AR-15 ENHANCED MILITARY-STYLE TRIGGERS Reviews & Ratings

Trigger/hammer kits feature rugged military-type components carefully prepped to give a smoother trigger pull while maintaining the original geometry for maximum reliability. These are “enhanced standard” triggers, so the armorer continues to work with the configuration he’s accustomed to. The QMS (Quality Mil-Spec) set has the sear contact surface precision-honed to smooth and lighten the pull to around 6½ lbs. The ACT (ALG Combat Trigger) adds nickel-boron coating on the trigger and nickel-Teflon coating on the hammer, disconnnector, and pins to increase surface hardness and reduce friction, with an average pull weight of about 6 lbs.

SPECS: Hammer/trigger – 8620 steel. Disconnnector – 1070 high-carbon steel. Hammer/trigger pins – heat treated 4140 chrome-moly steel. Both kits contain trigger, trigger spring, hammer, 2 hammer springs, disconnnector, disconnnector spring, hammer and trigger pins, and instructions.?

Was using a cheap crappie trigger then changed it to this one and it really helps with faster follow-up shots and accuracy

Great Bang For The Buck

Great upgrade . Smooth trigger pull, very minor creep, crisp break, minimal reset. Price for all that AWESOME. Put this in a factory AR 10 that I purchased several yrs ago , now asking myself why I didn't do the upgrade sooner . Will definitely put this trigger in any of my new builds

Great value

Just installed in a PSA Dissipator build. Thoroughly impressed with how smooth this trigger is compared to the mil spec assembly I replaced. Virtually no creep, short over travel and a shorter reset that feels solid. Looking to install in any future builds.

Good trigger, nice price

I recently bought this trigger, and several days later bought the $165 Geissele trigger. Noticed both triggers have the same casting marks, and the Geissele came with the ALG juice purple lube. So, curiousity, went to the ALG website and looked at the ownership. Guess what, Geissele. With changing a $7 spring, and $100 less cost, this is every bit as good as the $165 on sale Geissele. Not as good as the higher end Geissele triggers, but good enough for precision target. I can buy two of these for the price of the lower end Geissele. And not much difference on trigger performance.

A nice upgrade for a good price

Barely perceptible creep, very smooth, clean/crisp break, and the pull weight is just right for me: not too heavy, not too light. I wanted something that was just a little bit of an upgrade from a stock milspec trigger, and this was perfect. Not that installing one of these triggers is difficult, but the fact that the parts were already assembled in the package made it even simpler, and the inclusion of a slave pin was a nice touch that made installation a breeze.

DO IT.

Oh my goodness this trigger is fantastic! It has that good solid pull weight but when it breaks it breaks CLEAN! I own a Geissele SSA as well as a mil spec trigger, and my opinion is this ALG ACT is probably the best real world trigger everybody should have. It doesn't cost a car payment but gives the quality performance and reliability of a much more costly trigger. It is a single stage just like a regular, just without the creep and grit. You almost have to use it to appreciate what a wonderful thing this trigger is. I plan to keep the heavy mil spec spring in it; I tried the purple spring and it is stupid nice how it feels too, but the standard weight spring will be the go to. I love it.

The Best Mil-Spec Trigger

I installed this on my Colt 6920. Even though this is still a mil-spec trigger, the boron and nickel plating eliminates the gritty pull you've come to expect from a standard trigger. It's so smooth that I don't feel any creep! The mil-spec pull weight is perfect for my fighting rifle. For this price, you can't go wrong! Exceptional trigger quality and value!

Great mil-spec replacement!

Bought this for my latest AR build, couldn't be happier! Pull is crisp at consistent 5lb pull, which is exactly what I was looking for. Seriously considering upgrading my non-match ARs with this trigger. Can't beat the bang for buck on this trigger!

By far the best sub-$200 trigger set.

VERY pleasantly surprised! I did as others and used the JP Enterprises spring kit and I'm getting a clean, crisp, consistent break at 4lbs. I have several AR types with a range of triggers from G.I. stock to high end two-stage, and for overall shooting (pig huts, varmints, weekend target shooting with my rather competitive friends) this has become my FAVORITE setup. I was concerned about the lighter hammer spring with hard primer ammo so I've been trading a few rounds with my friends. I've shot just about everything, including the cheapest Wal-Mart TulAmmo stuff. ~300rds and she's been absolutely 100% reliable.
