AR-15 Trigger Upgrades – CMC & TriggerTech Options Available
Your trigger is the gateway to consistency and control—so make it count.
At Ally Munitions, we’ve run just about every AR-15 trigger on the market through field and bench tests, from hard-use predator rifles to precision DMR-style builds. Two options have consistently risen to the top for different needs and preferences: the CMC Two-Stage Drop-In Trigger and the TriggerTech Duty Line.
We carry both because each offers unmatched value, dependability, and feel, and they serve different shooting styles with excellence.

From Wade:
“We enjoy this trigger greatly for all types of hunting and more precision-type shooting. It’s a consistent performer with a clean wall and break, and it’s made right here in Texas—which is a big plus for us.
Now that we carry the CMC trigger, we can confidently recommend it—that means it’s been tested thoroughly and meets our performance standards. We enjoy either option, and we trust them in the field.”

From Wade:
“After years of using and testing many, many, many different bolt gun and AR-15 triggers, one thing has become abundantly clear—TriggerTech is the best in the game. Across all the rounds we’ve sent downrange and all the platforms we’ve tested, we’ve never had a single failure with a TriggerTech trigger. My personal favorites are the Flat Shoe Single-Stage and Flat Shoe Two-Stage. They offer the best blend of control, feel, and consistency.
One standout feature is the set screw design that locks the trigger in solid—no play, no shifting. In our testing, we've used them with standard pins and never needed anti-rotation pins. Still, we’ll be offering aftermarket pin upgrades soon for those who prefer them.”
