LaRue Tactical MBT-2S Trigger

[Stomper]

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

Well from what I can see, it's clearly the double X-factor.

Hard to beat for the money…i have a soft spot since mark personally called me and replaced my rifle i lost in a wildfire and a trijicon scope so customer service is great

Back in the day the ALG-ACT was the best bang for the buck, but then when the MBT came out at $70 or whatever it was easy to justify the extra $20 for a markedly better trigger. The MBT is still a great trigger and even easier to justify over an ACT now that they're only $10 different, but doesn't hold up to a Geissele imo. Are Geisseles double the price better? No I don't think so, but when you can find G2Ses on sale for $125ish 2 or 3 times a year, I'll take that over the currently priced $90 MBT every time.

Excellent trigger. Highly recommended.

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.

What is the knock on LaRue?

Obviously, you've never read any of his internet rants flipping out on people. He is a complete nut.

ETA:
Even a Hitler video was made about it and it is pretty accurate...

From what I remember, Larue used to use/option G triggers in their builds. Larue, known for his mounts (among other things), was blindsided when Geissele introduced their mounts at ShotShow. That set Larue off, thinking there was some sort of unwritten rule. He then fast-tracked design and production of the MBT-1 and 2 and sold them at (some say below) cost as payback. That escalated into the "jar of triggers" saga.
ETA: ALG is Amy Lynn Geissele, Bill's wife.

Interesting. I knew that ALG was the Toyota (or maybe Scion) to Geissele's Lexus, they still offer good value, just not as good as it once was. I had no idea about the history between Larue and G$... can't say I'm surprised though between Mark being off his rocker (though I do like his QD scope and bipod mounts) and the gun industry in general has a lot of odd ducks with feuds going back years through multiple companies.

The MBT2s is a fantastic trigger for the money.

The timing of this thread is fantastic. I was just starting to look at replacements for my mil-spec set ups. Looks like I know what I'm going to do.

Same here. I was a single-stage guy all the way until a RRA came through the shop. Now I want to try it out on one of my builds

Single-stage vs two-stage really doesn't make too much difference to me as long as it is quality. In other words, I'd rather have a good single-stage over a crappy two-stage every time.

The ACT ALG, BCM PNT, SIONICS EMST and Centurion Arms AMT are all basically the same trigger, a cleaned up Schmid Mil-spec single-stage with a fancy finish, usually NiB. SIONICS use to use Np3 (not sure if they still do)

Thanks for everyone's thought's on this trigger. I can now officially say I love it. It would be nice to be able to mess with the hammer and reset springs, but it is crisp as an old wheat thin cracker and very consistent as it sits.

saying not much but posting this but, MBT-2S is awesome !

 

[Z-PDX]

i've always been pleased with the quality and performance of every larue product i've used.

no love for CMC triggers???? i've had excellent experiences with them as well.

One of my rifles has a CMC trigger and I like it.

I've had pretty good luck with most aftermarket triggers, except for Rise Armament. Maybe I got a lemon but I will not buy another one of those.

Something nobody has mentioned yet is preference for single vs. two-stage triggers. It is a completely different feel between the two.
