I’ve been waiting for several months now to announce this, but with the NRA Show being cancelled, things slipped to the right. Dillon Rifle Company has just launched their website and revealed the new OPAR Trigger.
DRC is the brain child of Chris Dillon, the president of Dillon Aero. His point man is Brodie Renner who is a retired Navy SEAL. One of his passions has been to create products that offer improvements. You’ll need to read the story on why Brodie worked on the new OPAR Trigger to appreciate what it offers.
The On Patrol AR Trigger is offered in both curved and straight models.
Both are complete assembly pre-stage drop-in triggers and are compatible with AR-15 and HK416 rifles using Mil-Spec 0.154″ pins.
Although the OPAR Pre-Stage trigger is designed to reduce the likelihood of accidental discharges, it is not intended as a rifle’s primary safety. The Pre-Stage trigger requires two separate actions that must be completed in the proper sequence for the trigger to trip the sear. It has a secondary trigger inset in the primary trigger shoe. This secondary trigger moves a trigger block that prevents the sear from disengaging.
Specs:
Free pre-stage pull weight: 1.0 to 1.5 lbs.
Trigger pull weight: 5.0 to 5.5 lbs.
Total work energy to pull trigger without any preliminary loading on the primary trigger:
0.58 ft-lb (0.79 Joules)
Total work energy to pull trigger with 3.5 lbs. loaded on the primary trigger:
169.14 ft-lb (229.32 Joules)
Total work energy to pull trigger with 6.0 lbs. loaded on the primary trigger:
289.60 ft-lb (392.65 Joules)
Overtravel: 0.030 inches
Additionally, DRC has a new line of very high end shooting accessories. I saw the Range Bucket at Warrior East and fell in love with it.
In 2022, they plan on releasing a full rifle.
