Replacement trigger for M&P 15-22?

[Patton63]

Anyone replaced the trigger on their M&P 15-22. I understand that it will take a standard AR trigger group and am considering replacing the somewhat heavy/gritty trigger on mine with something like a Jard drop-in.

Just curious if anyone has replaced their triggers and, if so, what you used.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I've run a M&P15-22 with the Wilson Combat TTU trigger, and it worked great. Its amazing how my better these rifles "shoot" when you get a decent trigger in them!

Great thing about the TTU is the ease of installation. The time I shot the M&P15-22 with it, we simply removed it from my AR15, and stuck it in the M&P15-22 for the range session. Its that simple.

I used a Rock River 2-stage that I had in the "parts bin" and it works great! I did change out the hammer & trigger springs, using the original S&W spring set. Though I did not try the original RR spring set, it seemed like a logical move as the S&W originals are a might weaker.

The concern was twofold:
o .22 RF overcoming the stronger hammer spring (supplied with the RR) at point of firing/blow-back.
o the hammer driving the FP through the case rim into the barrel face when the trigger is pulled.

Timney has the drop in triggers. Supposed to be good.

Spike's Battle Trigger - $59.95, JP Reduced Power Spring Kit $10. It's not a target rifle so nothing more is needed. Or buy the springs and polish the parts yourself.

Thanks for your thoughts. I ended up putting in a Timney drop-in trigger system. I took it to the range today and it was really a nice change from the factory trigger.
