Their guns will never see the outside world, so performance means nothing.

Took the in-laws shooting yesterday, the very first gun they ever fired had a MBT in it.

I'll plainly say that I prefer the texture and geometry of Geissele trigger bows more, but the actual trigger pull itself is right there with an SSA-E. I don't like the SSA-E or MBT as a "combat" trigger. You want something that is more forgiving. Very light triggers like these are fine when you are calm and relaxed at the range, but they won't do you any good when your adrenaline is pumping and you lose fine motor skills. A USGI trigger feels like it's a 3 lb trigger in a fire fight.  |

This was my thinking for many years, but no longer. I would use an MBT or Geissele SSA as a "combat trigger" all day, and prefer it. |

The MBT works GREAT in an MPX. Shot about 150 rounds today, AE 124gr Suppressor, AE 147gr, and Hush 165gr...NO ISSUES and awesome performance. I like it much better than the POF single stage trigger I have in my AR 9mm....which I'm gonna swap to the MBT. Here is the MPX with the MBT:

I just got a Lyman trigger gauge. I put it to work on two Larue MBT's and both averaged 3lb 11oz.
It's interesting to me how much it varies from Mark's profiler. |

To stop the roller from working as a roller, try wrapping and locking it down with black electrician's tape, thus stopping it from rolling, so it doesn't change the moment by "rolling downhill". |

It looks like a Blanchard ground surface, and is pretty much the industry standard for a non-functioning surface in a precision assembly. It will be flat, square to all working surfaces, and smoother than it needs to be. FYI I used to be in charge of the grinding department of a fortune 500 metals company's tool and die division.  It may be "non-functioning," but it is an exposed part and looks nowhere near as advertised. Slap your personally-owned rms profilometer on one hater and tell us your reading. I have one at work.

Just to understand what you are staying, they make an assembly and Blanchard each trigger separately??? A Blanchard machine typically has a large rotating head (grinding part) and a lower assembly that moves the product. Or, are you saying it is a very small Blanchard machine or maybe a standard grinder?????? |

I'm fairly certain the triggers are one solid part but maybe that would solve the confusion about whether these are Blanchard ground. I will say this, my good buddy Mark only said the MBT triggers were meticulously built, not meticulously finished. My two samples seem to function just fine with the grind marks on the side. There really is no way for those grind marks to cause any issues because they do not come into contact with anything and you don't see them unless the trigger is out of the lower. |

I always thought they were one solid machined pc but maybe the bushing is pressed in? If they do have a pressed in bushing, that makes perfect sense now. Has Mark ever confirmed that? Yes, I know exactly what you are referring to about the representing part. Some pictures I see, they are blasted/ machined smooth and other pictures like the one you posted represent what the product actually looks like. Granted, for $125 it's a good deal. |

As far as I can tell, nothing about a $375 hammer for $125 will make you the least bit happy. For the record, no two "swirls" coming off a Blanchard are the same, they can't and won't ever be.

As a former machinist myself, I like the Blanchard marks. They just give a part a cool "industrial" look. Also, I'm sure there have been some advancements in wire EDM machines from the one we had in our shop back in the day, but I remember that whenever we'd have a job where that machine was used, the one old dude in the shop who knew how to run it would set it up and let it cut the part out overnight. It wasn't like it churned out a part every half hour. Just knowing that gives me an appreciation for what must go into each MBT trigger.

Mark when do I get my mbt? :) This gent got his and posted us up a nice review ...
LaRue Tactical MBT-2S Trigger “This trigger was worth the long wait. I own a lot of AR-15s and have examples of 5 different Geiselle trigger models, a KAC two stage, and a Wilson Combat drop in trigger installed in them. None of them can touch the price/performance ratio of the Larue MBT-2S. This trigger is superbly built and finely crafted. It is very very consistent shot to shot. The wide trigger face is comfortable and makes the trigger pull feel a bit lighter than it really is. I only have a few hundred rounds down range on it so far but I have experienced no light primer strikes or misfires with XM-193 or XM-855 ammunition. This trigger is a winner!” ETA - and we got an email this morning from an ARFcommer ...
There is a post on ar15.com of an MBT with rough machining. Are the triggers being produced today rougher because there are so many back ordered? |

So when they don't look like the picture, that's the way they are supposed to look.. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Uh, there's not been a "few" complaints, there's just been you trying to whip something up out of nothing. As far as I can tell, nothing about a $375 hammer for $125 will make you the least bit happy. For the record, no two "swirls" coming off a Blanchard are the same, they can't and won't ever be. So when they don't look like the picture, that's the way they are supposed to look.. Wow, I have to agree with you Mark. There has not been a "few". There were just these two seperate posts below from different members and me saying that there were marks on the triggers but it did not affect the function of the trigger. I'm sure it has no bearing on the operation of the trigger, but that side work is anything but smoothly machined. It may be "non-functioning," but it is an exposed part and looks nowhere near as advertised. |

LaRue Tactical MBT-2S Trigger “This trigger was worth the long wait. I own a lot of AR-15s and have examples of 5 different Geiselle trigger models, a KAC two stage, and a Wilson Combat drop in trigger installed in them. None of them can touch the price/performance ratio of the Larue MBT-2S. This trigger is superbly built and finely crafted. It is very very consistent shot to shot. The wide trigger face is comfortable and makes the trigger pull feel a bit lighter than it really is. I only have a few hundred rounds down range on it so far but I have experienced no light primer strikes or misfires with XM-193 or XM-855 ammunition. This trigger is a winner!” ETA - and we got an email this morning from an ARFcommer ...
There is a post on ar15.com of an MBT with rough machining. Are the triggers being produced today rougher because there are so many back ordered? Did someone really send you that?.....and lets add a LOL to that! |

I'm in the 11th week right now and judging by people posting order #'s, I got some time left.
I knew there was a decent wait and the machine marks won't bother me |

Shit like his is the reason I hate working with the public, and prefer being in the presence of machines and dogs.
I commend your patience and restraint. I was going to wait a couple of months before I ordered one for my current build, after the forend and muzzle device, but I am ordering one today on principle.

As a former machinist myself, I like the Blanchard marks. They just give a part a cool "industrial" look. Also, I'm sure there have been some advancements in wire EDM machines from the one we had in our shop back in the day, but I remember that whenever we'd have a job where that machine was used, the one old dude in the shop who knew how to run it would set it up and let it cut the part out overnight. It wasn't like it churned out a part every half hour. Just knowing that gives me an appreciation for what must go into each MBT trigger. This I see nothing wrong with the marks. I mean come on people for 125$ this trigger is a steal |
