The wide trigger now makes for a substantial and perfect pull. I want to replace all of my triggers with this one!"
My trigger is much better than I could have hoped for. The hardest decision I have now is to decide which rifle to put in on. My home defense carbine, or the one I have my ACOG mounted on. The HD carbine is waiting for the refund from Eotech so I can purchase an Aimpoint. The one with the ACOG is set up with a IR laser and Surefire m951 so I can use it at night. 1st world problems. |
I saw some girl texting and driving the other day and it really pissed me off, so I rolled down my window and threw my beer at her!
Adapt, improvise and overcome....or fucking die trying. |
Thanks Mark for the upgraded shipping and MBT is the best AR trigger!

By leaving that sale on too long, we failed some of you. Didn't take into account problems that arose, such as we lost an EDM for a time, plus the pesky laser marker was giving us fits. Yes, yes, I know, you don't want to hear the labor pains, you just wanna see the baby. Fuck it Mark. You had some big sales right there together. I was glad I got mine so soon but wouldn't be here crying about it if I didn't. I saved a lot of money on a great trigger and two great barrels. If you sent every arfcommer a free rifle there would still be people bitching about it somehow. Yeah, fuck it...

I just want to know what is going on. Were the triggers promised by Christmas? I only remember that being the case with the TOT deal.i'm sorry yours dident make it as I know how hard it is when nothing from Larue is under the tree. But seriously shit happens,machines go down,labor takes off unexpectedly.people are people they do strange shit.plus there is always that Murphy dude that seems to jump into the mix when things are running too smoothly. Sometimes the best intentions and wishes are impossible to actually implement once even a small wrench is thrown into the plan.it could be worse some manufacturers would have sped things up and turned loose a bunch of substandard parts. So relax,have some eggnog and enjoy knowing that your trigger is being produced to perfect specs and will be arriving shortly or of course you could cancel your order so the guys behind you get theirs sooner and take one for the team. Good luck and merry Christmas either way. |

Jesus.
If you want a fucking trigger that bad, you can have one of mine and I'll take yours when you get it in. Its the best 200 dollar trigger out there, and at 125, its not even close. But fuck it, lets bitch anyways, especially when the guy runs the sale weeks longer than originally stated when the "by Christmas" thing came about. This sale put more good triggers in circulation than anyone can imagine, and you got em 50% off what they originally sold for. The manties must be ridin' high. |

Selling billet tool steel triggers for $125 doesn't afford this firm a department of information that can accurately recalculate delivery times from information streaming in from all over the shop, from unexpected sick days called in, machinery breakdowns, etc.
It is my fault, I took my eye off the ball, both when I should have stopped the sale, to getting the sense we weren't going to make it even though I was being told we were. We did manage to get nearly a 1,000 MBTs out in time, and there at the last I sprang upon them and ordered mandatory overtime the Saturday before Christmas, shipping 3-Day select in a last ditch attempt to get as many as possible delivered pre-Christmas. Another early-on screw-up was allowing MBTs to be shipped out of the order they were ordered in, as I was being assured by our Dept. of Info that we'd make it, so consolidating the barrels with the triggers to save on freight was a smart move, until ... Either way, I would like to assure you we learned to cut the hose off before the tub ran over, angering neighbors on the floor below, but I doubt it. Here's wishing you a Happy New Year and hoping you run your outfit better than I run this one. View Quote I assumed that you were shipping triggers with barrel or TOT orders. That is/ was the right thing to do. I would rather people that ordered multiple items get their triggers before someone like myself that only ordered triggers. Of all the people to point something out to me, it was my 9yo son......... I hope everyone had a great Christmas and was able to spend it with their families. May everyone have a happy and safe New Year! Thank you for the great deal on the triggers and please don't make anyone be away (mandatory overtime) from their families this holiday just because I did not get two pcs of machined steel goodness. |

Mark,
I missed the cutoff; I missed the sale changing from package to individual items ( I didn't need the package because I'd purchased a barrel and upper receiver during the barrel sale), and triggers were gone when I found out. I wish the spigot had been open a little longer even if it meant waiting weeks or even months. I have to do something so the no-name lower I'm having to use for that 20" Stealth upper and barrel will be slightly more worthy of that upper. Best I can do unless a quality name brand lower of suitable pedigree becomes available... |

I've had buyer's remorse ever since I ordered my second trigger during the Christmas sale. Remorse that I didn't buy two!!
Trigger #3 is now ordered. Looks like I'll be sprinkling Dillo Dust on Ramen noodles to ring in the New Year. Thanks Mark. |

Missed the first MBT sale, but was happy to find them on sale today when I placed an order today with the LaRue Gift Cards I received for Christmas!
Merry Christmas and thanks Mark, Fr8dog |

Maybe shipping a little quicker as there is no longer a hat (MBT owners edition) showing in the photos.

So, I won an MBT and bought a second in the lower combo. But this sale was enough for me to add two more to the stable. I may try one with the stiff spring as well to give folks a side-by-side.

Thank you, Mark. Two ordered, and worth waiting for.

Mine's coming WITH a hat......

Another chance to replace shitty AR gold triggers! Hell ya!
|

Wish mine was coming with a hat. I'd love to have an owners addition hat. But I bought it for the trigger not the hat. (maybe LaRue could offer owners addition hats for sale to known purchasers at a later date... ) It will probably be a long time before I can afford the 7.62 tOBR I want and get one. I just hope when they run my card there is no snafu. I've had an error when you guys tried to run my card before. Please no fuck ups. On that note I look forward to my trigger when it arrives.

Got a chance to shoot today with the MBT. All I can say is wow. Seriously made all the difference in the world to my shooting. It drastically improved my accuracy. This is no doubt the best trigger I have owned, and it definitely won't be the last one. All my rifles will eventually be getting one.
Mine also came with a nice swag pack. Wasn't expecting all that to come with just the trigger. Wore the hat while I'll shot today. Swear it improved my accuracy as well . |

Sorry if this is listed elsewhere, but I am too tired to search...
My tOBR came with the AR15 Gold trigger. Will I have any problems replacing it with my new MBT? If I remember well, there were some early complaints about the Gold trigger's size, and I was wondering if there were any mods made to the lower to accept that trigger. This was a while back, so don't fault a poor memory if this story does not ring a bell with anyone or if it is a figment of my imagination. Has anyone replaced the Gold with the MBT? Any problems? Thanks! |

I have a few of these bad boys in my guns now, and I've let a few people finger bang them here and there. I'm proud to announce that I convinced 3 guys to become first-time MBT owners today.
thanks for the deal, as I now have another MBT on the way for my last replacement. |
|
|
Well, I ordered two more tonight. I gave my last MBT to my brother for Christmas. So with this order I'm going to swap out my SSA and then have a spare.
|
|
|
Since there's another sale going, is it safe to assume all the remaining ToT MBT's will be shipping shortly?
Mine's still backordered. I'm in no rush, but I just don't want to fall through the cracks here. |

If I had known they were going on sale, I would have ordered one LT-661 and a trigger instead of two LT-661's yesterday..... Oh well, I needed the mounts and don't have a lower for the trigger (yet)..... Only thing I have that needs a better trigger is a large pin Colt..... But a .308 lower will be purchased sometime this year......
