| Anyone have experience with these? I got one for a great price and after installing it, it feels light years better than the stock bushy trigger I have been using for the last 8 years. Gonna go to the range monday and test it along with my .300 pistol |

Quoted:
ACT is now my bare minimum trigger. All my rifles that don't have Geisselle's have ACT's. fucking love them. I can say that I agree. I cant afford Geisselles right now and was on a tight budget building my .300 pistol so I picked up 2 ACT's and i can really tell the difference |

I have one. Better than a standard trigger. I have several. They are a stardard trigger with consistant quality control. The point of ALG triggers is you know what you are getting. Its not the normal crap shoot where a given trigger group might be bad, average or great depending on luck of the draw. |

That is how I see it. I have one, but I'll never buy another one. You get what you pay for! I'll stick to the better Giessele triggers. Quoted:

I have one it is better than a "normal trigger" although not nearly as nice as my SD3G cost a 1/5 the price though. That is how I see it. I have one, but I'll never buy another one. You get what you pay for! I'll stick to the better Giessele triggers. I agree I'm already looking into buying a Geissele for that particular rifle. |

Quoted:
Waste of money. It's as good as a "good" GI trigger, which isn't all that good. Mine was replaced with SSA. I wouldnt say a waste of money. It is much much better than the standard trigger and not everyone can afford to drop 200+ on a new trigger. I want a SSA but was on a budget because i was in the middle of building a .300 pistol |

The are exactly what Bill Geissele advertises them to be. They are the best mil spec trigger you can get. If you want something better than mil spec then Geissele has several other options for more money.
The QMS/ACT triggers are the bare minimum that I would consider for an AR. |

I got exactally what I expected. I wasn't disappointed. I just said I won't be buying another. Not a really big deal. 
Why the buthurt? I've bought a lot of things once that I won't be buying again.

| I got an ACT for the GF's gun that is a nice trigger though I much prefer the G2S in my 16" gun. I just started a pistol build with the QMS trigger but I'm much less impressed with that. It was a bit gritty and heavier than some of the GI triggers I've had. I polished it and dry fired a good bit till now it's pretty decent. I'll probably follow up with some reduced power JP or Wolf springs. From my extremely limited experience if I was to upgrade the ACT would be my baseline. |

Kind of a stupid question, but whats the best paint for one to make the protruding trigger black? I want to put one on my m16a4 clone and have it match.  Quoted:
Kind of a stupid question, but whats the best paint for one to make the protruding trigger black? I want to put one on my m16a4 clone and have it match. IF you HAVE do this, which I would NOT recommend, ONLY paint the portion of the trigger that is protruding from the lower and DO NOT paint any part up inside the receiver. The trigger is Nickel Boron and the hammer is Nickel Teflon to create a smooth interface. I am not aware of what type of paint to use for Nickel Boron. From the ALG ACT page: Note: HardLubing is ALG's term for electroless Nickel plating with an integral modifier to the base nickel plate. Either Boron or Teflon is used to enhance surface hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance and also create favorable tribological properties of the trigger components. Testing has shown that differential coating of the trigger parts contributes to the sharpness of the ACT's single stage pull. The trigger component is plated with Nickel-Boron which has a high surface hardness combined with excellent wear resistance. The color is a pleasing matte light grey that may be painted on non-functional surfaces if the shooter so desires (such as the trigger bow that is visible outside the lower receiver). The hammer, disconnector and trigger/hammer pins are plated with Nickel-Teflon which combines a low coefficient of friction with good wear resistance. The Teflon impregnation colors the metal a mottled, greyish/green. Parts coated with Nickel-Teflon cannot be painted. Both coatings are highly corrosion resistant eliminating the oil seal of traditional phosphated firearm components. |

If you bought an ACT with any illusions that it was gonna be anything like a Geissele, you are I honestly didnt find out that Bill Geissle had his hands in them until after I bought it. I needed two new triggers and wanted them coated so I ordered them from Brownells after reading some reviews. |

Go out an buy a bunch of triggers and hammers and try to match them up and maybe if you are really lucky you will get a set as nice as the ALG you can buy for $65. Good luck with that. |

It works for me. Ive got a half dozen ALG triggers and none of them are as good as my best milspec triggers. |

Waste of money. It's as good as a "good" GI trigger, which isn't all that good. Mine was replaced with SSA. This was sort of my impression as well. You can "break in" a decent standard trigger to get the same feel. If you are going to bother going for a match trigger, spend the extra money. |

Anyone expecting a great trigger from ALG is going to be disappointed.
When you buy a random LPK the trigger you get can range from terrible to great. Luck of the draw. What ALG does is gives you piece of mind that you will get a good, not great, trigger everytime for a little more cash. For someone building one rifle, its a good option. For someone that builds lots of rifles, hand selecting triggers and hammers to find the best possible combo can result in a better than ALG milspec trigger. |
