[Calculon]

this is a good deal on a great trigger. I have a couple RA drop ins and I like them a lot.

Thinking hard on this.

I picked one up around Christmas from Brownells. They had them on sale for $89.00. Excellent trigger for the money.

I was researching these. Which triggers do you have and are you using them for self defense or target? The 140 on sale is curved but I like the 434 more. Both say they don't come with the anti rotation pins though. Are those really needed? To be honest these are kind of confusing. The 140, 434, and the top of the line 535 all claim 3.5 pound pull but I saw a video on the 535 and that thing is basically a hair trigger. Almost no take up or reset.

I have a couple of the 140s. Bought the anti rotation pins separate. Easy to install and a clean consistent break. I haven’t measured weight but 3.5 - 4 seems right. I can’t compare to high end triggers like Geissele as I haven’t used them but you won’t be disappointed.

Do you need anti rotation pins to run this trigger?

No. Great triggers.

 

[Calculon]

Ditto. Not needed but they look cool - like me. :/

I think I would actually need the 535 to notice a difference. I don't know if it's a fluke or my trigger is broken in really well but my milspec trigger functions like the videos of the 434. I can shoot it quite fast as well. My accuracy shooting off a bench is pretty damn good too.

seen this on a FB post yesterday .. only thing i thought of is .. why not make it adjustable pull .. let the shooter decide on the poundage .. 1oz like my dang musket from the set trigger to 5 lbs .. or what ever ..

Like @GUNSICK said no. They have 2 set screws at the base that apply pressure to the pins and keep them from moving.

Does anyone know if this will fit a Palmetto State AR-10 lower?

It says it fits most 308 and 223/5.56 platforms. What is so different with PSA?

I ended up going with this deal:Rise Armament RA-240 Enhanced Rifle Trigger Blue/Silver - $88.75 after 14% off on site + FREE Mesh Back Cap (Free S/H over $49)
It says $88.75, but the page it links to lists it as $103 before the coupon code. With the code it ends up being $95 and change, still a good deal if you ask me.

Unfortunately with .308 it’s all over the map.

Ugh...sounds like AR9's All these great products out there with no guarantee they will work together.

 

[Calculon]

I have an RA trigger in my home built AR9 with matrix lower. Fits perfect.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Ok. Looking at this again. Does anybody actually know the difference between the models considering they are all 3.5 pounds? Are you paying extra for a shorter reset?

 

[Robin]

Bought one. I'll let you guys know how it works out.

I like it, probably closer to four pounds but crisp and compared to the stock trigger (which I thought was pretty darn good) it is night and day. The only problem is the upper pin wants to drift out of the receiver. I cannot be the only one that experience this, so what is the solution?

Did you get the anti walk pins?

Honestly, I have never of them. Do you have a good source for them?

You can get them pretty much anywhere but where you got the trigger will have them. They even sell the RA triggers with the pins included.

Thank you Gunslinger!!!!

The trigger should have two screws in it's housing that you can tension against the bottom of the receiver. That will put pressure on the pins and help keep them in place.

I will give that a try Corgi, thanks. I'm still going to get some of those pins too.

Robin-There are 2 set screws at the base of the trigger under the springs. If you tighten the set screws it should put enough tension on the pins so they don't move.

Edit: Never mind. Didn't read all the posts before I answered.

 

[Robin]

Thanks Tog. Going to give it a go.

Glad you like the trigger Robin. It’s an easy and worthwhile upgrade.
