Yep, as mentioned they offer a great (literal) bang/buck ratio. Just be aware that they are two-stage. If you are simply looking for a "good" mil-spec single stage, you might look at the ALG QMS, which you should be able to find for $45 or so. Or, if you haven't purchased an LPK yet, White OAK has them with the QMS included: https://www.whiteoakarmament.com/enhanc ... luded.html and their LPK parts are top quality.

Also, if you haven't sourced a barrel yet, both LaRue and White Oak barrels are excellent.

I was actually looking into barrels and BCGs. I have been given great advice so far. I apreciate being pointed in the right direction.

My choice as well for a good relatively an inexpensive rigger.
I have several of these MBT triggers and they are good.

I have everything from $280 Geissele two stage triggers to $60 ALG.
The best one, and my favorite, is the LaRue. Trigger shoe is wide and responsive and the break is very light and crisp. Reset is perfect for those who like to ride the trigger.
I’ll take one over the SSA-E anyday.

What freefly said, ALG
They also make a great nib coated trigger, feels like everything has been polished.
Everybody has their own definition of break the bank though.
For a drop in, nobody has mentioned Velocity, the brother that helped start Timney went off on his own and makes an excellent AR trigger for about $150. He makes others too, He gave me a tour of the place when he invited me to come up so he could look at a trigger I messed up all by myself with loctite. He replaced it anyways, and told one of the guys to install it!!, and loves to talk, he told me he doesn't believe that triggers should be that expensive, and at another point in the conversation said he woould never work with his brother again....I didn't pry.

Hard to beat that. I can't stand single stage triggers, and a 2-stage at under $100 is a deal

I really like my Geissele SSA-E but it’s a bit pricey. For the price my other trigger preference is the Larue.

I replaced it wit their flat match grade trigger and it rivals timney or gissele I have had in any of my match ar15s and at a decent price

I just installed the same trigger in my 24" precision build. It feels really good. Looking forward to shooting it this weekend.

1st AR build? Gonna save you a bunch of time and $ (personal experience the hard expensive way). Just grab a UUkit (assembled $0 or unassembled) and a stripped lower from Larue Tactical - 7075 billet goodness. It is virtually impossible to (1st) build a more accurate gas gun for $992 + s/h. IIRC, AR-10 kit is ~$300 more... There is likely a wait, but it is SO worth it. Guaranteed 0 buyer remorse. Most accurate AR in my safe. While you're at it pick up an LT204 mount, QD brick shithouse.

Just earlier today I ordered a Rise Armament Rave 140 drop in trigger for mine. It has some great reviews. I figure I'll add an ambi safety selector while i'm under the hood.

I have several Rise triggers. Not too expensive and have great crisp pull to them. Ive used them in everything from standard 223 up to my 308 and 6.5.

I did have a Triggertech in my 338 bolt gun that was like glass though. Great triggers.
