LaRue Tactical MBT-2 Straight Bow Match Two-Stage Trigger for AR-15/M4

One of our favorite triggers, available in straight bow.

Precision shooting with the AR-15/M4 platform demands a trigger that not only enhances accuracy but also feels right. The LaRue Tactical MBT-2S Straight Bow Trigger is a distinguished contender in this space, known for its robust build quality and precision engineering.

Inconsistent triggers can hamper accuracy and comfort. The MBT-2S addresses this with a straight bow design, offering intuitive control and a precise pull, making it an essential upgrade for precision shooting enthusiasts.

Features and Benefits:

• Constructed from S7 Tool Steel using advanced EDM wire technology.
• Two-Stage mechanism with a 4.5 lbs total pull weight (2.5 lb first stage, 2 lb second stage).
• Adaptable pull weight with an additional "heavy" spring.
• Suitable for competition and tactical applications.
• Crisp break and positive reset for rapid and accurate follow-up shots.

Technical Deep Dive:

LaRue Tactical has taken meticulous care in crafting the MBT-2S. Each component, CNC-machined from S7 Tool Steel, exemplifies precision. The trigger's break and reset characteristics have been finely tuned, providing a balance between responsiveness and control. This calibration aids shooters in achieving remarkable accuracy, as evidenced by consistent groupings at 100 yards.   The flat-faced design offers a larger surface area, preferred by many for control and faster, intuitive shooting. This design choice isn't just functional but adds a unique aesthetic to the trigger.

Comparative Analysis:

Compared to the traditional curved LaRue trigger, the straight bow design of the MBT-2S offers a different ergonomic experience, favored for its greater surface area and leverage. In the broader market, Geissele triggers are revered for their curved design and exceptional second-stage break, resonating with shooters accustomed to traditional trigger profiles. Trigger Tech's Diamond model is notable for precision shooting, with adjustable pull weights and a trigger break akin to precision bolt guns. The choice between flat and curved triggers, as seen with the MBT-2S and its competitors, is largely based on personal preference, influenced by factors like hand size, shooting style, and familiarity with traditional designs.
