks. The SSA combat trigger is not a match trigger. It resets fast, is reliable, and has a decent trigger pull.

And if your trigger breaks in, it's broken.

The only "break-in" in I have dealt with was a gritty feeling trigger from bad polishing/machining. The gritty feel finally went away once the surface rubbed itself smooth.

Call Geissele. They're good people and really stand behind their products.

Thanks for the advice. I never thought of calling Geissele.

That is how I define trigger break-in. Mine all feel better the more I use them.
I have felt creep in a geissele when the hammer spring was stronger or not matching the trigger spring. Not their fault, as I was tuning the 1st stage. It is smooth as glass now.
