CMC AK Triggers Shipping Out Soon

Remember our post about CMC Trigger’s new drop-in trigger kit for AK-47 pattern rifles from last year? Well it looks like they’re going to ship out soon. Their new modular drop-in trigger that they also showed off at the 2016 SHOT Show is one of only a few aftermarket AK trigger that are available so far, ALG Defense as well as Elftmann Tactical are a few of the other trigger makers that have jumped into the AK market. The AR-15 on the other hand has a ton of aftermarket triggers available.

Fellow TFB writer Rusty got a chance to try out the new CMC AK trigger at the SHOT Show and he seemed to have liked it. I currently have a Tapco G2 trigger in my Yugo N-PAP rifle and while I like it I wouldn’t mind replacing it for something a bit better. While we don’t know an exact release date just yet, CMC Triggers posted on their Instagram page that they will be building them soon and they should be shipping out to distributors next week. We do know that they will have an MSRP of $225. Elftmann Tactical’s AK-47 Trigger retails at $295 while ALG Defense’s AKT trigger retails at just $49.

I kind of want someone to sue CMC for patent infringement on this product.

The whole point of an AKM is cheap. Cheap rifles and cheap ammo. This defeats the attraction of the platform. I'm happy with my G2 trigger.

  @AKSU That's right
  Cheap rifles for third world countries, I have said that a lot of times here. The attraction of AK for American shooter is in the price tag: you can stuff them with cookies, bury them in sand, make some cool videos for Youtube.

  @AKSU Have you been in the AK market long? This is no longer the case and hasn't been for 3-4 years now. AK's have officially eclipsed AR's in price. Boutique AK's are becoming a very real thing. Look at the recent popularity of all the custom shops who put a spit and shine on AK's. The allure of the AK for some was the cost effectiveness, but many, including myself, just happen to love them.

  @BrandonAKsALot Still cheaper to shoot. The cheaper initial price is long gone if you actually want to shoot it. 5.56 ammo prices are becoming stupid.

  @USMC03Vet Steel case 5.56 really isn't much more than 7.62x39. If we're going for bottom of the barrel here, they are pretty comparable.
