Great Trigger
I run this in all of my ARs including a 9mm. Works perfectly. I have my trigger pull down to 2 lbs with a little tinkering.
Great for the Price
I've bought 2 of these for my NRA/CMP High Power Service rifles [a primary and a backup]. these are just as good as the RRA NM trigger and i tried the 'Arsenal', only because the RRA was out of stock. the RRA trigger needs to be lapped before it's competition ready and this trigger, does too. upon receipt it had some creep and the pull weight shifted. after polishing all engagement surfaces with a porcelain EF stone, i got the weight and break exactly where i wanted it and just as good as a Geiselle. i've shot over 20 HP matches on one trigger set and it feels just as good as it did on day 1.
What a pleasant suprise
i have not heard of this company before when i was looking for a trigger for my latest AR build. I primarily run Geissele triggers in all my AR, but this is a retro Xm177 build. So i thought, hmmmm the SD trigger is going to look really odd on that, with that i proceed to come on Brownells and look for either the DPMS or RRA trigger, before i get to either of those triggers, this one came up and i said to myself, for $90 why not. Fast forward 2 weeks later, i took it out to the range and shot about 50 rounds thru that AR to shake everything down, i was surprised by how closely the pull and the reset is to the RRA NM trigger. Will i recommend it to my friend? Sure, for $20 cheaper than the DPMS, RRA and even the Armalite trigger, it sure is a good deal
Great Trigger
I installed this trigger in two different rifles and am extremely satisfied. Pull is smooth and consistent. Great trigger for the price as I've paid more for less.
Arsenal 2 Stage
I have had this trigger now for a few years now. Hammer spring came installed backwards, bu that was an easy fix. This video is a useful review for the trigger if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6ahmFHXDM8
Nice beginner 2 stage
I put this into my .308 AR. Wanted to lighten the total pull weight a little for hunting, but didn't want to dip down into the target/bench triggers at about 3.5lbs. so 4lbs. was as low as I wanted to go for hunting.............This trigger says 4lbs. and I think that's pretty accurate. I personaly don't have a trigger pull gauge (yet), but I compared to a geissele 3.5 and a 4.5 and it was right in the middle IMO.............Only problem I ran across was my first safety selector was NOT compatible with this trigger. The center of the cutout for the fire position and the tail of the trigger bar were not exactly lined up. It made the pull weight CRAZY high. Luckily I had a different brand selector sitting around and that cleared the problem up. Sorry, wish I knew which brand was the bad one and which was the good one, but I can't remember what brand either was when I bought them. Not sure if it was the selector or the trigger, or both put together?...............It shot nice, touch of grittyness, but I'll keep the sears lubed and expect it to break in some more. Only range time will tell how durable it is (appears on par with DPMS and RRA 2 stages)............... I've shot a lot of triggers (Im in LE, a marksman on our SWAT team, certified AR15/M16/M4 armorer, and a firearms instructor) and its definately a step up from a stock single stage, but its not as nice as a geissele. But you're only spending 1/3 of the price. And for that, it gets 3 stars.
Not for Poly lowers
Be aware this will not function in polymer lowers. It binds up on the release and I have to manually push the trigger forward.
