CMC Triggers 93501 Drop-In Single-Stage Curved Trigger, 5-5.50 lbs Draw Weight, Black/Silver Finish for AR-15/AR-10

If your AR-15 or AR-10 still wears its factory trigger, you're leaving accuracy and control on the table. The CMC Triggers 93501 Drop-In Single-Stage Curved Trigger replaces that mushy, heavy pull with a match-grade alternative that requires zero gunsmithing—just drop it in and shoot. Designed by competition shooter Chip McCormick, this self-contained trigger module delivers the crisp, predictable break that separates good shots from great ones, with a preset 5–5.50 lb draw weight tuned at the factory for immediate, reliable performance out of the box.

What makes this trigger stand apart is its rigid steel housing, which holds all internal components in precise factory alignment. The generously ground sear and hammer surfaces produce that clean, glass-rod break serious shooters demand, while dual oversized center pins and threaded pivot sleeves minimize friction and eliminate trigger wobble. Take-up and over-travel are factory-minimized, so you get straight-to-the-point engagement every time—critical whether you're dialing in at the range, hunting at distance, or running a match. The curved shoe gives you a traditional trigger feel and quick purchase for rapid fire; if you prefer a flat-faced design, CMC offers that separately.

Drop-in installation means no fitting, no adjusting, no specialized tools. It's the fastest way to transform an AR platform's trigger performance without permanent modifications. Black and silver finish matches most receivers and handguards. This is a single-stage design—no staged break, just one solid pull from take-up to release.
