AR-15 AR GOLD TRIGGER CURVED Reviews & Ratings

Self-contained trigger/assembly installs in minutes and delivers a light, smooth, match-grade trigger pull free of grittiness, with an ultra-crisp letoff and short reset. Simply remove factory trigger and safety selector, drop in the module, reinstall selector and pins, and you’re ready to shoot. Completely new engagement geometry produces a light 3-lb. pull and crisp release without compromising reliability or safety. The two-stage design is adjustable for sear engagement, with a first-stage takeup of approximately 6 ounces, followed by actual sear movement taking up the rest of the weight—the reverse of the military two-stage AR trigger pull profile. Instead, the shooter can build force steadily, maintaining precise control and keeping his attention on the target. After release, reset travel is only .030", less than half the .070" typical of standard match triggers, to aid in fast, accurate follow-up shots. The sear captures the hammer at the back instead of near the pivot point to help produce the light pull and maintain safety. A second, independent, intercepting sear is positioned to block the hammer if it slips off the primary sear, as when the weapon is dropped or suffers hard impact. If the intercepting sear captures the hammer, pulling the trigger will still fire the rifle, though with a heavier pull weight. In addition, the Gold system uses the rifle’s factory safety to positively capture the hammer, like an M1 Garand, and roll it back below the primary sear for an extra margin of safety. A lightweight aluminum housing contains the entire system and maintains the correct tolerances between the working parts. The receiver pins serve only to anchor the module in the receiver, with no effect on trigger function.

SPECS: Trigger/Hammer – Wire EDM cut S7 tool steel. Housing – Aluminum, anodized, black. AR Gold fits any mil-spec AR-15 with .154" trigger and hammer pin holes. Will not fit rifles with Colt-type sear block or AR-style .308 rifles.

NOT WHAT THEY WERE!

I purchased one of the AR Gold Triggers on the recommendation of a fellow shooter two years ago and it was everything he had said it was. Was perhaps the best AR Trigger I have used? However I recently purchased a second AR GOLD trigger and was severely disappointed. It is not the same trigger they were manufacturing two years ago, it has been "value engineered" to a mediocre product. I returned it and will not buy another one unless the quality control issues are resolved.
