Has anyone here tried either of these triggers and which one would you recommend. I am leaning toward the ACT.

Own both and a spike's nickel boron battle trigger for comparision.
I think both are the same. One is nickel coated one stock, but they feel the same. Crisp break, but still mil spec wieghted pulls. Maybe the spikes is a touch lighter, but its subjective. All three have very little take up and nice breaks. On the bench I can tell they are not RRA two stages triggers, on the 3-gun range I can't tell anything... You'll pay a little more for the corrosion protection. |

Have had all of the above. Still best deal is a stock trigger sent to Bill Springfield for his $35 polish job. He adds a nib on the bottom of the trigger bar that you may have to shave to fit the safety, and it can make it a perfect click with no slack when on. I have done dozens of them with him and all have been great. I often hit them with a bit of Simichrome polish on a Dremel buffing wheel to get them to a mirror finish on the sear surfaces. Try one, you will never use anything else. (no commissions from Bill) I keep at least two at a time, since about one out of 20 will have tolerances that a particular lower just does not fit. Swap the trigger or hammer, and you are good to go. But this is the same with stock triggers too. Send him the trigger, hammer, disconnector, and three related springs, and shortly you get back a GREAT trigger. At this point, the only high dollar trigger I buy is the AR-Gold. I use them in all my personal rifles. Single stage, breaks like a glass rod, emulates a perfect 1911 as the closest comparison. Not a big fan of two stage, as the AR-Gold breaks so perfectly, you don't need to even think about staging. Removes the trigger action from your thought process. No thinking about taking up the first stage, just think SQUEEZE. |
