Pact .308 AR Trigger Review

Pact .308 AR Trigger

Pact .308 AR Trigger

Designed specifically for the heavier .308 ARs, this self-contained unit is easy to install and results in a predictable, ultra-smooth, clean-breaking, match-grade trigger with a really crisp let-off and a short reset. All you do is remove the factory trigger unit and selector and drop in the completely self-contained module then reinstate the selector and the pins and you are ready to go.

This unit uses completely different, innovative engagement geometry to produce a 3-lb pull and a really crisp release whilst retaining the safety and reliability of the factory trigger. Two-stage triggers enhance safety and this one features adjustable sear engagement with circa six ounces of first-stage take-up. Sear movement then takes up the rest of the weight which is the opposite of USGI trigger function. With this trigger the shooter can gradually indcrease pressure confident in maintaining control and focusing on the target. Overtravel is  .030″, or less than half the .070″ that you find with most standard match triggers. This aids in rapid, precise follow-up shots. The sear of the Pact .308 AR Trigger captures the hammer at the rear rather than near the pivot point to facilitate its light pull and safe operation. Safety is further ensured by a secondary, independent interceptor sear which will block the hammer should it slip off the primary sear – for example if the weapon is dropped or suffers an impact. The rifle will still fire should this happen, albeit with a heavier pull-weight. Furthermore the Pact AR .308 trigger uses the factory safety to capture the hammer, as on the US M1 Garand, to roll it back below the primary sear for an enhanced safety margin.

The whole unit is self-contained and housed in an aluminum housing. This maintains the tolerances and engagement between parts is not dependent on factory pin hole centers. The factory pins simply hold the unit in place and do not affect trigger function.

A.R.M.S. 41B-L Folding AR Front Sight and Gas Block

ARMS 41BL Silhouette Folding AR Front Sight and Gas Block

ARMS 41BL Silhouette Folding AR Front Sight and Gas Block

A.R.M.S. set about making a folding sight and integral gas block that would simulate the contours of the original factory unit. This saves weight and ensures that the gas block and sight will end up with the correct A2 front sight post height for compatability with any rearsight. This is one of the fastest deploying folding front sights available and is made of aluminum for light weight and durability.  Folding is accomplished by pressing down on the top of the angled portion whilst pulling back on the front of the vertical post.

The ARMS 41BL is easy to install on standard Easy to install on .750″ diameter barrels. It utilizes; dual clamping rings clamped on with hex head bolts (wrench provided). The gas block is machined from steel and includes both a bayonet lug and rear clamping ring fitted drilled for a sling swivel pin (not included). The whole unit is given a uniform black finish to match most AR15s.

This unit is highly regarded in the AR community, but is slightly taller than most other folding sights when folded. It will therefore protrude above the level of most top rails when folded which some users dislike for aesthetic reasons. A non-bayonet lug equipped version of this sight and gas block combination is sold as the A.R.M.S. 41B and Brownells supply a bayonet lug for the 41B to convert it to the 41B-L variant.

Assault Planet Bullet Button Review

Assault Planet Bullet Button

Assault Planet Bullet Button

California Code of Regulations 978.20(a) dictates that you have to have a non rapidly-detachable magazine on your AR15. The magazine must require a tool to release it. The Bullet Button is a drop-in replacement for the factory button that prevents your magazine being removed without the use of a tool and thus assists in making your AR compliant. The Bullet Button can be installed in minutes.
