If you could test AR triggers before you buy...

[Goodcat]

One thing that always frustrated me when I was getting started, was that I could not test fire AR triggers. I’d have to order online and hope for the best. I’m thinking about building a section in the showroom to house 10+ AR triggers you could dry fire and compare in person. If this is something you’d want to see, what kind of triggers would you want stocked that you could test?

Gotta have a gritty ol mil spec on display. Would be your best salesman

Get you a LaRue tactical trigger they are great. They are a must have in your lineup.

I've been happy with my Super Dynamic 3 gun flat blade.

2nd on larue MBT-2S. It has a reputation for punching well above its weight in cost/performance.

Definitely planning on the MBT-2S as soon as I can source them as a dealer, bone dry right now. Have several Geissele, couple Timney, and super excited about Centurion triggers made here in Indiana.

I’ll def setup a nasty mil-spec trigger too, thx rooster!

I recently added a Ruger Elite 2-stage trigger to my AR and am quite happy with it. At only a little over $100 (online) I highly recommend it. Comes assembled in housing w/pistol grip so you can try it before installation. Also, you can put your mil-spec trigger in the housing for dry-fire and testing.

I absolutely think that is a great idea. One of the things I truly enjoyed most about NRAAM in Indianapolis was the opportunity to walk the floor trying triggers and optics.

I believe you should include the KE arms SLT1 in your selection. It's unique construction which allows manipulation of the safety with the hammer down allows consistency of safety use.

Aim surplus had a set up like this

I have also been thoroughly impressed with the Ruger Elite 2-stage. It really caught me off guard for the price.

The other advantage to having trigger test rigs is that you could also display different grips on each test rig as well. Maybe even different safeties.

The Jp roller trigger is probably my nicest.

I could just name the triggers I own (not many) but the big names every one is always arguing about. I keep hearing the alg act is good but im happy with my larues.
Maybe the giessle, timneys, Elftmann, rise armament etc.

I like the grip idea, add a stock set up and boom. I know that's asking way too much though. Lol

I was looking at that, but then I’m into having a bunch of registered lowers. La Rue makes little deals for trigger testing I ordered 10 of. After consideration, I think I’m going to have A2 grips on them all, so it’s an easy apples to apples comparison on triggers.

Kinda weird kidding triggers before buying them... I usually wait until I get home...

 

[ditcherman]

I have a BCM PNT trigger that I wish I could have felt before I got it, but I know some others that like it, and that’s a perfect example of why this is a great idea.
Stock a bunch of the Larue, because when people feel it compared to the Timney or Geissele for the money, I’d bet the Larue sells.
It’d be nice if there was a way that you could get people to commit to buying from you if you’re going to go to the trouble to set this up, instead of saving a few dollars somewhere else.

In Fishers off of 131st and SR37 by appointment. There’s a “schedule a tasting” link on our website navigation we are working on, but if that doesn’t work, you can always PM

I will add Elftmann to the list, I love their match trigger. Definitely the trigger for guys who like 1911's it breaks like a glass rod.
