The Minimus line is a performance trigger\/hammer set that delivers a light reliable 2-1\/2 to 3 lb trigger pull for bench, bipod, or precision target shooting. This trigger\/hammer offers unparalleled drop-in performance, with no modifications or grinding required, along with a 35% reduction in lock time (hammer swing time).<\/p>\n

Polished, ground, and fully hardened sear edges will release the hammer like breaking glass.\u00a0 An ultra hard \/ low friction NiB surface coating makes the Minimus trigger pull butter smooth and eliminates wear.\u00a0 A ground-up revision of the original Garand trigger design with custom springs drops the pull weight to 2-1\/2lb.\u00a0 This is not a trigger job or tuned USGI trigger, which are limited to removing metal from the original USGI design, and having to chose springs that can be squeezed into an existing part.\u00a0 This is a fundamental redesign that is new manufacture, and adds metal above what the USGI design started with.\u00a0 It applies modern CNC techniques with precision shooting needs.<\/p>\n

All parts are true ‘drop-in’ on USGI spec trigger housings with no additional fitting, polishing, or tuning required on the parts or on the rifle. (Commercial trigger housings occasionally require some fitting).<\/p>\n

Lock time is reduced by almost 3ms.\u00a0 Lock time is the time between when the trigger releases the hammer, and the hammer hits the firing pin.\u00a0 That’s time during which the rifle is typically swinging off-target.\u00a0 Especially in offhand shooting, if shots are broken as you are moving ‘off-target’, that time can cost points.\u00a0 The ShootingSight NM Hammer is pocketed from billet steel to be light weight, reducing polar moment by 40%, and optimizing geometry for speed. Lock time is reduced 35% from 8.5ms to 5.5ms.<\/p>\n

Trigger sear edges are ground and polished to be sharp before an ultra hard and low friction surface coating is added.\u00a0 The result is a smooth trigger pull, and a clean break which will not wear.\u00a0 Adjustments are added for second stage sear engagement, so you can reduce the second stage creep to nearly zero felt travel.<\/p>\n

This trigger is available in two bow shapes.\u00a0 The USGI Minimus preserves the traditional bow shape for the M1 \/ M14.\u00a0 The EBR Minimus has a flattened trigger bow, developed to be ergonomically matched to pistol grip style stocks, like the EBR, Archangel, or several other options.<\/p>\n

NOTE:\u00a0 Minimum pull weight for rifles in CMP or NRA competitions is 4-1\/2lb.\u00a0 This trigger does not qualify and is NOT match legal.<\/p>\n
