Is there a reason for the two different trigger pins? My OCD is killing me!

His hammer pin is not dimpled on the side visible in his pic....
But it looks like his OCD was stopped and he received proper medical treatment! |

Any suggestion to which ambidextrous safety will work with this trigger?

One thing I notice with this trigger is that one you get past the super light first stage, it doesn't move a micron (or atleast feel like it does) until it breaks. I wont beable to really give any "real world" feedback for a few months when I get it to the range side by side my SSA-E. But if I remember correctly I can start to feel the SSA-E move right before it breaks. Not sure if that is good or not until I can compare side by side.

Hmm, I just checked mine that was in my tOBR I ordered before Christmas. No slits in mine, number 5114. Must have been an improvement on newer models? Now I want the light weight version. |

I bet those slots are from them wire EDM-ing the roll pin hole instead of them drilling it. That would save a couple of operations and allow them to make them more efficiently.

A mystery! So does the cut versus drill manufacturimg alter the strength of that assembly? I wouldn't expect pin shearing forces to be put on a trigger but what do I know, I don't make triggers.

Trigger I had in my rifle before was a Wilson Combat TTU-M2, two-stage. And I did install it in another, identical lower to compare back-to-back and side-by-side. View Quote Identical ? |

I have two Noveske Gen III lowers. One is newer though. Manufacturing dates are about 6-8 months apart or so. Not quite the "identical" I envisioned, but I get your drift. Down into the tenths of thousandths, between those two lowers, there is likely a between-centers pin hole difference, or ... pin holes slightly bigger or slightly smaller or out-of-round, or not perpendicular / parallel, etc. Since you've gone this far, perhaps exchanging triggers in the two different-era lowers is now in order. Do keep in mind, if you're not happy with it, not a problem, we'll take it back. And install it into one of our demo rifles. |

And for a different perspective that just hit our website review box ...
"MBT arrived late yesterday so unfortunately missed my range day & so far only a dry fire evaluation. Right out of the can I was very impressed with the physical characteristics of the trigger. It looks heavy but a more accurate description would be "solid". This trigger says nothing but quality & is true to LaRue's product description. The MBT was incredibly easy to install the only tool I needed was to push the hammer pin out past its keeper spring as the hammer pin is shipped in place & must be removed first. Both main trigger components & pins were easily pushed into place & only a slight tap on the hammer pin was needed to again overcome its internal keeper spring. The initial take up is very light but is solidly stopped as it hits the second stage. The second stage breaks on demand like a pencil lead & I really like the wide shoe. I installed the MBT on my .458 SOCOM mainly because I wanted a trigger that could take that quick reactionary shot without any surprises. I cant compare this to my (GA) DMR triggers because those rifles are just purposed differently. Because of the .458's heavier recoil I have experienced a couple of bumpfires using the DMR's. With the MBT I'm confident I will have better control. For my .458 SOCOM the MBT was the wise choice." View Quote |
