LaRue MBT Trigger

Featured Replies

Anyone running a LaRue MBT trigger? 

 

http://www.larue.com/larue-tactical-mbt-2s-trigger

 

It's a 2-stage trigger made of solid S7 tool steel with a 1st stage pull of 2.5lbs and 2nd stage of 2lbs.  I hear of a lot of guys comparing this to the Geissele SSA and SSA-E.

 

At $125... this looks really promising. 

Well it is really $199 if you actually want it. 

 

In a world full of awesome triggers, Larue is only 10 years late to the party. 

I've been eyeing that new sabre drop in. Sub $100 trigger that looks really good

Very true, but I've read a lot of good reviews on this model though.  Great price point for tool steel - but unfortunate it's only for the wait list option.  I'd rather buy a Geissele for 200

For that price I wouldn't mind trying it. I have a geissele SD-E and the quality on that.. I don't think anything else can beat that quality. Probably why it's so god damn expensive. Plus the flat trigger instead of a bow shaped trigger is beautifullllll

Got one for $99 using the " I can wait " option during their Labor Day sale ( took 4 weeks )

Haven't shot with it yet, but dropping the hammer on a trigger block the break is as crisp and clean as an SSAe, reset is noticeably longer.

It's on my list of things to get. Check out the thread on arfcom. Nothing but great things said about it

I have been trying to find a head to head review against an SSA-E.  Trying to see if I want to replace the SSA-E and SSA in my OBR and PredatAR to make it all LaRue.  Cause I am a label whore like that, but I don't want to give up functionality or accuracy. 

Try it and if you somehow dont like it, sell it. With the wait times right now, I would bet you sell pretty quickly

last I heard, the wait time for the $125 price option is only 3-4 weeks.  I got a gently used geissele SSA instead for $140.  Couldn't resist the price for such a crisp 4lb 2-stage

Well I went ahead and bought one for $138 shipped BNIB

 

The Larue trigger blows the geissele SSA out of the water on my SPR.  Maybe if I install the optional heavier trigger spring the pull weight might be similar, but the 1st stage takeup is much smoother.  For whatever reason my SSA had a notchy/gritty 1st stage no matter how much I cleaned all surfaces, but the 2nd stage was very crisp.  The Larue on the other hand has a shorter and lighter 1st stage and then a light and super crisp 2nd stage break.  I've never handled an SSA-E, which is what most people I've heard compare it to, but the MBT is still $100 cheaper and you get S7 tool steel.

 

According to my crappy trigger pull gauge:

1st stage = 1.25 lbs

2nd stage = 2.00 lbs

 

Total pull was just a touch past 3 lbs

 

For the price, this is really hard to beat.

Awesome. Congrats.

I'm eventually going to get one. My larue predatAR needs a larue trigger soon

you won't regret it.  maybe larue will post a black friday sale on their triggers.  if not, there are a bunch up for sale on ARFCOM's EE

  • Author

So worth it. Might grab a few more

  • 2 weeks later...

LARUE has been shipping within about 2 weeks for anyone interested in the regular priced trigger.

So how does this trigger compare to a geissele? And which model would you compare it to? Do they make it in a flat blade yet?

Thanks.

I just re read the entire thread and got my answers.... duh imagine that. :(

Ordered on on Black Friday for $99, it was delivered today.

 

you got yours fast..  hope mine will get here in a couple days

well my first choice are the KAC triggers, they are exceptional with both the lead and straight pull through.  I like them better than the Geiselles of comparison but the LaRue gets great reviews and for the price, a quality 2 stage trigger is no brainer.  I only wish I ordered 2 but they may do it again at Christmas.

same here - I kinda regret not picking up another at that price...

 

MidwestPX LPK (less FCG) + the MBT-2S trigger is a clear winner.  it'll be going into my 3rd build

Went to install the trigger in my OBR... Would not fit with the BAD-ASS safety in place.  Okay I can take it out, wait, I need to remove the grip first, okay no problem.  Damn, I don't have the right size allen key with me.  DAMN!

 

Moved the SSA-E into my Noveske lower/SPR, moved the SSA from the SPR into a stripped Noveske lower.  Now I guess I have to build that one...
