What trigger should I use for my PCC?

Selecting the right AR Gold trigger for your Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) rifle is crucial for optimal performance and reliability. Due to the lack of industry standardization in the PCC platform, bolt identification is the most reliable method for determining trigger compatibility.

Why Bolt Identification Matters:

• PCC Platform Variability: Unlike standard AR-15 and AR-10 rifles, PCCs exhibit significant variations in bolt carrier design, which directly affects trigger compatibility.
• Cocking Line Differences: The "cocking line" (the position of the bolt carrier relative to the hammer) varies between PCC bolt types, requiring different trigger configurations.

Identifying Your PCC Bolt Type:

There are two main types of PCC bolts:

• Common AR Configuration PCC Breech-Bolt (High Cocking Line):
  • Description: This type has a cocking-line that sits significantly higher relative to the trigger than a standard AR15 Bolt Carrier Group.
  • Visual Identification: Look for a carrier-keyway cut that extends all the way forward to the bolt face. Using a caliper, this measurement will be around 0.775 inches.
  • AR Gold Trigger Compatibility: The PCC AR Gold trigger should work without issue with this common bolt.
• Less Common Bolt (Lower Cocking Line):
  • Description: This type has a lower cocking-line, closer to a large frame .308 setup.
  • Visual Identification: The carrier-keyway slot stops before the bolt face. There will be a lateral flat cut across the bolt above the boldface. Using a caliper, this measurement will be around 0.740 inches.
  • AR Gold Trigger Compatibility: The PCC AR Gold trigger will likely work with this less common bolt, provided there is sufficient clearance.

Key Takeaways:

• Bolt identification is essential for selecting the correct AR Gold trigger for your PCC.
• Different bolt types have different cocking lines, affecting trigger compatibility.
• The PCC AR Gold trigger should work without issue with the common bolt.
• The PCC AR Gold trigger will likely work with the less common bolt, provided there is sufficient clearance.

• (Please provide information on part swaps, guarantees, or other support options.)
