Anyone own one of these? How do you like it? Thinking about upgrading the psa trigger in my 14.5 carbine.

Been using one for a while now. It's great.

Meh.

Personally I would save for a Geissele of your choice.  The BT isn't much of an improvement over a stock trigger, IMO.

So far pleased with mine over std mil spec.  I am not a big fan of 2 stage triggers so not much interest in those.  I do know owner of geissele's wife is launching a new trigger I think the company is alg. Gonna try one later

It's nothing outstanding, I added JP springs to mine and it reduced the weight by a little over two pounds, huge improvement, but still nothing too exciting.  I've got an ALG ACT trigger on (pre)order with Rainier Arms that I've got much higher hopes on with JP springs since I have a few of Mr. Geissele's two stage triggers and I fricken love those. So, personally, if I were in the market for a single stage, I'd hold out for an ALG trigger, just because that's what the Geissele's do...triggers. Just my two cents. Good luck.

for $50 I think it's a great deal. I shoot a lot of wolf and rimfire, I can pop it out and wipe all the gunk off, put it back together. Works well.

I say it's worth it. I just got one, and just from dry firing, it feels great. VERY VERY minimal creep, and breaks like glass.

Not trying to be a dick, it comes naturally, but "breaks like glass" is pretty funny.

I had an issue with mine and a set of KNS pins. I had to file a few rough and cracked edges and the center of the trigger and hammer a bit and I swapped out the pins for a set of their stock pins. The trigger would not reset at all before. Nothing a bit of polishing with a dremil tool and some compound didnt make beyond perfect. I was very pissed at the money I spent to just get a special coating basically.

I showed that hayfield who was boss.

The ACT looks like the same thing as the BT. A standard Mil trigger coated in some substance to make it slipprier. If I'm misreading something...tell me where?

You're missing the difference between a company that specializes in triggers(Geissele) and a company that will sell you a coated mil-spec trigger(Spike's).

The spikes is a milspec trigger that has been coated.

The ACT is a milspec trigger that has been tuned and polished by Geissele and then coated.  

It doesn't sound like a big difference, but there is a reason that all of the initial preorders for it sold out in a day.


I have a Spikes one and a LWRC one, I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up trading them both for ACTs.
