AR-15 ENHANCED MILITARY-STYLE TRIGGERS Reviews & Ratings

Trigger/hammer kits feature rugged military-type components carefully prepped to give a smoother trigger pull while maintaining the original geometry for maximum reliability. These are “enhanced standard” triggers, so the armorer continues to work with the configuration he’s accustomed to. The QMS (Quality Mil-Spec) set has the sear contact surface precision-honed to smooth and lighten the pull to around 6½ lbs. The ACT (ALG Combat Trigger) adds nickel-boron coating on the trigger and nickel-Teflon coating on the hammer, disconnnector, and pins to increase surface hardness and reduce friction, with an average pull weight of about 6 lbs.

SPECS: Hammer/trigger – 8620 steel. Disconnnector – 1070 high-carbon steel. Hammer/trigger pins – heat treated 4140 chrome-moly steel. Both kits contain trigger, trigger spring, hammer, 2 hammer springs, disconnnector, disconnnector spring, hammer and trigger pins, and instructions.?

Very nice

I have 2 ARs and just bought one to see if I liked it. I first put it in my 20" Double Star, but didn't notice much difference. Then I put it in my 16" AR that I built using a DPMS lower parts kit. I noticed a world of difference with that gun. It feels like a completely different gun now.

great for the money

not much creep. smooth .seems well maid haven't fired yet but dry fires nice.not sure if I like the silver trigger . looks kina odd. but u know its not stock.

It is what they say it is .

This is what Mr.Geiselle says it is . A decent trigger. My trigger is basically free of creep, has good quality pins and springs. Pull weight is not much to write home about but for the $ but it is ok ? If you want to upgrade a junk trigger but cannot afford a $250 set , then this is for you .

Alternative to Expensive Triggers

My 24" target rifles have Jard triggers (3.5#) and the wife's has a match grade two-stage, but I can't afford to do that to every gun. This trigger is a great improvement over stock mil-spec without spending a bunch. The two sets I've installed both have a little creep but break pretty crisp and reset is short. A very smooth trigger for the money. I'm back for a couple more.

Nice Price for a nice part.

Nicely manufactured. Great price. Received it within a week. Perfect fit. I did not use the trigger or hammer springs that came with it. They were very stiff. It's always good to have spares though. I did use the stiffer disco spring. It works exactly as I expected, perfectly.

Good trigger

Nice trigger here. The feel is similar to a stock trigger but it is more smooth. Worth the money in my view, but a new shooter likely wont notice it.

ALG Trigger

I have installed 3 of these triggers and they are better than your factory gritty trigger. The first two I installed in two builds using Aero Precision lowers and used the supplied trigger/hammer pins. The third trigger I just installed in a Black Rain lower but did not use the supplied pins because the holes in the Black Rain lower were cut smaller and would not accept the slightly oversize ALG pins however I do not blame ALG for this. 2 out of the 3 triggers broke cleanly with no creep but the third did have a little but was much better then the factory trigger that was in it. I give 4 stars due to the third semi gritty trigger.

I would buy this product again.

I have been a gunsmith for 28 years. I have installed most triggers on the market for the ar-15 and m-16. This trigger keeps the function and safety of a milspec trigger without the mile of dirt road (creep) that usualy is aparent with other milspec triggrs. The coatings are slick and hard and the over size pins are great. For the mony you cant beat this product. Mariece Ward
