Will the LaRue MBT work?  What doesn’t work?

Not sure why it wouldn't.

G SSA-E, HSNM, or Hiperfire Eclipse all work in my experience.

I have a Hiperfire Eclipse in mine now and if that works I can't imagine hardly any triggers not working. I did have to break it in a bit. It wasn't 100% at first, but that was more to do with the bolt tuning (weights) moreso than the trigger itself.

I have the La Rue MBT in my Tac Sol M4 .22lr, it works well, with no issues.

America is at that awkward stage, it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards....Claire Wolfe

Yes, the LaRue MBT works for AR22s.  I have two and they work very well.  It's a great trigger for centerfire work too.  There was a time not too long ago when cassette-type drop-in triggers didn't play well with AR22s.  It had more to do with notch cut in the top of the hammer than the fact it was a drop in.  You don't want any kind of notch at the top.

The only trigger issue I’ve seen with a Atchisson, Ciener, CMMG pattern bolt was with a notched hammer with a single stage trigger.    The early RRA NM hammer had a notch but I never experienced any issues with them.   I currently have five AR-15’s in 22 LR.   I currently have two RRA NM, two Geissele G2S and one LaRue MBT 2S triggers.    I keep a spare trigger in stock and I usually buy a Geissele G2S or LaRue MBT 2S when they are on sale.


Here is a picture of a notched hammer (on the right) single stage hammer that hung up on the rear under side of a Ciener 22 LR bolt.

Larue MBT will work just fine with Ceiner/CMMG bolt types. I even used reduced power hammer/trigger springs with an MBT without issue, helps if you're trying to shoot sub sonic or even slower ammo like CCI quite semi-auto.

If you're going to use an FRT, may I recommend the Rise Armament Rave 140, in combination with the Atrius Super Selector? It's certified by Bore Buddy to work with their super safety kit, and I can personally vouch for it working EXTREMELY well.

I'll add the cornfire arsenal MARC combined with PSA EPT trigger for 22lr FRT use. My SS worked pretty good once shimmed and tuned. The MARC/EPT combo has been exceptional, drop in, and ran perfectly with my existing tune with one exception. I had to adjust the bore buddy SS trip reset screw a little different then the SS set up for postive reset using the MARC. Unfortunately, with 22lr FRT YMMV.
