AR15 trigger required or a hammer for 2 stage geisselle

The rear lug has sheared off the hammer of my Geissele 2 stage trigger. Geisselle have refused to acknowledge it is one of their triggers so I'm pooped on lifetime warranty. I need a cheap replacement hammer or a complete trigger mech. Even a standard AR trigger would do for now until funds allow me to buy something better. Any advice appreciated.
Paul.

Have you spoken to your supplier?

Paul, how on earth can Geisselle have refused to acknowledge it is one of their triggers if it's a Geisselle trigger? I don't get that. TBH mate unless a two stage trigger is a must for you I'd go with a Timney trigger for your AR. I have three AR's all with 2 - 3lb triggers in them and I couldn't be happier plus they take five minutes to swap out. Just a thought mate.

First port of call should be original trigger supplier. What has actually sheared. If the trigger has been used with a .22LR conversion that may have caused its failure as these triggers are not designed for use in .22LRs. Geissele are usually ok with warranty replacement parts but since the tightening of ITAR rules they no longer export direct to the UK themselves.
Try LanTac, he's the official importer for a variety of manufactures and advertises Geisesele Triggers so he might be the 'official' importer for them as well.
If not you are looking at a complete new trigger. Make sure the replacement meets the minimum weight for any competitions you want to enter.

Thanks for the advice. Yes I did use it with a .22 upper (SGC). I have included a PIC. I will contact Mr B and Lantac and see what they say. In the meantime someone has kindly offered me a factory unit to borrow from this forum. I love the shooting community. Always someone offering to help others for no personal gain. Incredible. Shooters rock!

Update.. Paul at lantac has identified it as a rock river 2 stage. Rock river won't honour warranty due to export regulations. Looks like this trigger is destined for the bin!

So what made you think it was a Geissele?

SGC and a private gunsmith both identified it as a geisselle. I haven't got a clue myself!
