AR-15 AR GOLD TRIGGER CURVED Reviews & Ratings

Self-contained trigger/assembly installs in minutes and delivers a light, smooth, match-grade trigger pull free of grittiness, with an ultra-crisp letoff and short reset. Simply remove factory trigger and safety selector, drop in the module, reinstall selector and pins, and you’re ready to shoot. Completely new engagement geometry produces a light 3-lb. pull and crisp release without compromising reliability or safety. The two-stage design is adjustable for sear engagement, with a first-stage takeup of approximately 6 ounces, followed by actual sear movement taking up the rest of the weight—the reverse of the military two-stage AR trigger pull profile. Instead, the shooter can build force steadily, maintaining precise control and keeping his attention on the target. After release, reset travel is only .030", less than half the .070" typical of standard match triggers, to aid in fast, accurate follow-up shots. The sear captures the hammer at the back instead of near the pivot point to help produce the light pull and maintain safety. A second, independent, intercepting sear is positioned to block the hammer if it slips off the primary sear, as when the weapon is dropped or suffers hard impact. If the intercepting sear captures the hammer, pulling the trigger will still fire the rifle, though with a heavier pull weight. In addition, the Gold system uses the rifle’s factory safety to positively capture the hammer, like an M1 Garand, and roll it back below the primary sear for an extra margin of safety. A lightweight aluminum housing contains the entire system and maintains the correct tolerances between the working parts. The receiver pins serve only to anchor the module in the receiver, with no effect on trigger function.

SPECS: Trigger/Hammer – Wire EDM cut S7 tool steel. Housing – Aluminum, anodized, black. AR Gold fits any mil-spec AR-15 with .154" trigger and hammer pin holes. Will not fit rifles with Colt-type sear block or AR-style .308 rifles.

Amazing trigger

I have a Noveske N4 Light carbine and after installing it made the safety tighter and a tad bit harder to toggle but it still works fine. I took one star off for that. Other than that its an amazing trigger. 5 minute install, super light and crisp. No overtravel. Looks awesome. Worth every penny. the Hammer is slimmer than my stock Noveske hammer making it lighter too.

Excellent Trigger

A Fanatastic trigger, but not necessarily totallly drop in..yes, the trigger group drops right in, but i had to relieve the safety on my AR as the safety had too muich material and was binding on the trigger group..simple filing of the safety 'flat' fixed the problem. Very nice 3 lb truigger pull, no creep or take up, but i found the reset /lock time a bit less than i expected.Better than other custom triggers i have tried, but the lock time and reset was a bit slower than i had wanted.All in all, a simple to install, very efficient trigger with a great 'feel' and crisp let off.

Great Trigger w/ 1 issue

I bought this trigger to go into a custom riflr built from scratch and it works great the only issue I have is that the safety is very hard to engage and disengage with the design of the trigger. I have not done any tactical training classes with it yet but when I do, if there's an issue with the safety sticking or the trigger being too light, I will replace the trigger for a Wilson Combat or the like.

Excellent

Pricey yes, but a great trigger. A clean sheet design. Not a reworked set of standard parts but a whole new way of thinking. Pulls very light and crisp. Yet punches deep pits into the primers. Can't comment on long term results until much more "testing" is done. But so far, perfect reliability and function. Just wish they were a bit cheaper. Then they would be a 5 star rating!
