ENHANCED TRIGGER GUARD FOR AR-15/M16 Reviews & Ratings

Aluminum triggerguard replaces factory guard and gives full access to the trigger, even when you’re wearing gloves. Ends the complication of having to drop the triggerguard in cold weather environments in order to get to the trigger. Trigger guard gives you an oversized opening and is held in place with standard roll pins and set screws. Eliminates need for gap plug and works with most grips.

SPECS: Aluminum, matte black. Fits AR-15/M16 rifles. Includes roll pin and set screw.

Not so happy...

So, I love Magpul. And I really like this trigger guard, but oh my heck was it a pain to install! They require the worlds smallest fallen wrench. But the worst part of all is, THE POLY VERSION IS NOT TAPPED! YOU HAVE TO TAP IT! Magpul expects you to use the given screw as a tapping screw...well, that only strips the screw...so, unless you have a tapping kit, be aware. Also, I had to scrape away all the loctite with a wire brush. I finally got it installed and love it. If you do buy this, consider buying a advanced screw kit for it. I am only giving it 3 stars cause I love Magpul.

Problems

I love MAGPUL, but this trigger guard was such hassle to install. I had to file down the edges to get it to it my POF lower. Something that I feel I shouldn't have to do when I'm spending [$] for a little piece of metal. Next time I'll try the MOE trigger guard that is much cheaper than this.

"Drop in" isn't as drop in as it sounds

This item is not drop in as it may seem. The mil-spec parts are super easy to remove, but the replacements from Magpul are not as forgiving. Best bet is to let the gunsmith take care of it. The replacement roll pin is very difficult to drift in. I needed to pound it into place. Not really sure it does more than just look really tactical.
