ALG ACT trigger

[breakingtime91]

I recently installed the ALG defense ACT trigger in my AR and I'm really enjoying it so far.
What it came with:
The kit comes with two springs and pins for the hammer, one that is for a 4 1/2 pound spring and the other that is rated at 6 pounds. The trigger, hammer, and dis-connector are all coated and rounded off nicely.
What I'm using as far as springs:
I currently have the purple (4 1/2 pound) spring in and I was really surprised by the difference.
Comparing it to other triggers:
I have only ever shot either brand new or well worn mil spec triggers (the m4 I had on my first trip down range had been in Fallujah and was pretty nice). This trigger blows them out of the water. The take up is very clean and I can actually just roll through it slowly and deliberately, almost like rolling through the Glock trigger. The reset is a little different and if your used to the strong reset of the mil-spec spring its going to take a little to get used to. After about 10 dry fires I had it figured out and it was honestly just a mental thing since it travels the same distance as the original trigger/spring.


If anyone wants me to make a video of the take up and reset let me know..

I love these things. Use them in all of my ARs.

Have a few, work well.

I've been converting most guns to these. Too cheap and too good not to use.

Quick question about the 6# and 4 1/2# springs. is the 4.5# an option from Geissele, doesn't seem to be an option at Midway or Brownell's.

Thank ahead of time.

I use the QMS instead of the ACT because I can't readily tell a difference between the two. Was not aware that either trigger came with multiple springs though.

I used the ACT on my first build last year. A buddy recently changed it to a JP spring kit & there is a noticable difference.

Mine came with a purple spring+retaining pin and then a tan spring+another retaining pin. Recently bought froM SKD tactical

I have a QMS trigger in one and I have another for a new rifle that is being shipped incase it has a bad trigger. Three of my cohorts who got the ACT trigger first now use the QMS in newer rifles. No difference to us but they could be at the higher end of the ACT trigger weight and the lower end of the QMS.

Between my LWRCi FCG and the ACT there was a little more creep not much in the ACT but this was testing a new ACT and a worn in LWRCi FCG so the sky is the limit on where the ACT falls in when it is broken in.

I actually have a STAG FCG that is lighter than both of those on feel.

I am still trying to figure out why I have a Giessle SSA when I would be happy with a ALG in all my guns.

Colt now advertises a 6 pound trigger in their comp gun.....might it be a ALG trigger group?

[breakingtime91]

Not sure. I still haven't shot with the four pound spring in.. it feels really good in dry fire though.

[breakingtime91]

so with the four pound spring in I had two light primer strikes on american eagle m193. One round went off after I tried it again, the other didnt. I then ran the gun with wolf 223 and it did not have any light primer strikes for around 140 rounds.. given the fact that a nice trigger isn't worth some types of ammo not going off, I switched the gun to the 6 pound spring tonight. Trigger pull is still smooth but I am upset that I had to move the trigger weight back up.

Good to know. I just installed an ACT with the purple spring, and haven't shot it yet. I'll switch to the tan. Also threw in an AXTS Talon ambi safety while I was messing around in my lower.

nice! ya the 4 1/2 pull is really nice, was pretty pissed when I got two light strikes out of 48 rounds of "mil spec" m193. What tripped me out was the fact that I shot 140 wolf gold 223 without issue..

What you guys recommend the ACT over the QMS?

[Peally]

I haven't used the QMS, but I've been plenty pleased with my stock ACT. It's leagues above the horrifying stock trigger I originally had in my rifle; that thing was the worst trigger I have ever pulled on any gun in my life.

I have the QMS on a few guns where stock USGI appearance is important to me, but the ACT definitely performs better.

Both are quality options.

[Gray222]

I have both the qsm and act I prefer the act since the break is much smoother.

In terms of pull weight my samples are about the same on the gauge but the ACT feels a tad "smoother" which is hard to quantify and may be my imagination. There seems to be a bit more variation with the QMS triggers that I've tried though where the ACTs are more consistent. If my rifle came with a QMS (which it did, as it happens) I wouldn't change it, but otherwise I'd probably just spend the extra twenty bucks and get the ACT.
