| 0:00.0 | All right, everybody. We have about 10 minutes here. Usually I say 10-ish actually, but there's |
| 0:06.8 | guns on the table between us and Ruben. And today, we're going to talk a little bit about |
| 0:12.3 | the things that make them go boom, which is the old trigger. This is my safety. |
| 0:17.4 | Oh, yeah. I thought we were trying to settle something. No. No, not quite. There is, we |
| 0:21.2 | do in this case, we would each have one. So maybe we can do it, which would you choose |
| 0:25.9 | later. But at the moment, the topic is going to be single-stage versus dual-stage triggers |
| 0:31.5 | or two-stage. Two-stage. I say dual-stage. Why do I say dual-stage? |
| 0:35.0 | I think it could be either one. Rocket boosters or something? I think you're, yeah, single-clutch. |
| 0:40.0 | Two. Two-stage. One or two. It's like going to the eye doctor. So, Ruben, talk to us about it, |
| 0:46.7 | you know, in the context of ARs here, like we have on the table, there is, we've got 556, we've got |
| 0:51.6 | 65 creed, we've got all that stuff going on here. Six arc, very cool. |
| 0:55.5 | Geez. The grocery getter. The grocery getter. Now, why are there two different styles of trigger? |
| 1:01.7 | And, you know, obviously, a lot of people are going to ask, which one's best for which one's better? |
| 1:07.3 | Which one's better? Yeah, which one's better? Which one's better? Yeah, that's right. |
| 1:09.4 | Which one's better? I'd love the mechanical differences. So, yeah. How are they up? |
| 1:14.6 | In lightness. Well, you've got single-stage triggers, which if we go way back was |
| 1:21.7 | primarily the trigger is a single-stage trigger. And, when we're looking at an AR specifically, |
| 1:28.9 | we're using, it functions off of a different premise than a bolt gun trigger. |
| 1:33.9 | So, a bolt gun having a seer that when you press the trigger, it drops away from the apparatus |
| 1:39.5 | and the firing pin is allowed to go forward. So, it's a very simple design. The trigger mechanics |
| 1:45.6 | in a bolt gun trigger are probably just as complicated, but the end result is that when you pull |
| 1:50.8 | the trigger or press the trigger, however you say it, on a bolt gun, it's allowing something, |
