When I got my socom the guy told me it had a national match trigger in it, just wondering if there's any way to verify this?



Trigger feels a lot like an RRA 2-stage trigger in an AR. Take up the slack then another 1/2 lb of pressure or so and bang.



Pulling the trigger out it looks like the catch on it just barely touches the disconnect at the back then that last bit of pressure clicks it over.

Not sure they come with a NM trigger group.  Most M1A trigger groups are nice, but I own a SOCOM II and a SuperMatch with turned trigger, and owned a NM before the SM and the SOCOM trigger is not as fine as the NM or SM trigger are in my opinion.  Granted still nice, but not quite the same. Anything is possible....

You really can't. A NM trigger uses all the same parts, just the "hooks" have been machined so they lay flat and true to one another. A NM trigger should break at 4.5lbs or just above.

All M1As and M1garands the trigger will feel just like that NM (not true) RRA trigger as they are all 2 stage triggers.

Clean polished surfaces on the hammer hooks and sear engagement points.
Standards will have those areas finished in color.

I'd check for polished surfaces but the proof is in the pudding.  If the trigger breaks at 4.5 lbs or less its a NM if it breaks around 7 lbs I think it would be a standard.

The NM specification is "no less than 4.5 lbs".
NM M14 military armorers would also grind off the auto spur on the USGI trigger/sear assembly so that there was no possibility that it might drag on the inside of the stock. Everyone else would use a M1 assembly which does not have the spur.

If the second stage has zero creep then there is a good chance it may have the NM mods.
