KAC Trigger Question

[sinister]

Most civilian hobby shooters will never go through a single barrel, and base their total experience with ARs and carbines on a population of one or two.

KAC makes their triggers in house.

If I understand Sinister correctly 2nd or 3rd barrel replacement = a service life of 10-15 K which is not bad.

Correct. Rangers didn't keep round-count books.

KAC had produced its own triggers dating back to the Mk 11 Mod 0.

KAC triggers can have awesome breaks. Their hammers are very heavy relative to Geissele triggers, giving them longer lock times. They don't have the same service life, either.

The newer (circa 2011) Drop-In 2-stage triggers have proven service life of over 50,000 rounds.

I’d hope that KAC has addressed the temper issues since then, but if the trigger only lasts as long as you state then I’ll just replace it with my favored Geissele SD-C at that time.

Thanks for the heads up.

Completely different trigger design used since 2011.

Every time I bought a KAC rifle I would replace the trigger with a flat face Geissele and within a month I would regret it.Nothing wrong with the Geissele ,but the wider trigger shoe and the more defined pull on the first stage of the KAC trigger is my personal favorite. I started switching the KAC triggers back into my rifles that were originally swapped out at this point. IMO after 3-500 rounds of working together and getting dirty the Kac triggers have the best feel.

Good info.

This forum needs a “like” or “thanks” function for useful posts.

Thanks for clarification on this issue.

Another day at the range with the SR-15, starting to warm up to the trigger more. Honestly like it more than the Geissele for faster work, reset seems a tad shorter and more crisp. I wouldn’t be surprised if the surfaces wear in with more use and the mechanism smooths out considerably.

Hmmm, I am wondering if I have the newer trigger. I have a KAC Mod 1 LPR with the Krieger barrel. I am not sure if I have the newer trigger or not. Jack?

You should have the new style trigger because I believe they have only made the lpr since 2012(I could be wrong).They do have an even newer trigger that's nib coated and silver.I purchased my mod1 lpr in 2013 or 2014 and it came with the new nib version
