... Combing the internet, I blundered into this recent low-key trigger poll taken back in October. LaRue MBT = 2nd place ... meh, not bad. I'll grin and take it. I haven't looked at the MBT's Holiday sale numbers lately, but guessing it's pushing 10,000 more LaRue MBTs released into the wild. If you have one of our competitor's overpriced triggers, sell it now while there are still a few suckers left and buy two (2) MBTs ;-) ML

discospud38 I prefer the 2nd stage break on the MBT-2S. Its more defined than the Geissele. However, I have to say that I prefer a concave curve on the face of triggers vs the broad "flat" face of the MBT-2S. That's just preference though.
_j.a.m.e.s_lee_ Haha I shoot yours in service rifle!
webermakescoolstuff I just installed mine! I grabbed one while greedily up snatching one of those sweet APEG grips on sale. I love it! These will be my go-to trigger from here on🤙🏻

el_jefe_556 I put as much stock in this poll as the 2016 presidential pollsters. MBT is the best at any price. Keep up the fine work and Merry Christmas to you fine Americans
thedogeoftheyear TFB readers are retards, so this doesn't mean much.
jossege I've had Geissele SD-C straight bow triggers for years, but when I got my MPX I waited for the straight bow MBT to finally get released. Love that trigger.
agw_fl 👏🏻🙌🏻😂
dirk.t77 I've got both. Wished I'd realized the value of the mbt sooner. I can't even tell the difference between them except for the price difference, which is huge..

duqjeep2010 I have both. I will say I do like the feel of the SSA-E better but for the I can wait price it isn't worth the extra cost. Not to mention the MBT is a tank with very robust construction.
ccdisp Mark, I'll be honest. The G SD-C and SSA-E are a fuzz better than the MBT, IMO. For the cost though, the MBT is like 90% as good. 2 likes

legion_vi I bought one of your straight bow triggers on black friday. I have 2 geiselle's. Based on pure performance, yours are just as good, and better priced.
sdh_custom I have 4 triggers.. two are rise armament ra140 and two are larue MBT. Both incredible, both about $100. IDK why anyone would ever spend more
jdelabay What's the percentage of Geissele voters who have tried an MBT🤔 I must say, I put an MBT on my dad's rifle and wish I knew about them when I built my rifle!

v6merc I LOVE my first LaRue MBT-2S trigger - I will be buying more! Clean, crisp and detectable in every way! Funny how some of the the other major brand names prices are dropping like flies... 😌
mikenotgonnagetit I sold off my SSA-E and swapped in you MBT and well I've bought more MBT triggers than I care to admit and use nothing but MBTs now in my builds. I've got a literal tower of little metal MBT cans all over
- laruetactical @mikenotgonnagetit ... Someone made me some neat candles with theirs. You can top that, fill a couple with Krugerands and send them my way ;-) ML
- mikenotgonnagetit @laruetactical lmao yeah I dont think I'm gonna be getting rid of mine anytime soon. Havent decided in what I'm gonna use mine for yet. So right now they adorn my workbench as a kind of leaning tower of Pisa

bmullis @laruetactical I have several GA's and haven't used anything but the MBT's since they came out. I honestly think the MBT is as good as you can get! As a gunsmith with 25 years of experience on ARs I will tell you the "drop in " triggers are junk. Stick with open architecture triggers on ARs and you won't regret it !
wimb0 Mbt is better than SSA-E, IMO. Where can you get a match grade trigger for less than a bill when the best competition is 240?
ianmixon1 I have the SSAe . Yours is priced better . It takes the SSAE a while to smooth out . I installed yours in a larue upper build kit and it was just as or better than the E 1 like
bigjoncardell I'll take a LaRue trigger over any of those others any day. I've got one Geissele Super 3 Gun that will stay in its respective gun... but just about everything else I have has been swapped out for a LaRue. Just as good, much better bang for your buck... I have even given a few away as gifts. Thanks for making such a great trigger and offering it at a great price point! 1 like

- squints_mfb @law_dog336 we dont sleep on them. If you buy one of their rifles, there is no need to switch it out because they are good, fun, triggers. If youre buying a trigger to put in a rifle build however, there are too many other better priced options, and thats not even getting into the whole "drop in triggers suck" debate.
- law_dog_349 @squints_mfb why do drop in triggers suck …ive never heard that

kevinmichael_67 I don't own an SSA-E but I can't imagine it being a $160 better trigger than the MBT. 2 likes
- thirtythree_three @gt500kevin I own about 4 SSA-E's (and some flat-bow versions, the SD-E). They're not $160 better. They're cast metal, while the MBTs are s7 Tool Steel (I don't foresee myself ever breaking one, even if it is cast, but if we're comparing it is worth noting). There's a different feel between the MBTs and SSA-E's, and a lot of that can be personal preference.
- thirtythree_three @tacticalfun Ok. I'll take your word for it. Does that make it better?
- gsdpanzer I do need to give these a try on some of my builds.
