Good value

The trigger was easy to install. It doesn't have any take-up. Has a clean pull and has little overtravel. My only gripe is it was advertised as having a 3 1/2 lb. trigger pull. My gauge says it's 4lb. Hopefully it will lighten up with use. If it had 3 1/2 lb. trigger pull I would give it a 5 stars.

Decent value

Not the best trigger I have but for the money I'm pleased! Way better than the standard trigger I took out! It wasn't going in the best rifle I have so I didn't see a need to go top of the line!

It is better

It is better than the mil spec trigger, but there is a slight bit of detectable creep. It installs easily. I use it with an AR15 type scoped hunting/target rifle. There is no question that it is better than a mil spec trigger, but the claim there is no ctrigger creep is not 1,000% accurate. There is about 0.01" creep.

Great Trigger

This is a good aftermarket trigger, easy to install, that has a good crisp pull, but make sure that the side of your receiver are flat. It uses captured pins with a small screw on each end, most 308 ARs have curved metal in these locations, so the install looks funky where the screw heads contact that part of the receiver and hang out on the other side. For most forged AR 15 receivers, it looks okay.

A real improvement over mil-spec

I bought this to replace the horribly gritty and rather heavy mil-spec trigger. Drop in was easy and required just very basic tools. I chose the flat trigger over the curved simply as a matter of personal preference. I haven't measured the trigger pull weight but suspect it's a little heavier than the advertised 3.5 lbs, more in the 4.5 to 5 lb range. Still, it's smooth and the reset is very good. Anyone with a stock off the shelf AR looking to upgrade could do a lot worse for a lot more money.

Good so far

I watched the install video from a couple of sources that showed it to just drop in and go (3 mins).... mine took about an hour because the holes didnt line up like the other peoples. (Smith n Wesson lower). But, I took it to the range and ran 120 rounds of Tula with no issues and the trigger is very nice once I got it in the gun. Im going to run some more rounds next weekend but for now Im happy with it for sure.
