AR triggers are available in a variety of designs and specifications for AR-15, AR-10 and AR-9 platforms. Although many aftermarket triggers are marketed or labeled by their manufacturers as AR-15 triggers, compatible models can also be used with AR-10 and AR-9 configurations that use the corresponding trigger-group specifications.
Ballistic Barn carries AR trigger upgrades from Geissele, LaRue Tactical, JARD, TriggerTech and Rise Armament. Available options include single-stage, two-stage and drop-in trigger designs with different pull-weight specifications, trigger shapes and manufacturer-specific features.
The platform name printed on a trigger's packaging or used in its product title does not necessarily describe every compatible application. Many triggers commonly marketed as AR-15 triggers can also be compatible with AR-10 and AR-9 platforms.
AR-15 applications make up the most common market for these trigger systems, which is why manufacturers frequently identify compatible products specifically as AR-15 triggers.
Compatible trigger systems can also be used with AR-10 and other large-frame AR configurations that use the corresponding trigger-group specifications. Individual product compatibility should still be verified.
AR-9 and 9mm PCC configurations can also use compatible AR trigger systems. Because individual AR-9 designs can vary, check the specifications and compatibility information for the particular trigger and configuration.
A single-stage trigger uses one primary stage of trigger movement before the break. Individual models can differ in pull-weight specifications, trigger shape and overall design.
A two-stage trigger separates trigger movement into a first stage followed by a distinct second stage before the break. The current Ballistic Barn selection includes two-stage designs from manufacturers such as Geissele and LaRue Tactical.
Drop-in triggers package the primary trigger components into a self-contained assembly. Available models vary in pull-weight specifications, trigger shape, construction and manufacturer design.
This category can also include individual trigger-system components such as hammer springs. Check each product listing to determine whether the item is a complete trigger system or an individual trigger-related component.
Trigger stage is one of the primary distinctions among AR trigger designs. Compare whether a particular model uses a single-stage or two-stage design when evaluating available options.
Pull-weight specifications vary among AR trigger models. Some triggers use a fixed specification, while other models may provide an adjustable range. Check the individual product listing for exact specifications.
Trigger shoes are available in different shapes and profiles. Compare the trigger shape listed for each model along with its other design specifications.
Geissele, LaRue Tactical, JARD, TriggerTech and Rise Armament offer different trigger designs and specifications. Compare the individual model rather than assuming triggers from different manufacturers have identical characteristics.
Broad labels such as AR-15 trigger, AR-10 trigger or AR-9 trigger can be useful when searching for products, but the specifications of the individual trigger and lower receiver configuration are more important when determining compatibility.
This is particularly relevant when a manufacturer markets a trigger primarily as an AR-15 product even though that trigger can also be compatible with other AR platforms.
Compare the trigger manufacturer's compatibility information with the intended AR-15, AR-10 or AR-9 configuration. Trigger type, pull-weight specification, trigger shape and other product characteristics can then be used to compare compatible options.
Triggers are part of the broader group of components associated with an AR lower receiver. For selectors, pins, springs, grips, trigger guards and other lower receiver components, browse our AR Lower Parts and Kits.
You can also browse our complete AR Parts selection for additional upper and lower components.
Many triggers commonly marketed as AR-15 triggers can also be compatible with AR-10 and other large-frame AR configurations that use the corresponding trigger-group specifications. Check the compatibility information for the individual trigger and receiver configuration.
Compatible AR triggers can also be used with AR-9 and 9mm PCC configurations. Because AR-9 designs can vary, verify compatibility for the individual trigger and configuration rather than relying only on the AR-15 label used in a product name.
A single-stage trigger has one primary stage of trigger movement before the break. A two-stage trigger separates the movement into a first stage followed by a distinct second stage before the break.
A drop-in trigger packages the primary trigger components into a self-contained assembly. Designs and specifications vary by manufacturer and model.
Yes. Pull-weight specifications vary by trigger model. Some products have a fixed specification, while others may provide an adjustable range. Check the individual product listing for the manufacturer's specifications.
AR-15 is commonly used by manufacturers when naming and marketing compatible trigger products because it is a major application for these trigger systems. That product label does not necessarily mean the trigger is limited exclusively to an AR-15. Individual compatibility specifications should determine the applicable platforms.
