First true AR build - MichaelSChittum - 06-30-2020

Going to start my first real AR build soon. I have
a 5.56 that came from a psa lower and a complete upper. I have parts ordered and the first arrived this morning. I have a JMT Black Ops trigger in my 5.56, that I like. Decided to go with the JMT Saber for the 6.5 . They come with anti-roll pins included.

That's a nice-looking trigger. I've not tried one of those before, but they seem nice.

I have their Black Ops trigger on my 5.56. no take up, and clean break. From feel, I would say half the pull weight of a stock trigger. Supposed to be 3.5- 4 lbs.

Sounds real nice.
I put a two-stage Geissele (G2S if I remember correctly) in my defense AR. I got that one because it's supposed to be a less fancy version of the SSA, which I'd been wanting for a long time, but never came off the cash for it.
I like it well enough that I've got another on order for my 6.5 Grendel build. I thought about going with a "cassette" type like yours or a Timney; maybe on the next go-round.

I have a Larue mtb-2s trigger in my 6.5g. It’s 2.5 first stage and 2lbs second. And for 80 bucks you absolutely can’t beat it. I have a Elf and a Geissele also and will not ever spend that much on a trigger again. JS

Awesome tweets on the page after the trigger!

I just bought the same trigger for my Grendel build. I can’t believe how nice this trigger is. I will definitely be buying more of these.

i would suggest the radian raptor ch as an upgrage over stock, the things are sweet

Thanks, but I think the extra $70 will go into my optic!

Ok. Her are some pics of my parts and ARs. The Stainless barrel is the 6.5. the other is my 556.
Aero upper and lower
Azimuth Technology BCG
James Madison sabre trigger
Barrel and parts except BCG and Trigger from Davidson Defense. I went back with them because of price and I got my 556 upper from them.

I have to agree with that. Larue MBT 2S trigger is the best bang for your buck. Only time I will spend $260 on a Geiselle trigger is if I intended to shoot match.
