A good military type trigger group

As with all mil spec triggers, it has about a 6+ lb. trigger pull and length of travel. I discarded the standard springs and replace the springs with Brownells reduced power spring kit, resulting in about a 3.5 - 4 lb. trigger pull. (and NO FTFs) I also used a pistol grip screw with an internal adjustment screw (non Brownell) to reduce the trigger length of pull. New springs and screw adjuster works just as well as a Gisselle custom trigger. Another tip, if you install many of these: there are also custom installation-assist pins on the market that help with alignment of the lower receiver holes for the trigger/hammer pins, and they work great.

It's a Combat Trigger

I have used this trigger before in one of their parts kits and had no issues so I bought one for my new build and a spare. CMMG is a name that says quality if you have ever owned one of their rifles. If you expect a match trigger, buy one. This is a Combat Trigger, Period.
