The Timney Targa Two-Stage Short 662S-ST is a self-contained two-stage drop-in trigger with a straight shoe for AR-15 and M4 pattern rifles.
A two-stage trigger with a short first act — the Targa 662S-ST compresses match take-up into a faster, tighter pull.
The Timney Targa Two-Stage Short 662S-ST is built around a deliberately shortened first stage: you still get the two-stage benefits — a staged prep, a defined wall, a crisp second-stage break — but with less travel between touch and shot. For shooters who find traditional two-stages leisurely, the Targa Short is the persuasive middle ground between staged control and single-stage speed.
The straight shoe adds modern press mechanics, and the self-contained drop-in module carries Timney's hand calibration to your lower unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which AR lowers does the Targa 662S-ST fit?
It's a drop-in two-stage unit for AR-15/M4 pattern lower receivers. Confirm your trigger pin size before ordering, since AR lowers are built in both small and large pin patterns and the wrong one simply won't go in. If you can't tell from your receiver's documentation, contact us with the make and model.
What does 'short' mean in the Targa's name?
It refers to the short-pull design: the trigger travels less overall than a conventional two-stage, so the take-up and reset happen over a shorter distance. Shooters running fast strings often prefer that, as there's less finger movement between shots. You still get the two-stage feel of a defined first stage and a wall.
How does a two-stage compare with a single-stage on an AR?
A two-stage lets you take up the slack and hold against the wall while you settle the sights, then break with a small extra press; a single-stage gives one uninterrupted pull. Two-stage triggers suit deliberate, accuracy-focused shooting, while some shooters prefer the simplicity of single-stage. Which suits you comes down to the sort of shooting you do rather than one being better made than the other.
Straight or curved shoe — which should I pick?
This is the straight-shoe 662S-ST, which keeps your finger position consistent whatever the depth of your grip. The curved-shoe 662S is the same trigger with a traditional bow. Beyond that choice, nothing extra needs buying as the unit uses your existing receiver pins.
