Here's a wild idea.....why not shoot with it and see how it performs rather than "what if"?

Buying a HSNM was the worst decision I've ever made. My eyes have been opened. Hard to go back to an SSA after that, and every non-G trigger feel like crap.

But, I still stand by the thought the MBT-2S is solid for the money, as not everyone wants to drop $270+ on a trigger.

Wow, I haven't heard anyone say they aren't a fan of the HSNM for precision work.  I've shot the ssa and ssa-e, and while they are nice trigger, for the $, id rather have the mbt. Usually id put a mbt in a precision rifle while I waited for a hsnm to come available on the EE.  This way I could to basic ladder workup. But my groups shrink a fair amount because of the hsnm.

I think he was being sarcastic... My HSNM is the only G trigger I have left & it will be staying put.

I agree with the above. I'm real persnickety with my AR triggers. I've replace almost all my 556 and 308 AR triggers except for my 2 RRA AR's with Geissele SSA-E triggers.

Interesting, mine are terrible. My Colt triggers are noticeably better. To be fair, my LMT lowers are over 10 years old now, so maybe the triggers are better now.

Now the LMT 2 stage, that is a nice trigger!

Okay, I finally decided and went with the ALG QMS from White Oak Armament... Hopefully I made the right decision.

I had it narrowed between that and the True Mil-Spec Trigger Assembly from RightToBear... In the end, I just trusted the ALG name more.

Those three groove pins on the QMS are going to bother me, but I'll hopefully get over it.

You won’t regret it and White Oak is a great company to support.

I wasn't aware of that WOA trigger.  Seems like you found a nice one that fits your criteria.  Remember, you can always add a green Hyperfire hammer spring if you want to reduce the trigger pull weight slightly.

I've never ordered anything from WOA, though I've never really heard anything bad about them either and they've been around forever so I feel confident in buying from them.

They typically ship pretty darn quick

I clicked on their website and noticed the town name sounded familiar. I lived 10mi from there when I was in college and never knew they existed

I would've loved to go with the ALG ACT, but I really needed these triggers to be standard-ish and phosphate finished since they're going into retro guns. I figure (hopefully) that the QMS is basically similar to the ACT just without the nickel finished parts.

There was an ACT that I had installed with the purple lower power spring for one of my brother's friends and it was giving him light strikes as he was trying to sight in, he wasn't able to fire even a single shot... I don't remember what ammo he was using, but I remember it as just being Federal M193 or something similar. I also have an ACT with purple spring installed in one of my brothers guns and it hasn't had a light strike yet firing PMC X-TAC M855, but I'll be changing it out to the full power spring after seeing his friend getting light strikes.

I'm fine with the full power hammer springs myself as reliability is really my main concern. The QMS as it comes with the full power springs should be good to go (fingers crossed), though I have been somewhat spoiled by the Geissele SD-E and SSA-E... I just don't want to spend the money to put the SSA-E in all my retro clone builds as I would have preferred, and really, those aren't precision guns anyways.

I'm really just looking to finish up gathering all the parts I need for all the open ended AR projects I've accumulated over the years... It's gotten a bit out of hand. I'm finally at a point where I'm not starting any new AR projects, I just need to finish what I got and maybe start selling some of the extra parts I've got to recoup some of the costs.

Just hopping they have enough to fill an order for three of them.

White Oak Armament? Not knowing probably saved you some money.

Hahaha!

I got my 3 ALG QMS triggers from WOA yesterday and after inspecting the triggers I thought the finish on them didn't look quite like phosphate... Well, I emailed ALG about that just this morning and they informed me that the finish is black oxide!

I should have emailed ALG before I ordered so that's on me I guess, but dangit! How hard is it to find a phosphate finished standard "mil-spec" trigger anymore?! I guess I just assumed that since it was an ALG product that it would have the superior "mil-spec" phosphate finish... Back to square one I guess.

So I've bought 6 triggers so far and haven't found what I was looking for... Getting a bit frustrated to the point where I might just admit defeat and live with these BLACK OXIDE finished QMS triggers.
