    If you want to spend more money than a parts kit trigger, I’d skip over the ACT and other 50-70 triggers and do the Larue MBT. I love mine!
    No but G I’ve yet to see Bill shit talk another company just to get his fans to stroke his ego some more.

    A lot of people like the Larue, especially for the price, but Geissele is still the gold standard. I’ve heard of some cassette triggers failing, couldn’t say which though. I’ve never paid much attention to them.

    I've been using Geissele for years in my duty rifles(the non-adjustable versions). The have proven to be very reliable and consistent. I also have run the ACT triggers and they are also a good alternative.

    If you are using it for defense or duty. I think it’s basically right inline with Glock. Some coMpanies are the go to for reliable trigger systems that work with a various range of ammo. And some are lightweight high speed stuff that is just not up to the task.

    I have a Wilson Combat TTU in my AR but I don't have enough rounds to give a personal long term review.

    It came highly recommended to me from various individuals, civilian, military and LE who have many more rounds with it in their rifles.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, that's my experience too. Just curious on the brands.

    It's been a while since I looked into that whole thing but didn't it basically boil down to the guy broke an NDA or a non-compete dealing with intellectual property rights when he left?

    Which is funny because doesn't Mossberg actually own the patent and licensing rights? I thought I read that a while back when someone (maybe CMC) was suing a bunch of companies.

    I think I'll keep the cassette trigger (great description) in the lower I'm going to use for the 18" fun time build and put the ACT in the good lower.

    Meh, if two rich white dudes want to have an internet slap fight that lasts over a decade which leads to one of them designing a trigger that will hold it's own against the competition and sells it for $80-90 just to spite the other, I'm all for it.

    I have a two stage Geissele trigger and a couple of LaRue MBT 2 stage triggers. It's painful to think what I paid for the Geissele trigger when I compare it side to side with the MBT.

    I have heard people talk poorly about Rise Armament's manufacturing process and internal politics. As for cassette trigger assemblies, I've heard people having serious issues when a popped primer or some other debris gets inside and locks the whole assembly up, something that the unassembled triggers won't have as big an issue with.
