The Larue single stage trigger is the best duty/carry trigger. I couldnt not believe how good it was until I got one. I was in the middle of replacing all my various NiB triggers (ALG, Spikes, PSA) with MBT-1’s and now they are unavailable.

Got 3 MBTs and they are great for under $100. Got my first Geissele for Christmas. Gosh damn that thing is nice. Worth $50-$100 more? I would have said no in December. Now I think it could very well be. Crazy nice. Good luck op

Quoted: Going to upgrade my milspec trigger in an AR. Was looking at a few today. The Sons of Liberty Fighting Trigger was one a local shop had in stock. Looking in the 4.5-5.5 pound range. Not looking to drop a shitload in this as if its nice I'll probably get a couple. Any sweet options I should look at? I have been building for 11 years. Recently I cant find my fave CMC 3.5lb straight bow trigger for $99 anymore. I MUST have a straight trigger. I was amazed at the results of mating a Bullmoose Tactical trigger with an ALG Combat hammer. Lighter Nic Taylor springs too. Never had a light strike. NO TAKE UP! About 1mm of creep. Short, loud reset. BETTER than the ALG Combat curved trigger! Much better IMO. Total cost was about $50 plus the hammer. Prolly get good results with a polished Mil Spec hammer. http://bullmoosetactical.com/BMT-AR-Skeletonized-Trigger_p_66.html https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/ar-skeletonized-trigger-p/ar-bm-trigger.htm http://nictaylor00.blogspot.com/2019/05/ar15-ar10-flat-match-quality-trigger.html |

I think I read somewhere there is a company in Texas, possibly Larue Tactical that is selling triggers now.....I have not heard much about them, but they may be a good option
 The ALG ACT like Tig mentioned is a good option, I removed a Larue 1S and installed an ACT in its place and like it better Good luck finding a Centurion trigger now, I have been looking for what seems months for one. |

The LaRue single stage trigger was very nice, but is no longer available. Personally though, I believe the Hyperfire Designated Marksman trigger is even better. The trigger flattens out at the bottom giving you two different finger points you can use for two different trigger pulls. If you pull it in the middle curved portion you get a very nice traditional feel with ~ a 5 pound pull. If you put your finger on the bottom flat portion of the trigger you get a super light 3.5 pound pull for precision shots

BCM, ALG, SOLGW, etc are all just using the Schmidt Tool trigger. They may be applying the coating in house, not sure on that but the markings on the trigger are obvious. Schmidt is obviously great quality, but I'd say that these polished/coated mil spec triggers are not nearly as transformative as a nice 2 stage. They are definitely a step up from a standard mil spec trigger, but if you are shooting groups I definitely find that benefit from a two stage. Brownells sells the Schmidt Tool triggers with nickel teflon coating for $40, and RTB has them as well. They are a good option but I wouldn't pay over $50 for one.
I have an MBT and it is excellent, highly recommend it. Only shot it with the light spring so far but may try out the heavier one for a more positive reset. Schmidt tool also makes a two stage that other companies rebrand including aero, KAK, centurion, etc. Apparently there are some slight differences between the rebrands, but it's no obvious what. I'd be interested in trying them out. |

BMT flat trigger, Nic Taylor light springs, Nic Taylor take up grip screw and then i bob the factory hammer. If you don’t bob the hammer, you can get light primer strikes because the hammer spring doesn’t have enough ooomph to push the hammer fast enough. If you don’t want to get out a dremel and cut the big hook off the hammer, just buy an Anderson factory stainless hammer, it works as well since it’s already factory bobbed. Less spring weight needs a lighter hammer. When I do that combo, i get a 4 to 4.2 pound trigger pull and never have a problem with primers igniting. The only Ammo I use is brass so I cannot promise wolf steel case will work. |

People on here throw around the word combat here like the military like to throw around the term tactical.
A trigger isn’t a combat trigger unless it is used in combat. There are a lot of good triggers that are reliable and won’t let you down. That is what you want in your rifle |

There are a lot of good triggers that are reliable and won’t let you down. That is what you want in your rifle I disagree, I think the term combat or service trigger makes an important distinction. For instance, some triggers with light hammers and or springs give a light hammer stroke which may be problematic for some hard primered military ammo, or some com block ammo. More important than the feel of the trigger is the reliability, IMHO. That's why I don't like lighter hammers or hammer springs, I want a hammer force that is significant enough to still ignite hard primers under adverse conditions (heavy fouling, extreme cold, etc). Furthermore, a trigger pull that is too light can be inadvertently fired under stressful conditions (combat) and is not optimal for combat. Therefore I don't like a trigger pull that is too light on a combat gun (lighter than say 5lbs). This is why Wilson offers a "mil" version of their TTU trigger that has a slightly heavier pull. The Hyperfire Designated Marksman trigger checks all the boxes. Hard hammer strikes, great pull of around 5 lbs with green spring (which hits harder than a mil spec spring), and still gives you the option of a lighter pull IF you want it with the bottom flat portion of the trigger. Also, the trigger has almost zero creep, even LaRues single stage has noticeable creep (more than I would like). |

I am saying you are putting too much emphasis on the term combat because, unless you are using it for combat, it is a moot term that people just like to throw around. A quality and reliable trigger will do the trick, easy. A quality and reliable trigger should be able to ignite any ammunition, as long as it is ammunition that is safe to fire. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Single stage, min 5.5 lbs pull for a milspec. Everyone has their pet. This. I think when Combat/Duty/Tactical term is used, it's used specifically to determine the USE CASE/Scenario. Competition/3-Gun is a term for the other use case/scenario. Usually indicating the pull weight. You're not gonna see something labelled as competition with a 5 lbs pull or something labelled as combat with a 2.5 lbs pull. I would say most triggers out there meet or exceed the "milspec" definition. Some competition triggers have light primer strikes, but that has been fixed with most companies the last couple years (CMC, efltmann). With that said, Larue MBT 1s/2s are great offerings. I've heard great things about Hyperfire EDT. JSE carries a dope ass adjustable trigger. Add a hammer, springs, and disconnector and you have a trigger that meets or exceeds most of the above for about 100ish. I personally thought it was ugly so I dremeled the back side of it. Now it looks better. |
