    Agreed - lots of options for lots of tastes. I'm put off by the look of the straight trigger...but probably should try one before I decide if I like it or not since functionality is key.

    I think the CMC looks the best for straight blades. I love mine, and my straight Trigger Tech.

    AR10 that I built in 6.5 creed moor is punching through the primers, Aero precision receivers and BCG, Ballistic advantage Barrel, Hyperfire 243G (Now called reflex) trigger with the lightest springs installed.
    I'm going to try different springs in the trigger, but in theory the lightest springs should result in the lightest primer strike.
    The rifle functions perfectly and makes a single hole with a 3 shot group at 50 yards, it's just punching through the primers, the firing pin may also be out of spec.

    Yes sir, it only took me about six pulls to make me a lover of them. what a night and day difference of sensitivity. it makes a 3 pound trigger feel like a 1 pound trigger

    I would definitely look at the firing pin Length first also, that could be damn dangerous

    Most definitely not a marketing gimmick... Straight triggers make a lot of differences to the trigger pull and overall shooting experience.

    A little late now... But beware of cheap optics like this. There is most definitely a reason they are less than $200. Not much more than that would have had a you reputable brand (Vortex, Primary Arms) and a decent mount. There's always next time :thumbsup:

    I have several, they're fantastic for the money. Nothing close to a CMC, Elfmann, etc. But they're also nowhere near the price :thumbsup:

    Did any of you take advantage of the half price CMC straight triggers that Primary arms had about 2 weeks ago??? (FYI they still have curved triggers for that $99 price)

    I'm not ready to declare it a failure. Reviews were generally favorable. Out of the box inspection was positive. I'm not looking for something to give me great resolution out to 600 yards+. I've got 2 Vortex Red Dots - there great...but at this point I'm not seeing much difference. Time will tell..but I'm OK with the purchase at this point.

    More arrivals today: A set of spacers for the Free-Float Hand Guard, FDE lower parts from The 2nd Tactical, and an FDE MOE+ Grip. Tracking shows that the barrel, gas port, tube, BCG and stock are set to arrive tomorrow. LaRue trigger still on back-order so I'll install a milspec until it arrives.

    No, not a Seekens - not sure what brand. I grabbed it from a company named The 2nd Tactical - they offer a whole suite of FDE parts. Here's a quick pic.
