Rise Armament Rave 140 Curved Trigger

Product Description

The Rise Armament Rave 140 Curved Trigger is a drop-in trigger assembly designed for AR-15 and AR-10 pattern rifles. It delivers a single-stage pull with a curved trigger shoe, making it a popular choice for shooters upgrading from factory mil-spec trigger groups.

This trigger is built to install without permanent modification to your lower receiver. The self-contained cassette design simplifies installation and removal compared to loose-pin trigger kits.

Shooters choose the Rave 140 for range builds, home defense rifles, and competition setups where a clean break and short reset improve control and follow-up speed.

How the Rave 140 Curved Trigger Installs

Drop-in triggers like the Rave 140 arrive as a self-contained cassette. Two pins secure the assembly in your lower receiver, the same pins that hold a standard trigger and hammer. No fitting or stoning is required in most builds.

Installation time is typically under ten minutes for someone familiar with AR platform assembly. The cassette keeps the small springs, disconnector, and hammer captured inside the housing, which reduces the chance of lost parts during installation or future maintenance.

If you are building a complete lower or upgrading an existing rifle, browse our lower parts selection for buffer assemblies, stocks, and grips.

Curved vs. Flat Trigger Bows

The Rave 140 uses a curved trigger bow, the same shape found on mil-spec triggers. Curved bows feel familiar to shooters trained on standard-issue rifles and allow the finger to naturally rest in the center of the shoe.

Flat triggers offer a different finger contact point across the entire width of the shoe. Some competition shooters prefer flat triggers for benchrest or precision work, while others find curved bows better for rapid strings of fire.

Choosing between the two comes down to shooting style and personal preference. Neither design is inherently more accurate. The trigger break characteristics—weight, crispness, and reset—matter more than bow geometry for most applications.

What to Know Before Ordering

Confirm your lower receiver is in-spec before ordering any drop-in trigger. Out-of-spec pin holes or hammer pockets can prevent proper installation. If you are unsure, our gunsmiths can inspect your lower and confirm compatibility.

Some drop-in triggers require specific safety selectors or anti-walk pin sets. Call 817-393-4000 to confirm what is needed for your build.

Rise Armament triggers are designed for sporting use. Check your local and state regulations if you intend to use this trigger in a rifle subject to agency or department policies.
