The Mega trigger is a piece of crap. I had one and it would double tap or fail to reset without any adjustments . I called Mega and they pretty much said.. "ours works, use a different hammer or disconnecter. Suffice to say I lost confidence in the Mega Trigger and after reading about similar problems from many others I tossed it in the failed parts bin
I might have messed with it if it had worked with no adjustments but then what point is there to the trigger..... an ALG trigger with a trigger adjuster screw and JP springs is a much more reliable, cheaper set that accomplishes the same thing. |

Going by the post above this one and several others I think I would go with the ALG Nickel Boron coated trigger OP. I have one installed on my Mega Ambi GTR3H lower receiver and matching upper build, it's been great; and it pulls at about 5.5lbs, very smoothly. I'd go with that...

Spikes NiB trigger + JP Trigger springs = perfection for under $75

I guess I am the odd duck. I used one on a SPR and once adjusted it never gave me any issues. I used a NiB disconnector and hammer along with JP red/gold spring kit and ended up with a hair over 4.5" pull.
I sold that rifle, and admittedly have been replacing my single stage triggers with Geissele ones. A vendor on here has the G2S triggers for $129 shipped. That combined with same JP red/gold spring kit produced a hair over 3.5# pull. |

Maybe I'll dig it out and try a Spikes hammer and disconnect. I wasn't interested in purchasing multiple hammers until I found one that worked. The problem may have been that I was using "used" hammers and disconnects.

I'm semi interested in the mega trigger as well, but the reviews are very hit and miss. I get the feeling that a lot of people don't properly adjust it before posting negative reviews of the trigger. If I remember right it has 2 or 3 set screws that have to be adjusted otherwise bad things can happen

Like i said, i was using a used milspec disconnector and hammer ( out of a DD rifle) so that may have complicated things. It aint rocket surgery though... all you are adjusting for is a bit of movement if you get malfunctions you back off a bit. I am not too big on adjustable triggers on HD/PD/Duty weapons a anyway. |

Not adjusting it at all is the same as not adjusting it properly. I bet if you followed the instructions and set it up you wouldn't have those problems |

There isn't anything that decreasing the amount of travel in either direction would have fixed. I suspect Jacufrost is correct after looking at the trigger function but I didn't want to risk more spontaneous triple taps or worse. I am going to try a new disconnector when I eventually get a doner. |
