Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles AR Trigger Job?

Out of the box, mine would bind. I had to adjust on it a with with a file, and now it's very consistent and clean breaking. However, considering what I payed for it, I shouldn't of had to do any rework.

The machine work on mine was not very pretty either. A buddy of mine picked one up and it looked like a work of fine art and worked perfect out of the box. I think Jewel has some very inconsistent quality control on the AR line.

Since Bill figured out AR triggers, I would look no further than a cheap RRA or any of Bills offerings.

I have known Bill for years, we talked at Perry often enough, and he was around ARs enough to know what was working and what was not on triggers and then decided to step in with his own ideas, and those have been well recieved.

If we were still shooting, I"m sure that a lot of our guns would have Bills triggers.

Only other one I've pulled that made me happy was Milazzo. Still have a few of those, and even those need a tweak from time to time. Obviously that happens when you run around 20K rounds a year through them.

i had this nut job ruin two of my AR triggers.went full auto at my local range.Trashed it..never again

There are too many good triggers for under a hundred to mess with "trigger jobs."

My current go to is the Larue MBT-2s for $87

LaRue MBT and thank me later

Beat like a rented mule.

Itchy trigger finger. Ive only had 1 double and that was my geiselle SSAE when it was in my AR10 308. Pulled it and put it in my Noveske and it does just fine.

Anyone tried any of the Rise Armament triggers? They are usually found around $100.

Got one, haven't ran it hard but it seems ok. Breaks clean, poundage is probably accurate, mine seems a little gritty on the reset. If I had it to do over again, I would probably pay an extra 20 or 30 bucks for a Velocity. Or pay 20 bucks less and get the Larue. YMMV

Thanks, that’s good info to have. I tried a Bullmoose trigger with Kaw Valley springs and a grip screw adjuster. It’s pretty crisp with just a little take up but the pull weight is about 4.25-4.5lb. May consider an upgrade at some point.

Agree with the LaRue, VERY GOOD in every aspect, and best I've seen for the money.

Absolutely this. There are issues with trigger jobs on ARs related to the outer heat-treat- get into the softer inner metal and things can quickly wear to the point of being unsafe.

Exactly. Wear though the surface hardening with a stone or file and it renders the trigger garbage. Prone to wear very quickly..

I love my SSA-E, I have one Franklin binary that's kinda fun but sucks for precision, I had a CMC in an AR10 that I liked, a RR, don't know what is in my BCM pistol but it's not bad.

Point is there are lots of good options. Watch for sales.

I’m just glad we got an update on Barnie’s triggers after five years.

I put a LaRue MBT in one of my AR's. It is not quit as good as the Geissele that came in my LaRue PredATar, but it is almost as good and good enough and lots cheaper. Try it, you will like it.

Any thoughts on Jard?

Have not pulled a Jard that made me happy. Don't like single stage in an AR anyway. That said I've not pulled a JARD that wasn't better than factory.
