Ar-15 trigger groups

[Amated]

I've decided to build my first AR-15. I am looking for advice on trigger groups. I would like something light and snappy to enhance my pew pew experience.

What’s the rifle being used for?

How much enhancement ( $$ ) do you wish to experience?

If it's going to be a range toy or general-use rifle, I recommend the Larue MBT-2 series triggers. They represent an exceptional value, and are a big seller for Larue.

CMC makes the best single stage trigger I have ever seen. Drop in. Various weight pulls available. Reasonably priced.

I'm happy with my Victory drop in trigger I think the guy used to work at CMC. ZERO complaints.

Stick with a non drop in trigger. Easy to fix should you blow a primer.


The standard USGI trigger ranges from ok to awful. Colt standard triggers are pretty good.

LaRue is great

Schmid 2 stage is good

Lmt AXL's are nice from what i hear

Another vote for the LaRue MBT-2S trigger. Best bang for the buck IMO.

There are a bunch of companies selling the Schmid 2 stage triggers in slightly different configurations, different finishes, etc. They're solid. Here's a couple:

BCM PNT
FCD 2 Stage

Also, the ALG ACT is decent as well.

I'm add Rise Armament Rave triggers. I have 3... single stage 3.5lbs $130 retail.

I second the Rise 140. It's as good as CMC. I see them on sale for $99 quite often. Check AR15Discounts, AIM, or Primary Arms.

Drop in triggers should only be used if your lower has off axis pin holes.

Lest you have this happen

And not be able to fix it if you don't have the right tools to remove the anti walk pins.

A standard style trigger can be fixed with nothing more than a firing pin

I can see that being the case on a SHTF rifle you plan on going to battle with. For a everyday knock around range gun it's not too big an issue.

The LaRue is fantastic. Both in value and in quality.

I don't know, I've had it happen to me, and I've seen it on other rifles maybe a dozen times?

It kinda sucks when it ruins a range day because you forgot the tiny allen key and the range doesn't have one, or you loose one of the screws...

Between LaRue, Geissele, LMT and Schmid, there isn't much going for any of the cassette triggers

When I'm at the range my life isn't dependent on my trigger working to save my life. If I'm at the range it would suck & maybe ruin my day if my trigger got locked up but atleast I'm still going home at the end of the day.

Personally, I carry a set of allen wrenches with me, along with a screw driver with flip tip for flat & phillips, small Cresent wrench & a multi tool.

Not to mention.... who only brings one gun to the range? Seriously if most of us got pulled over & a news crew were to show up it would make national news.

Ok, so for all that added complexity, what do you gain? A trigger that can't be serviced? 4 delicate screws that weren't there before? Requiring tools that weren't needed before? A jam that requires detail stripping when a field strip was all that used to be needed?

Stoner's trigger is a work of art with how simple it is. No need to mess it up.

Ok so you like MIL spec style triggers.... I get it. But saying I can't service or field strip my AR with a drop in at the range with the tools I bring

I only ever bring a long gun and 2 pistols, one of which is a .22 and seldom if ever leaves my backpack.

I'm there to improve or maintain my shooting ability. Bringing out 15 different guns and a thousand rounds for each does a shooter more harm than good. Ammo costs too much to spend it on building scars that are already too easy to learn.

Good thing my range is in my backyard. Anything I need is just a few steps away.
