INTRO:
This is my review of the Mega Arms Tactical Trigger.

FEATURES:
• Single stage trigger with adjustments to minimize over-travel and trigger ‘creep’.

• Made from billet 8620 alloy steel then case hardened to 60Rc with a core hardness of 38Rc.

• Features a widened leading edge for comfort, and an appealing structural appearance.

• Mega Tactical Trigger yields an average 41/2 lb. pull with mill-spec. components.

• Finished in Black or thin density chrome.

• Furnished with precise installation instructions. (http://www.megamachineshop.com/pdf/MEGA-TACTICAL-TRIGGER-INSTRUCTIONS.pdf)

• 1.2 oz.

• MTT-801B (Black) M.S.R.P. $91

• MTT-801S (Chrome) M.S.R.P. $103

INITIAL IMPRESSION:
My first attempt to install the Mega Tactical Trigger on my Bushmaster lower didn't go too well. The Bushmaster hammer did not work with the Mega Tactical Trigger. I then used a different hammer (I believe it is a DPMS Hammer), and it finally worked. This is one of the negatives about this trigger. I kind of wish Mega would supply a matching hammer with each trigger to take care of this potential problem.

SHOOTING IMPRESSIONS:
I've been a huge fan of the two stage triggers for a long time. I shoot very well with them and am very comfortable with them. At first I was reluctant to switch to the single stage triggers mainly because I was so comfortable with the two stage triggers. As per the instructions, I loaded up a couple of rounds in the magazine to test out to ensure the trigger was working properly. After a few test fires, I determined the trigger was good to go. I tested the Mega Arms Tactical Trigger by shooting some rapid fire shooting and some precision shooting. Shooting this trigger was very pleasant. The trigger pull was an estimated 4-5 lb pull. It is noticeably lighter than a stock AR15 Trigger, but heavier than my WOA tuned RRA 2-stage Trigger. There was some creep to the Mega Arms Tactical Trigger, which took me a few rounds to get used to, but once I got used to it, it was not a big deal. I was able to shoot pretty fast with this trigger and just as accurate as I was with my WOA tuned RRA, which surprised me.

CONCLUSION:
For the money, this is a very nice single stage trigger. There are two screws that you have to loctite, but I don't see how they could ever move. I wouldn't put these in the same class as other single stage triggers, but then again, these are nowhere near as expensive.

INSTALLATION VIDEO:
I found this great little installation video by Rainier Arms.
