The Rise Armament RA-535 is a single-stage AR trigger engineered for shooters who want a lighter, crisper break without the learning curve of a two-stage design. Built to a 3.5-pound pull weight, this straight-trigger option delivers a quick reset between shots and minimal overtravel, letting you stay on target and shoot faster without sacrificing control or comfort. Whether you're running an accuracy rifle at the range, a duty build, or a competition setup, the RA-535 is a no-fuss drop-in that performs out of the box.
Rise Armament machines each trigger from high-grade, heat-treated tool steel and aluminum to aerospace-grade tolerances—that's AS9100 specification, more rigorous than standard firearms manufacturing. The housing sports their signature bright red hardcoat anodized finish in silver and red, so it's as tough as it is distinctive. Anti-rotation pins are included, and the self-contained design means no fine-tuning; just install it with the provided pins and you're done. The trigger group weighs just 2.3 ounces and fits most .223 and .308 AR-platform rifles.
If precision and reliability matter to you, Rise Armament backs this trigger with a lifetime guarantee—they stand behind the quality that goes into each unit. This is the kind of dependable upgrade that seasoned AR shooters know will just work.
