How do you guys find the military grade triggers on CMMG AR-type rifles? I wondered how they were in terms of pull weight, any creep, and how they break.

I am asking about the single stage military triggers, not the Geissele triggers.

I highly recommend this trigger as an upgrade.

Best AR trigger for the money and it still retails mil spec reliability.

Good potential.

Thanks!

Isn't most of their component stuff made overseas (like china)?

Whose, ALG?

5 1/2 pound pull for a fun/hunting/plinking/target rifle?

Not for me. There are several good AR triggers, but for the money I like CMC (maybe because they're made in Texas ) at about $165 or so. Easy to install with a damn fine pull that will break clean at about 3 1/2 pounds or a bit less. Giselle's are one of the best, but cost a bit more.

Another advantage, to me, for CMC is that because they are a single unit, then if you decide to change/sell rifles, taking them out is a snap.

Please verify if the CMMG trigger parts are made overseas???

Not for me.

I was actually shocked at how easy a good 5.5 lbs single stager trigger was too shoot. Most of my bolt guns had work done and break at 3.5 lbs. I liked the ALG so much that I have them on all my lowers.

I, too, am a fan of both Geissele and CMC.

As a man who has used ARs for decades in both military and civilian applications, I find the best AR semi-auto trigger is the Xtreme. The original 2 stage AR trigger is the Milazzo-Krieger (basically an adaptation of the M1/M14 trigger- front and rear hooks on the rear of the hammer and a spring loaded sear release). The Rock River 2 stage, G and Xtreme among others are copies of that basic design with twists, or not.

The Gieselle is a fine trigger too, but I really do like the solid tool steel Xtreme-which is also salt bath nitrided for smoothness, hardness and wear resistance. It is also less costly than the G-series, which looks to me as if parts are MIM rather than solid steel.

In US Service rifle competition, the trigger must be at least 4.5#s, but with a 2.5# first stage, a 2# second is really amazing- no over-travel or creep- just a clean break.

Few non-boutique bolt gun triggers do as well.

I have not tried the CMMG version.

got anything to back that up? or just baseless conjecture?
