AR 15 trigger change
Am looking to upgrade the trigger on my S&W, M&P sport II. Any suggestions? I'm new to the AR platform, so keep it understandable for a newbie. Thanks.

How much do you want to spend ? There are multiple good/great choices at varying price levels. But I'd expect to spend just a bit noth of $150 if you want great.

Re: AR 15 trigger change
I am putting an ALG Defense Advanced Combat Trigger (ACT) in the AR I am currently building. Here is a link to it: https://algdefense.com/alg-combat-trigger-act.html
BTW, "ALG" is short for Amy Lynn Geissele. She is Bill Geissele's wife. Her company sells pretty much the same triggers as her husband's company without having to pay for the name.

If ya get on their email list , they notify you of special sales. They often sell 'blems' , trigger sets with poor bluing or anodizing , scratches , but still functionally and mechanically perfect , at a big discount.

Re: AR 15 trigger change
I've had a lot of success with Velocity triggers. Initially bought a 4 lb, which made a considerable difference over the stock AR trigger when it comes to shooting groups. Then I upgraded to the 3 lb, and WOW!
Here's the website link, but I think you can get them on eBay for the same price with free shipping.

Re: AR 15 trigger change
What kind of "upgrade"? What's the purpose? What are you looking to do?
Fifty different suggestions for fifty different types of triggers with everyone telling you their choice is the best. LOL
I'm a dinosaur because I have a Rock River Arms National Match 2 stage trigger in 2 of my guns.
They used to be fairly popular although not good enough for those who can afford something that costs $300.
For under $100 though, they feel fairly nice and good enough for me. Super easy to install too.
I have an ALG ACT trigger in one. I bought it for it's advertised purpose - similar to mil spec, but smoother.
It's in what is shaping up to be my SHTF carbine. I didn't want any fancy-schmancy, super-duper, electrified, feather trigger in that gun.
In my pistol I chose a POF (Patriot Ordnance Factory) 4.5 lb single stage drop in trigger.
I tried someone else's gun with one and it felt nice, so I got one. Not too expensive either.
The only thing I don't care for is the face of the trigger itself - it's too thin for my liking - I'd rather have a wider surface for my finger.
For this one I didn't want anything with a super-light pull.
There are SO many triggers on the market now it will make your head spin.

If you want a mil spec trigger but slightly upgraded in pull and weight look into the PSA EPT trigger its nickel Teflon coated and smoothed out at only $30.00 and is every bit as good at the $90.00 BCM PNT trigger. I have both and there is 0 difference.
You want a two stage affordable trigger get a RRA two stage match trigger you can find them on eBay new for $75.00 and they are a nice upgrade.
You can spend more on a trigger then you did on your rifle and since your new to the platform try putting rounds through it if you want to get your marksmanship skills up. A $250.00 trigger won't be coming with range time and fundamentals.Last edited by Hodgie; December 8th, 2017 at 03:11 AM.
