LaRue Tactical MBT-2S Trigger

[arrowshooter]

Is anyone using one of these and what are your thoughts?

LaRue Tactical MBT-2S Trigger - LaRue Tactical

I know that it is half the cost of the cheapest Geissele but "may" work just as well.

I am looking for a 2-stage that is a step above the current Schmid type offerings, but a little less hit-or-miss.

They are an excellent trigger I just can't bring myself to give Coocoo LaRue and of my money. For that price range I use the Centurion Arms AST.

Thanks titsomritz and roger that on Coocoo lol.

I believe that Centurion trigger is a branded Schmid, at least I have read that the "S" in a square is their mark. I have one from another seller and love it, but I just bought a non-NiB coated one and it is really bad. All grindy and crud. After reading reviews on various sites of the Schmed'ish, I found a lot of preference for the LaRue.

UPDATE: Below is why the trigger I got was soooo bad. What makes me real happy though is I received an order confirmation and shipping notification for a replacement trigger before I received a response from the seller letting me know that a replacement is coming and to toss the original one. I didn't even ask for a replacement, just "what should I do" lol. Since I did not have to do anything, I let them know that I would not ask them for a refund solely based on their continued "super" service.

I really like them and for the price, think they really can't be beat. For the price of Geissele, I'd rather have triggertech. Tbh though, I don't see the hoopla around Geissele…most their stuff just seems overpriced to me. YMMV.

The MBT is fantastic for the money.

IMO for the money they cant be beat. I just installed three more that i got during the Black Friday sale but had not had time to install. Super light and short take up, followed by a crisp and light break. can shoot it slowly for long range, or easily shoot rapidly. Yes a hair single stage could be slightly faster, but many of those are double the price or more. And since a lot of my guns could be used for HD, dont like having a hair trigger single stage anyways. Plus you get free swag with every order LOL!

I like the 2 stage Larue triggers. My brother enjoys his single stage Gieselle.

I have had very good experience with the MBT triggers. They are very well made from tool steel, not MIM parts. For the price you can't go wrong.

 

[rhollister71]

love mine. cant be beat for the price and quality.

I have 5 of them and one Geissele. The Geissele is definitely "better" but not twice as good. Worth a purchase to try and if you don't like it, you're not out much.

I agree. If we are talking total smoothness and pull weight. The Geissele wins. If we are talking good / dollars spent. The Larue wins.

If someone a "super duper owner" and setting up 10 rifles with all the same trigger. The Larue would be the better value option.

I got one of these for my AR on a recommendation from a bunch of guys who are AR afficionados and it is excellent. They are on special right now ...

I have 3 of the LaRue MBTs and they shoot great. ALG-ACT is a certainly better than stock but the LaRue is a much better trigger and only about $10 more. Have a PSA polished trigger and it's just a little better than mil spec. Going back to a standard mil-spec trigger is like using a rusty come-along.

Wouldn't bother with the PSA or ALG triggers when the LaRue isn't that much more. You won't regret it.

Besides trigger pull weight you must consider the Geissele lighter hammer weight is designed for faster lock
time that equals better accuracy. I have used many different triggers. I use to think the Geissele was over priced
but after using one for a couple years I think they are worth every penny. NM trigger

I've got a couple Geissele SSA-E triggers and a couple LaRue MBT triggers. The Geissele is a better trigger, but more money. As others have already said the MBT is a great trigger for the price. That difference in price, is the Geissele worth it? Its up to you. I don't think the Geissele makes me a better shooter or increases the shooting experience. I picked my Geisseles up during their black Friday sales, IIRC they were ~$150. For that price I'd buy the Geissele.

Geissele on Black Friday.

That is the way to do it and when I buy mine, I have never paid full price for a Geissele product and won't.

 

[Unicykle]

It's probably the best sub $100 mod you can do.

 

[titsonritz]

What I'm curious about is what make the SSA-X/SSA-E X worth $85 more than a SSA/SSA-E?

 

[nwslopoke]

I have at least two. Maybe a third on one something. I also have a PSA 2 stage. I'd say the LaRue is better, but there isn't much between them. Larue does give an optional spring.
