The history of why Larue decided to start making triggers is also very interesting and funny for those that do not know.
Going back to like 2001, G was the gold standard trigger. Larue at the time time was in their heyday of making rifles and everyone came with a G trigger. Mark Larue was a huge fan and support of Bill G and then the unthinkable happened.
A unit from the US military approached Bill G about making a scope mount. They were already supplying socom with triggers and their AR 15 rail systems were getting much more popular plus they made the aftermarket rail for the 416.
So Bill came up with the Super Precision Mounts most of you see today. Mark Larue blew a gasket and publicly cried out how Bill was a traitor for entering into the scope mount market. Larue was probably the biggest player in the scope mount market, even though their mounts were already obsolete and shitty compared to existing designs (Bobro, GDI, ADM,ect).
So to get back, Mark was going to put G out of the trigger business so he spent a ton of time and money (Probally hundreds of thousands) to buy EDM machines and come up with a trigger s7 tool steel and all this other shit. Not only that, He priced it so low he was trying to buy the entire market and crush Bill G. He must have been selling at a loss or break even (Around $75).
Larue had plenty of fanboys so they bought up the triggers. They were good, but people quickly realized they weren't the G killer Larue touted them as. At $75 or so they were a great high quality budget trigger, but no one was replacing their Hi Speed or SSA for one.
So eventually Mark jacked the price up to like $200 or something. They stopped selling. So he had to drop the price back to to like $80 to get them to sell again. For the last 5 years or so the prices cycle up and down through the year. The best deal is to buy the 5 packs for $75 each or whatever. They purposely delay shipping on these for months to make you think the reason its so cheap is you have to wait for it, as some marketing gimmick shit. If they were cheap and instantly available, their perceived quality would be even lower. Makes sense from a marketing standpoint but if you are watching whats going on its not hard to see through the BS. If you buy a new rifle or large order of other shit, It will ship or they will just throw the triggers in the package.
By now Mark has sold so many of the trigger he has probally paid off the machining and can opperate at lower margins. 90% of the shit they used to sell nobody wants anymore so its probably one of the only things keeping the business going. This company bassicaly stopped invoating like 10 years ago and are still selling shit from 20 years ago with little/no product improvements. The UU kits were a good value until they jacked up the price.
