AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a modular trigger that can be easily installed in a semi-automatic rifle. It increases the firing rate and reduces the pull effort required for accurate shots. The trigger also improves ammunition utilization and can be easily replaced without hiring a gunsmith. In summary, the technical effects of this invention include increased efficiency, reduced effort, improved accuracy, and better ammunition utilization.

Problems solved by technology

It is known that stock triggers in AR-15 style rifles have triggers with accuracy-robbing characteristics, such as, but not limited to, excessive trigger take-up and a propensity to accumulate grit in the trigger mechanism causing trigger creep that makes for inconsistent trigger let-off.
