Okay, let's talk about this. No gun needs this trigger guard. But not everyone needs to drive a BMW or a Lexus. If you have a great AR, then maybe this finely milled aircraft grade aluminum trigger guard is for you. Geissele has machined this trigger guard from 7075-T6 aluminum billet on a 5-axis CNC mill. What does that mean? It means Bill's team in Northeastern Pennsylvania have taken some of the most expensive machinery and used the most expensive aluminum to create - what? A work of art? Probably. What is a 5-axis CNC mill? It is the machine that every owner of a machine shop aspires to own, and Geissele has used it to make something totally unnecessary, but ultimately awesome. If you like such stuff. Some like pretty basic mil-spec, and that is available for 1/10th of the cost of this trigger guard. But, if you are building a BMW or Maserati of a sporting rifle, maybe this is for you.
By employing 5-Axis machining technology the GA team is able to reach every surface of the trigger guard and artfully remove unnecessary material. What this means for the user is they have a smooth, snag-free guard that fills in the irritating 'gap' from the guard to the pistol grip. A side benefit is the part is beautifully finished with facets radiating out from the iconic 'G' logo. The UPTG is the finishing touch you need for your dream rifle build.
