ALG ACT trigger is about $80 and very smooth.
https://algdefense.com/alg-combat-trigger-act.html They may have a sale for fathers day and the fourth of July is coming up. The sale price is about $65. PSA's EPT is polished and nickel coated, it seems high quality for $30. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar15-pa10-enhanced-polished-trigger.html |

ALG ACT has done well for me.
QMS is less expensive and solid as well. |

So the AimSurplus SSAT triggers are typically around $80 direct from them. These are made by Rise (that makes most aftermarket triggers). This line is like the 140 series and it's not perfect, but is in fact 95% the same trigger as many other "brands" of $130-160 triggers. The CMCs are often around $100 or slightly over also, not made my Rise, well rounded and super reliable triggers that work in everything.
I have maybe 10 types of triggers currently and if I starting over I would run CMCs in my truck type guns and the Rise 535 (value, it is similar to other $200-300 triggers) in most of the rest guns and I'd still keep the AR Golds in my competition type guns. |

Quoted: So what is the best of the least expensive triggers? I just bought another AR, but the trigger in it is extremely heavy, gritty, and creepy. I'm looking for a inexpensive ($100 or way less) trigger that is better than the standard heavy gritty factory one. I do not need or want one of the expensive drop in triggers, or two stage, top tier stuff. I have those in my other AR's, but do not really need that in this one. Just looking for a good/decent quality single stage trigger that is just a littler better than mil spec. I was looking on midway and saw a few "enhanced" ones from a couple different brands that seem to have polished sear surfaces and then some type of coatings (nickel boron or something similar) for around $65-$70 ish. I think something like that would be about what I am looking for. Just thought I would check here and see if anyone had any recommendations for specific brands/models. ALG ACT and done. Like a lot have said already. The ACT is the best under $100 trigger you can get that is a simple basic improved milspec trigger. If you don't want to spend that much, the QMS is just as good without the nickel boron coating. And I'm a trigger snob.... LOL. |

I've used BCM's and PSA's "enhanced" triggers and they both seemed like solid improvements over most milspec triggers. Any of the improved and coated triggers should really fit what you're looking for. If you start pushing things up towards your $100 cap I'd spend the money on an mbt though.

TOMS TACTICAL RIGHT TO BEAR I have no personal experience with either, but many compare them to the ACT and claim a pretty even match. |

ALG ACT is very nice for the money spent. Others are the BCM PNT, Spikes Battle trigger, or the Sionics Weapon Systems Enhanced. I use their LPK when building rifles. For $90 you cannot go wrong. Spend $60 on a trigger, or $90 on a LPK... that'll get you an ambi-selector AND some spare parts. (I call them rifle seeds) https://sionicsweaponsystems.com/product-category/parts/ |

Quote HistoryQuoted: To all who say MBT... where can you find them now? Larue is sold out of all but one style, curved 2 stage... and mbt single stage is discontinued IIRC Larue eliminated their dealer network and went manufacturer direct a few years back. I don't think that's changed. So that leaves you with buying direct from Larue or the used market. And I also recommend the MBT. I have three G triggers, one SD-C and two SD-E's. I tried the MBT-2S flat bow on a whim to see how it compared. IMO it's every bit as good as the G models for less than half the price. I'll never drop the money on a G trigger again. |

The BCM PNT trigger has a smoother pull than the ACT, which can vary from very good to pretty gritty. The PNT is consistently better, with less variation in this regard.
