Here I do a comparison of some aftermarket triggers available for the AR platform.
The triggers are:
Geissele SSA, G2S, SSA (modified), Larue MBT, ALG ACT
I also include a standard parts kit Milspec trigger from CMMG as a baseline.

Awesome thanks for the compassion
Just installed a larue mbt2s this morning with the “heavy” spring for my home defense AR . Sweetest trigger I’ve pulled in a while. For the price they’re a no brainer (87$)
The SSA breaks like a carrot and the SSA-E breaks like a candy cane by design. That's the mush you are feeling. The SSA-E is super crisp.
The LaRue MBT comes with a heavy spring now too to swap out and give you a higher weight if the standard is too light. Seems like a good idea for a combat rifle.
Holey moley brother… I appreciate your effort, (great topic) but Man, this shoulda been about 10-15 minutes. You ramble and fumble along. I wish you woulda listed Brand, with cost, and pull weight all in one statement. You have to sit through 30+ uncomfortable minutes to get all the data. And there is no reasonable or accurate way to judge proper trigger weights off just 2 pulls. Also, what is the quality/precision of your pull gauge? I’m not trying to bash your video, just my thoughts..
thanks for the review
Why are u letting the hammer hit the lower?!?!? Don’t do that!!!!!!!!
Larue is my choice all day!
Just build my first AR and i use a Larue MBT-2s and it's phenomenal! It's on sale through LaRue's website for $87 right now, too!
Love that "Aggressor" lower from Rifle Gear. Its made by Mega, but was less expensive.
Brooooo! Haha. Thanks for a great comparison video. Have been researching a lot bc I just bought a Larue MBT and absolutely love it. Great for a DMR. Mine is pulling right at 3# sometimes even below 3#. I initially wondered if something was off on it, but it does have a lot of grease on the sear. So I will take it off and see what it pulls at…then put grease back on 🙂 For my purposes though, it is amazing, especially for the price compared to the G's. had a G2S and sold it within a couple weeks.
MBT vs SSA?
ALG is a Geissele sister company. Good Video!
Finally a new Vid….
