Overview

High up on our laundry list of AR-15 triggers is the accuracy-enhancing RISE Armament RA-434 High-Performance Trigger. It uniquely combines smoothness and speed for a serious upgrade in performance. The first of its kind, the RA-434 HPT is a premium trigger available at a mid-range cost.

The single-stage trigger system helps you shoot more accurately with less effort. It is ultra smooth to the break with a crisp, clean release. The quick reset and low overtravel allows for serious speed. Meanwhile, the friction-reducing premium nickel boron coating on interior parts allows for smoother contact surfaces. Lastly, a straight trigger blade allows for enhanced control and lighter-feeling pull weight. Speaking of which, the lightened trigger calls for a 3.5-pound pull weight.

The RA-434 fits most .308 and .223 AR-style platforms. The total unit weight is just 2.4 ounces. It also includes free anti-walk pins. We manufacture and assemble the trigger in our facility according to strict AS9100 aerospace requirements, which are more stringent than standard gun manufacturing requirements. The installation process is also easy, as the self-contained design makes it quick to install with no fine-tuning needed.

This trigger is as described. Breaks like glass. I added this to my Nexus lower to my Springfield Kuna. Shoots using ATRUIS Super Selektor like butter 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 Highly recommend this.

Bought a new trigger a few weeks ago. Went to install it and everything seemed fine. Went to test out this beautiful piece of machinery and sadly had a bunch of delayed resets had occurred. I email Ty at customer service and he quickly emailed me a return label to send it back to RISE. Just a few days later a new replacement trigger was in my mail. This time everything worked perfectly. Im so happy with the way it feels and functions as well as the customer service. Buy something you know has a great company support system, adding parts to Mil-Spec designs can always bring up issues. Would rate this particular support system an A+ and would recommend to anyone that asked.

I have 2 of these running in my his and hers 5.56 Nato AR15’s. We absolutely love the 434. The install was easy peasy and the triggers worked fine from get go! The break is like glass. No take up to speak of with minimum reset distance

After doing quite a bit of research while doing my first ever AR build, I came across this and decided to give it a shot. I’m so glad I did. Super easy install, and the trigger itself is miles above any stock trigger you may be working with. The break is super clean and crisp with a good reset, and the accuracy of my shots has noticeably improved. They don’t lie when they say top-tier for mid-range prices – I’ll be using RA again for future builds. If you’re on the fence, get it!

  2. I used to run SSA triggers, but since trying the 434, I have put it in every rifle I have. Tried a 545, and found that I actually like the 434 more. Every one of them is consistent. There is less than a .1lb break difference between all of them (thats 14 triggers folks). The only AR15s that don’t have this in the lower are the ones running FRTs. If I can find a way to cut a 434 to work with a S. Safety, it will go in the others. It’s too bad that RB Triggers is suing everyone, otherwise I would encourage Rise to make their own FRT based off this trigger. It would be beyond belief good.
    Thank you Rise! I truly appreciate you making this trigger at such a great price. And for those that have not done it yet, I recommend looking at the reflection off the hammer sear. You can read reflections all day long in them their so polished. QA is the Best!

  3. Great trigger, highly recommend

  4. I have put these triggers in the last three AR-15’s I’ve built. These triggers have a really smooth pull and a nice crisp break. I prefer the straight trigger over the curved and will not use any other triggers in my builds. I pair these with the Nikel Boron BCG’s and have the smoothest most reliable rifles I could have in my opinion.

    Thank you Rise A. for such quality products.
