Description
The Cross Armory CA-TAC2 takes the guesswork out of upgrading your AR trigger. Instead of hand-fitting individual components into your lower receiver, this whole assembly drops right into the existing pin holes, so you get a repeatable, tuned trigger without needing a bench full of specialty tools. That matters if you have ever tried setting up a mil-spec trigger from scratch and dealt with springs pinging across the garage.
What Makes the CA-TAC2 Two-Stage Design Work
This is a true two-stage trigger, meaning you feel a smooth take-up before hitting a distinct wall, then a short, clean break around 3.5 pounds. That separation between stages gives you a warning point right before the shot fires, which helps a lot when you are trying to hold on target during slow precision work or just want more confidence during rapid strings. The reset is short and tactile too, so follow-up shots come faster without you needing to fully release the trigger first.
Flat Face Trigger Feel and Build Quality
The flat-faced shoe changes how the pad of your finger contacts the trigger compared to a curved factory trigger, giving you a more even, straight-back pull that a lot of shooters find easier to stay consistent with over a long session. Cross Armory builds the sear and hammer from hardened steel with a corrosion resistant finish, and rounds out the kit with 7075-T6 components so the parts hold up under regular use rather than wearing in after a few hundred rounds.
Installing the Tac 2 Drop-In Trigger Kit
Along with the trigger itself, this kit throws in a CNC ambidextrous safety selector, anti-rotation pins, a selector pin kit, and an installer tool, so you are not left scrounging for small parts mid-install. Anti-rotation pins keep everything locked in place once it is seated, which helps the trigger stay consistent instead of shifting under recoil over time. Whether this is going into a home defense rifle, a range gun, or something you are setting up for competition, the CA-TAC2 gives you a noticeable step up in feel without turning the install into an afternoon project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CA-TAC2 require any gunsmithing or receiver modification?
No, this is a drop-in trigger that uses your existing pin holes, so there is no cutting, filing, or fitting involved. Most people can get it installed with basic tools and a little patience. The included installer tool and anti-rotation pins make seating everything correctly a lot easier.
Is the Tac 2 trigger ambidextrous?
Yes, the kit comes with a CNC ambidextrous safety selector so you get right and left side control right out of the box. This is handy whether you shoot off either shoulder or just prefer having that option built in.
What does the 3.5 lb pull weight actually feel like compared to a stock trigger?
It is noticeably lighter and cleaner than most factory mil-spec triggers, which often creep up toward 6-8 lbs with a gritty feel. The two-stage setup means you take up slack smoothly, hit a firm wall, then break clean at 3.5 lbs, so you get a lot more predictability in exactly when the shot fires.
Will this trigger work in any AR-15 lower receiver?
It is built for standard AR-15/M4 platform lowers and should drop into mil-spec pin spacing without issue. If you are running a proprietary or non-standard receiver, it is worth double checking pin spacing before you order.
