Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bravo AR triggers

I installed a this Bravo trigger group in my Bushmaster QRC because the factory trigger was kind of gritty. It's slickern snot on the doorknob.

I see a few Mil-Spec trigger groups out there going for $200+. But I don't see how they could be much better than these. I think some people buy those cassette type trigger groups because they're intimidated by the idea of fumbling around while installing a Mil-Spec type trigger group.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that these Bravo company triggers are as good as I need for $70. I highly recommend them if you've got a gritty trigger on your AR and you're looking to upgrade without hurting your wallet too badly.

Basic milspec nickel boron triggers are the best bang for the buck in AR triggers IMO.

Both of my BCM's have their triggers, which I have not and will not swap out. I find them to be quite acceptable. All of my other ARS have SSA-E's.

How do they compare to a PSA EPT? I find EPTs to be pretty good for a mil spec trigger. I have several higher end cartridge triggers like triggertech adaptables in my hunting and accuracy builds but in my more rugged defense ARs I like the reliability and hard hitting of milspec type triggers.

Sometimes my higher end triggers won't ignite harder primers like no41s. I need to try some different springs in some ept's and try one of these bcm's. I could get by pretty well with one if I caught get the weight under 4 pounds.

For years my favorite ar triggers were the rock river 2 stage varmint triggers.i still run a few RR 2 stage varmints and can still shoot some good groups with them.

Would these be single stage or two stage triggers?

Sale price now about 65 bucks…………Think I might need one?

single stage

LOL

2 stage La Rue MBT or RRA NM trigger. Those are real triggers at similar prices. Safe too. Light pulls. Crisp with no movement generally.

Why anyone would want a single stage when you can get these is beyond me.

YMMV obviously.

I just wanted a good mil-spec trigger. The trigger that came on it was pretty rough. My AR is pretty basic. A two stage trigger seems a bit exotic to put on a base AR.

I don't know. The Bravo trigger is a very noticeable improvement over the original.

This^^^^^

What's the difference between a two stage trigger and triggers on many firearms that have "take up"?

Like that $99 SKS I used to have. I guess it had a two stage trigger. The trigger moved about 3/16" before it started pulling off of the sear,..lol.

I didn't know it was a design feature. I just thought it was a floppy trigger.

Correct

Do trigger work in gun?

Me want to like gun.

It is a good upgrade for what you want.

Calling the 2-stage exotic is bit of a stretch.

I won't be changing it out. The scope I put on the rifle doesn't have a battery in it, either.

I guess I'm an AR Luddite.

In fact, I've been seriously pondering getting one of these. I'll need to put a 3 prong flash hider on it, however.

You’re better than this………………………..

Bristoe, if you can find an old Colt SP-1, grab it. Light weight, quite accurate and very reliable. Mine doesn't have the forward assist, but frankly, I've never missed it.

I'm quite sure I would have fun shooting an old Colt AR. I'd hate to see what one is selling for these days. I've been toying around with the idea of assembling an old school, triangular hand guard AR. But authentic type parts are hard to find and just an original set of furniture for one is fairly pricey.

Then Harrington Richards started manufacturing retro ARs and they get pretty good reviews--assembled from decent parts, evidently.

Palmetto is selling them.

Well, they were on those exotic M98 Mausers, and M1 Garands, and the M1A. So you can see where he's coming from, right?


Seriously Bristoe - next AR - embrace the second stage, you'll like it.

Anything Bravo Company puts out is going to be good stuff.
Good outfit.

PSA has them for sale right now for $39.99. A few years back they ran a lot of sales for $29.99. At that price they’re a bargain. I can’t tell a difference between the PSA and BCM ones. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re the same ones sold under different names.

Perfect for leaning in a corner and never seeing use.

LOL

The forward assist makes them fully automatic and capable of shooting a much more powerful bullet...

I saw that on the news...

Who would you not want that important feature?

It looks like a fun range toy to me. That's the main reason I want it. The standard buttstock and the triangle fore-end makes me believe that it would set on the bags very well. Also, Brownells sells a well made replica of the Colt 4X scope that mounts on the top handle. But they stay sold out a lot. I assembled a lower and put an A2HB upper on it many years ago. It was a tack driver, but heavier than I wanted an AR to be.

My 5.56 rifles get shot a bit. I don't realize how much until it's time to process my brass and load up another batch.

I actually like those A1 configurations too.

The airsoft I use for LARPing has an original A1 Harrington and Richardson lower with BCM internals and an 11.5” BCM upper.

I bumped into the same configuration with a Hydro-Matic lower the other day. The Cadillac. LOL

I am tempted.

Ed, I know the feeling,

Sons of Liberty has 30% off on a particular M4 platform,,,,,,,

I don’t need it, but I’ve added it and emptied the cart at least 3 times this morning……

That's a good price on an A2. As mentioned earlier, I assembled a RRA lower and bought an A2 barreled upper to put on it many years ago. It was a real shooter.

I think it cost me about $600 way back when--and that was buying a stripped lower and assembling it myself.

Tell ya what. I'll be very surprised if it weighs in at 6.5 pounds like the specs say. I'm betting it weighs about 8.5 pounds. That light barrel, short gas Bushmaster QRC I've got weighs in at about 6 pounds with aftermarket, lightweight handguards and buttstock-- and that's about as light as you can get an AR without getting all skeleton and titanium with the components.

Still, it's a great price on an A2.

The PSA is an A3 upper with the removable carry handle. Not a true A2.

I suppose it's good to have the flat top option if you want to add optic.

Looks like the one EdM posted has the removable handle.
