AR-15 TACTICAL TRIGGER GROUP

AR-15 TACTICAL TRIGGER GROUP Reviews & Ratings

CMC’s self-contained, drop-in trigger module replaces the heavy factory trigger found in many commercial AR-15s and delivers a crisp, clean pull with a consistent, pre-set pull weight. Originally designed by competition shooter Chip McCormick to provide all the advantages of a fine, match-grade, single-stage trigger without having to fit and adjust multiple components. A rigid, steel, trigger housing holds all the factory-tuned internal components in proper alignment for easy, fast installation. Generous, precision-ground sear/hammer engagement surfaces provide a remarkably clean, crisp release while preserving reliable function. Each trigger assembly is tweaked at the factory to minimize take-up and over-travel. Threaded sleeves provide ultra-smooth pivot surfaces for the hammer and trigger. Two, slightly oversized center pins replace the standard, trigger/hammer pins to save wear, reduce friction, and prevent trigger wobble; "Chicago"-style screws prevent pin walk. CMC single-stage AR-15 triggers are available with traditional Curved trigger shoe, or skeletonized Flat shoe that provides a different feel some shooters prefer and gives your AR a distinctive look. Two-stage models also available - see separate listing.


SPECS: Hammer/Trigger - Steel, blued finish. Housing - Steel, in-the-white. Fixed pull weight is not user-adjustable. Includes two (2) Chicago-style center pins. Fits AR-15 (or AR-308 that uses AR-15 trigger) with .154" diameter trigger and hammer pins.

Rattles in lower receiver
If your looking for a cheap replacement to terrible factory triggers, this CMC is fine. The pins that were sent are correct size but the bushings that the pins ride in to support the trigger are a few thousandths too large. So your trigger rattles. I glass bedded between the trigger and receiver to fix the problem, but would have been better off paying extra $$ and getting better fit and trigger pull. I also never received a response from CMC when I left them VM asking about this.

Not bad. Not great. Works
I don't really base ratings on quality, I base it on how close it comes to being what it is designed to be. The trigger pull is light and consistent. With very little travel. This is not a top end trigger like a Geissele or Timney. What it is, is a reasonably priced drop in trigger. At its base MSRP its a 3-star item. On offer for
