I am not sure but if Mark leaves them at that price he will destroy Geissele's sales of the SSA and SSA-E I would think unless someone really, really dislikes some aspect of the MBT.

Ya know, come to think of it, besides the MBT, are there any other "Solid S7 Billet" triggers being made ?



Yes


Well, are we competitive?



Nope.  EuRal Tactical makes a TBM for $50

I wondered about that. Not enough to take mine out and really look at it.



It would make a awful lot of waste to carve the bow part out of solid billet.

The G2S and Brownells G triggers will also suffer. I am glad Geissele has its other triggers and other products to fall back on if the SSA &SSA-E sales take hit.

Bill triggers aren't going anywhere. SSF is still on big government contract, SSA-E is used by the AMU. Anytime you have big military contracts backing you, it's a huge vote of confidence for a civilian gun market.




I think the MBT will be a success, but I don't think it'll be the most highly recognized trigger.

Guys what is going on here is what you see when a company direct sells vs selling through distribution.

A $125 MBT sold the way Bill sells his would be $200 retail if the margin was 37.5%. Mark has cut out the middle man which has kind of backed Bill into a corner as far as retail. Mark is giving everyone "wholesale" pricing. If Bill did the same it would cut the neck of the businesses who sell him product.

This also cuts the procieved "value" of both triggers down.

If Mark had held the "retail" price, both his and Bills would have sold. Both are "worth" $200 retail.

Mark could do the same thing with the guns he builds since he doesn't sell through distribution.

The $2245 ORB 5.56 16", Mark could sell for $1403 applying the math from his trigger. Or the $3370 7.62 ORB he could sell for $2106. He won't do that though

I'm not saying he should either.

Which makers have a trigger in an M gun?  Geiselle has SOCOM's M-4 family of weapons and KAC has the 7.62 gas guns.

Other makers have nice triggers.  Only KAC and G have triggers that have gone through the T&E that those triggers have seen and passed.




Do you honestly think a tool steel trigger would not pass? Really?




There is so much more to a trigger mech than mettalurgy.

Make a full auto trigger that doesn't affect rate of fire from the current mil std trigger.  Now make it pass the requisite cycles of super cold, hot, wet, dry, dirty.  Make sure the springs do their job, don't rust, etc.  

Now make sure it works the same in every M-16 ever made for the USG...

G did that.

Yep.  But to answer your question on competitiveness, @ $125 the MBT would be my default choice and recommendation to others.  I get lots of people who have 1 AR or their second AR asking "what trigger..."  Those guys inevitably don't want to spend what I'm willing to spend on a truly premium trigger.  The CMC is often on sale for $130, is very good for that price point, has both curved and flat options, and is easy for them to install, and I have a couple myself so it's usually what I recommend when it's on sale.

An MBT at $125, and that's out the window.

How the F does single unit triggers like CMC stay in place? I wonder because all other triggers like Larue, Geissele and use their own string tension on the trigger pins to hold the pins and trigger parts in place? But CMC triggers can't do that because it's all self contained?

Like LoadedDrum said, CMCs come with KNS style pins that are captured by torx screws.

Franklin Armory's drop in actually has springs inserted into the body of the drop in to utilize normal FCG pins.  I imagine there are other drop ins that may do that as well.

Wire electro discharge machine. Basically uses a wire running between 2 points like a super precision bandsaw that can cut in all directions.

$125 was a recent sales price. It's also the price in a print add that will be published soon.

They have always been that way as far as I know. The POF comes with KNS but CMC has always had the clips I thought. The clips are external.
