I'm no fan of the blade, but the creep is unacceptable.If you hate the accu-trigger blade then by all means replace the trigger. However, if it's just pulling too heavy, you can likely replace the trigger spring with a McArbo for about $20 shipped. Super easy install.

Roger that and just trying to save a guy a c-note.Only downside to the spring, if you have a trigger like mine was (long, heavy & gritty pull) all it changes is the weight.
The Timney is like a glass rod. No creep, hardly any over travel & a beautiful break.
Can't fault you for that!Roger that and just trying to save a guy a c-note.
I just swapped out the springs on a 5.56 ranch rifle and 6.5 creed Predator. I was pretty impressed with the difference it made for a cheap and easy swap. Way better than the stock spring and made the trigger pull feel more crisp to me.If you hate the accu-trigger blade then by all means replace the trigger.

In my experience, Ruger are pretty cool about answering questions over the phone. I'd definitely call & check cross compatability before spending Timney money.
Timney replied to my email and told me their American trigger will not work in the Gen 2, but their engineers are on it and a replacement will be coming shortly. Good news
On another note, I've called Ruger a few times at two different locations and still can't get through to a human. Kind of frustrating...
Thaaaat's what it was that I read!From what I understand, the Gen 1 triggers will work, it will just make the safety into a two-position, rather than the three-position that the Gen 2 is designed with.
There's the answer I've been searching for! I wondered if that was the only difference. I'll order one today. Many thanksFrom what I understand, the Gen 1 triggers will work, it will just make the safety into a two-position, rather than the three-position that the Gen 2 is designed with.
Interesting, I'll give that a try. I had the adjustment screw in by just a few threads and the trigger was still at 4.13 lbs. I'd say there is at least .012-.015 of creep that I can see while adjusting.I just removed the spring completely from my Gen 1. Massive improvement. I may pick up the M-Carbo spring just to have something in there, but I haven't seen the need yet.
