TRIGGER Compatibility
While this housing is designed to work with AR-15 triggers, not all triggers may be compatible. It has been found that some triggers use a longer hammer which will catch on the recoil spring inside of the gun causing light strikes or no strike at all. See image below.

“Rapid-fire” triggers and devices are banned here in Maryland. Function of FRTs, Super Safety, binary triggers, and similar devices has not been tested and cannot be confirmed to work. Use of these devices is at your own risk.
More information will be added as it becomes available.

Grip compatibility
I like it a lot but I'm only giving it four stars due to the lack of grip compatibility information at this time. None of my Magpul or HK grips work with it due to the beavertails they have.

Anything’s better than a HK trigger
Initial looks are great, no tooling marks and a consistent finish. Can use cheap, simple, better triggers and once SS is developed it’ll be fun. Fit snuggly into my S5 receiver, only downside is you can only use grips without a beaver tail/tang. Rip to using my beloved MOE K2+ until I decide to chop it.
