HIGH PERFORMANCE TRIGGERS FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

RISE ARMAMENT HIGH PERFORMANCE TRIGGERS FOR AR-15

The accuracy-enhancing RISE Armament RA-434 High-Performance Trigger uniquely combines smoothness and speed for a serious upgrade in performance. The RA-434 HPT is a premium trigger available at a mid-range cost. The single-stage trigger system helps you shoot more accurately with less effort. It is ultra smooth to the break with a crisp, clean release. The quick reset and low overtravel allows for serious speed. Meanwhile, the friction-reducing premium nickel boron coating on interior parts allows for smoother contact surfaces. Lastly, a straight trigger blade allows for enhanced control and lighter-feeling pull weight. Speaking of which, the lightened trigger calls for a 3.5-pound pull weight. The RA-434 fits most .308 and .223 AR-style platforms and includes free anti-walk pins.

Very good for the price

I picked this up to give a try in one of my AR. Finally got a chance to try it out this last week. Man this so far is a very nice change from Aero Precision Mil Spec I was using.

NIce Trigger

No grit, no sloppy feel, just a clean break. Much better than the standard mil-spec trigger. I plan to buy a couple more.

This is the 434

Hands down best customer service from any company Ive encountered. Basically, they trusted me with sending a trigger back to them as I chose which one I wanted. Of course it went back and I kept the 434. Brownells, you might sell more of these if you title these as the RA-434. Very nice trigger. Super smooth. The pull is around 3.4lbs, which is perfect for me. Not a hair trigger by any means. Perfect for HD.

Price is good but not drop in

Easy modular. No adjustment crisp though. Reset is light. Range day tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes

Light primer strikes

Installed in my BRN-180 lower combined with BRN-180 16 upper. Light primer strikes almost every round. Need to contact Brownells and see if its common with the brn-180. Def no trust in this trigger and have used other RA triggers in past with no complaints

Dissapointed

Thought it was a good value but it just didnt work in my AR- seemed to be a nicely made assembly and installed easily, but it would only dimple the ammo, wouldnt fire it- gunsmith said the springs werent heavy enough- live and learn- mill-spec trigger back in works great
