Real world pull weight of LaRue Tactical MBT-2S Trigger?

[bobbytucson]

all i know is i love my larue mbt. mechanically are they as sound and proven as geissellee? whose to say these days. but function, reliability and pricepoint, id absolutely say the mbt and sionics 2 stage triggers are the only contenders for geisselle replacements these days (imo ofcourse)

I'm looking forward to testing mine out. I called LaRue today and there is a 5-6 week backorder, so it'll be a little while before I can chime in. Apparently, the $87 price tag has brought in quite a few orders.

Have 2 both with the heavy and one is 4 and the other, less broken in one is 4.5. The heavy spring doesn't add much weight and really just makes the reset snappier,

Agreed. I was disappointed with the trigger until I put the heavier spring in. Reset was really weak with the light spring. Great trigger for the money.

I love my SD-C but figured I would try the MBT for $87 for a spare lower. Ordered 20 Jan and it shipped today, 8 Feb.

Also bought the trigger chassis thing to mix and match my milspec trigger parts and general goofing off.

That's pretty promising! Really, I'm 2 weeks into the wait, so it won't take as long as it sounds. I'm still a pretty big fan of it shipping early, though

Bought one when they had the cheap as hell sale around Christmas. Wish I bought a dozen.

They are still the same price, the sale was extended.

Shipping label is created. Assuming it physically moves out tomorrow, that's 14 days from payment to shipping. Not bad at all.

I bought a half a dozen of them around Christmas. Was sitting at the gunshow today with time on my hands so I installed 4 of them. They may not be quite as nice as Geisele SSA-E......but I'll never pay $250 for an AR trigger again....

Installed the trigger with Rand CLP on the contact points, and took a 10 pull average of 4lbs 1.4oz when trying to carefully keep the roller in the middle of the trigger. If I drop the roller a little lower towards the tip of the trigger bow, I can easily get readings of 3.5lbs. Coming from USGI triggers on blasters and the SSA-E on SPRs, the trigger feels massively wide, but I think it's going to be welcome on a precision build.

Of note is that I had to remove the safety to install trigger, but it's certainly doable, even if I dislike doing so.
