    Recommend a trigger, please...

    When I put together my "precision" rifle (see other threads), I used a BCM lower that came with BCM's "PNT" trigger.

    That trigger never bothered me. It's certainly better than some of the awful USGI triggers, but it's a bit grittier and heavier than the triggers in my other ARs — a 2008-vintage trigger by Bill Springfield, and Geissele QMS. (The OEM trigger in my S&W 15-22 is also better.)

    Now that I'm using this lower for "precision" shooting, the trigger bugs me.

    Before I buy another QMS (or even an ACT), is there some other comparable (<$75) option out there that I should consider?

    The recently discussed Centurion trigger is what you want. You'll have to scrape an extra $20 for your budget, but it's worth it. Pappabear just gave me one for my ACOG 14.5, and it's the best value out there.

    This one, right?

    I really like a two-stage trigger (my first rifles were an M1 Carbine and an M14-type), and $95 MSRP is do-able...

    I have enough into this rifle (nevermind what ammo or reloading components cost) that an extra $20 would be worth it.

    That's it. I can tell you it's a nice step up from the ALG it replaced. The ALG never bugged me until I was shooting magnified optics on paper. The centurion broke in one day. (started with a mild creep)

    I picked up one and like it.
    I have a Ruger two stage that's about the same price and is a bit lighter than the AST.

    I have a BCM PNT that has a bit of creep and will most likely get swapped out for a Centurion.

    Huh?

    The Centurion broke? You mean it quit working?

    No, it needed a bit of breaking in, and MarkM is saying that it took him a day to do so.

    Yes. I wrote that poorly. It broke in.... in a few rounds of dry and live fire.

    Well, that's a relief...

    I'm afraid this is a stupid question (because it was already asked and vaguely answered in that other thread), but why would I pay $90 for the Centurion version when I can buy Schmid's 2-stage for $60ish?

    Go read the thread on the Centurion trigger. They are not the same.
    Open the pig!
