Ya know, come to think of it, besides the MBT, are there any other "Solid S7 Billet" triggers being made ? View Quote There might be solid billet triggers on the market but I don't think they market them as such. The two "solid billet" triggers that claim to be solid billet really are not "solid". They are pieced together with bushings or screwed together. Not solid component parts by any definition. |

^^^ Here's hoping you have a good Shotshow Bill. You too Mark..........but. gotcha :) 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. |

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

So based on that ad are they going back down to $125? 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. 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. |

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. |

They were $250 when they first came out. Newly released products always cost more and you have to "pay to play". As production methods are refined and machinery is paid for then prices should come down since economy of scale should start to take over. That being said if Mark keeps them around the $150 I will probably put one in every rifle I own. That says a lot for me as I always denounced needing a better trigger than mil-spec for anything except a match rifle but at $150 or less I see no reason not to buy them.

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. |

Our billet MBTs will run and run to boredom on our in-house trigger cycle test machine ... It will be interesting to see how many average cycles those SOCOM units make before the hammer snaps ... like most things, time will tell. |

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. |

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? |

Here is a good deal on 3.5 lb SINGLE stage for $95, mine is on its way http://www.jsesurplus.com/RISEARMAMENTDROPINTRIGGER3.5LBSPORTRA140SST-1.aspx View Quote For a two stage, I'm a big fan of the Larue. I've got several, and I'm waiting on a few more. Larue has stated they are going to make a flat trigger variant at some point, and I'm looking forward to trying it. Geissele's are always pretty good triggers, if you want to go with a Geissele they make special versions for Brownells that sell for less money. The B-G2S-E is a version of the G2S that feels like an SSA-E instead of an SSA. The B-GRF is like a S3G/SD3G but using the G2S cost saving techniques. Personally I have a SD-C, and I wish it was a SD-E. I tend to like lighter triggers and have no problem running a 3.5lb trigger. If budget is your biggest concern, then the RRA is very budget friendly and they feel much better than stock. They were recently on sale for $62. My preferred version is the 2 stage Varmint 3.5lb trigger. Legal Transfers on the equipment exchange often times sells them for $79 delivered. View Quote |
