Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Drop-in triggers for ARs.

That is sort of true. ...but can you preload a single stage to 3-3/4 lbs consistently? I certainly can't. I take that back. I coach junior sport air rifles. Some of the untuned Daisy triggers have a mile of creep, and some have a repeatable "hitch" just before it breaks. I can use that as a hold/stop before I bust it.
It's easier to add that last 3/4 lb on demand than it is to add 4-1/2 lb on demand. That 3-3/4 lb you're holding on the first stage fades into the background and is a non issue. I don't know a single Service Rifle competitor that shoots a single stage anymore.

MontanaMan,
That is 180 deg counter to my experience. I had to go check the KAC webpage to see if the trigger design is the same. The few pics I could find look like a rougher version of what I have. Mine were made in Vero Beach. FWIW, when GD Tubb ran a large frame AR, he felt the KAC Trigger had the best feel. I'll try to get some pics up.

That's interesting; as far as I know, all 3 of the ones I have were built in Titusville & are not special in any way, so far as the build goes.

The LPR was one of the very last MOD 1's to be built with the heavier Kreiger 18" barrel before they lightened it & changed it to a MOD 2, & I'm not sure they still use Kreiger barrels exclusively anymore either. The trigger was way better than any stock trigger, but not quite as good as a higher end Geiselle..........it's better now as I cleaned it up a bit & put a lighter trigger spring in it, but it's in another gun now.

The other 2 are just run-of the mill 16", SR-15's; one is a MOD 1, one is a MOD 2. Triggers in both of those were not quite as good as the trigger in the LPR, but still waaaaaaaaaaaay better than a stock AR type trigger & are perfectly fine for a tactical or home defense weapon.

Best guns available IMO................they just flat out work, everyday, all day.

I've never felt, and read that right, FELT, that a single stage 4.5 feels the same as the 2nd stage of a 4.5.

All there is to that, is MY FEELING, well that and most others I shot with.

YMMV of course.

No disagreement with that, but I didn't say a 2 stage trigger feels the same as a single stage. How do you completely miss what I said there?

You keep saying 4.5 is 4.5... at least thats the way I quickly glanced at and read...

After 11 pages, you'd think we are all now educated on drop in triggers..

Ha Ha! Well, not as bad as the Deer Hunting forum where some misfits from another forum have filled 107 pages over a theoretical change to WI crossbow season.
