Best budget AR drop in trigger?

[JEVapa]

For $99 you can't beat an LT MBT2S. I prefer it over any other trigger out there. The rest of the LT triggers are $118 now, but they always have some kind of promo going on.

My next choice is a non-budget trigger - the AR Gold. It's arguably the best trigger out there IMO but it's spendy $$$$.

I recently bought and installed a Midwest Industries flat trigger, drop in (FCG), into a Rock River Arms RRage LAR-15M carbine. Think it cost around $140.00. Bought this carbine used from a pawn shop, really dug the slender forend on it. Haven’t seen many like it. Lyman digital trigger pull gauge shows between 3.5 to 4 lbs. the stock trigger was rough and heavy 6 lbs. ish. Field tested with over 100 rounds, no issues, FTF, light primer strikes.

Velocity if they are still around, a gentleman that worked for a fancy brand started the company and offered a hefty discount for those that serve our country.

Rock River Arms 2 stage match trigger 4.5-5 lb is frequently on sale for 79.99. The 2 stage varmint trigger is 3.5-4 lb is also 79.99 on sale most of the time. Check gun.deals frequently and someone will have them on sale.

Rise Armament RA-140 at 3.5 lb is a good budget drop in trigger, but a Timney is what goes in my precision rifles.

I think they still have the deal that if you order five they are $79 each.

This is true

Little more work to install but my trigger after working it in to smooth it up (rope trick) it pulls between 4 and 4.25 pounds .

I’m pretty sure that was what my AR10 that I sold off had. I’m no trigger snob, so I might not know much, but it felt pretty nice to me, esp for the platform. I’m used to the crappy mil spec triggers. If I ever get around to shooting an AR more I would buy one of those to throw in at the drop of a hat.

Put timneys in my lowers. Easy to install and seem to be good quality. Lots of choices.

I have a mega arms AR10 with an ELFTMAN drop in trigger that is amazing. 2 lbs, crisp, no creep. May not be “budget” but worth every penny

Atwood’s, $108.54 out the door Rise Armament. They have flat face or curved same price. Mine average 3.5#s, bought a few and all seem to be within what they advertise.
