The AR gun nuts at work are moving from Geissele to LaRue because of the price point and are happy with how they shoot, but I have no personal experience. https://www.larue.com/products/larue-tactical-mbt-2s-trigger/

Lots of resent trigger on the market.

If your jumping up to next level $. Timney pof cmc are all solid choices.

Hop on you tube and bust out some sand paper, invest in a small file kit. For $20 you can get a file kit and play with sand paper. I've been pretty amazed what a guy can do with those basics... if you don't like it you can still buy one.Agreed
They also sell replacement springs,
Enhanced trigger, for fraction of cost that sand paper can do wonders.

Being a bolt gun guy Karl, I would think you would like one of the 3lb single stage drop ins?🤷♂️ That’s what I will be putting in my Grendel if I ever finish it!🤦♂️right that was gonna be my initial purchase but then got digging into the bottomless pit of AR crap lol. I'm not so concerned about the price tag but dont wanna spend 2 bills if 1 will get me the same thing kind of deal

Another vote for the LaRue. :tup: Good guys to support.apparently I'm buying a larue from dan-o but may end up with a triggertech, timney, or cnc too :chuckle:

Polishing my mil spec trigger took it down to 3.5 lbs. took about half hour. It’s not as nice as my timmeny but cut the pull weight to less than half.If people got money to burn 🔥
But I got no problem sanding and polishing ar trigger.Just like changing a tire. :tup:

You can find $500 ARs that will shoot sub-moa out of the box. But there seems to be a lingering myth that you need a $200 trigger to print clover holes.
I also think 2 stage triggers are weird on a semi but that's just a personal preference.

Triggers make all the difference in the world. I shoot well north of 5k rounds of centerfire a year. There is no argument that can be made that will convince me that a light, crisp trigger will not improve accuracy over a sloppy stiff trigger. A good trigger can take an moa rifle and shrink it to half
Well no one is going to argue that light and crisp is equal to sloppy and stiff.
But there are decent stock triggers out there so for some people it won't make a difference if they spend $200.
It all depends on what you are starting with.

Well I went ahead and bought dan-o's extra larue and I also ordered a cmc 2.5lb single stage. Whichever she likes better I'll leave in her lower and then i'll toss the other in my prairie dog rifle to replace the polished mil spec one that's in it ;) thanks for all the suggestions everyone :tup:
I am sure you already know this,
Going from a stock trigger to a CMC or any 2.5 lb single, can cause unexpected premature discharges!
I have seen this many times at the range. Always seems to be within the first couple range trips, before they get use to the light break.

The 3.5# CMC trigger is the only reason I tolerated my last AR. :tup:my 2.5 cmc gets here Monday. I'm anxious to see how it performs. Maybe someday my midget kids will fit real guns but for now the AR platform has been an incredible tool to utilize

I am a trigger snob, but this LaRue does not suck.If you are a trigger snob you need to try a Timney Calvin Elite or an AR Gold... :)

I'm interested in hearing how well you like that 2.5lb CMC trigger. I don't think CMC had a 2.5lb single stage when I bought my 3-3.5lb CMC triggers but I've been very happy with the ones I have and they always feel a little lighter than they are. I may have to look into getting one of these 2.5lb triggers from them.

with how nice and smooth she is pulling this larue on our dry fire drilling in the living room I think regardless I am just gonna dump the cmc in my prairie dog rifle. I sure hope it's as good as I think a $150 trigger should be :chuckle:The 3.5# CMC trigger is the only reason I tolerated my last AR. :tup:my 2.5 cmc gets here Monday.

Did you get a chance to spend any time behind that CMC 2.5lb trigger and if so what are your thoughts and how does it compare to others you've tried/used???

I bought mine from Joeboboutfitters.com. They have some fantastic deals on triggers.

Karl, is the larue breaking at about 4.5 lbs? The mbt 2s?Mine breaks consistently at 3.5 ( with the light spring)
Post by: SGTDuffman on May 11, 2019, 09:06:16 PM
I personally shy away from any of the drop in assembly types. Though I hope they never get used for it, al of my guns are built to function as defensive guns. I won’t sacrifice reliability for anything. I like having good triggers, but I’ll only buy something comparable in design or durability to a Mil Spec trigger. The SSA is a battle proven (the select fire variant is issued to SOCCOM) design for a quality trigger.
