Ammo is like food
SCAR any chance of trying out the trigger when it warms up? I can provided the ammo and a AR if needed
Thanks for the write up. I did the purchase backwards, bought the Ares MCR035 upper (few months ago), then the trigger (yesterday). How long did it take for your 3MR to ship?
I have about 1200 rounds linked...can't wait till range day. Hope rounds don't get caught like last time at every 6th or 7th shot.

Get Opp my rawn, Plick!
i bought the MCR last years as well as a token to the FU MOM campaign. I have not tried the Tac con on it yet.
The trigger took about three months to ship.( as it was part of the initial pre order batch)
Im also waiting on a full auto bolt for the MCR. this is why I still cant use it with a registered m16 lower. For now, I may try it out with a Defend-AR stock ( borrowed from my brother) and compare that to a tac con upgraded lower.
I have a RLL inbound.. that should work with a semi auto bolt but it is stuck in BATFE purgatory. ( last transfer took almost 18 months)
trying out the tac con and the bump stocks...im partial to the bumpstocks in terms of ease of use. at the expense of uglyfying the gun. last weekend, i tried out the tac con, I can do some burst... but was unable to do complete mag dumps. still inconsistent at this point. There is potential there...
thinking out loud.... not sure how the tac con will work with a heavier gun like a fully loaded ARES MCR beltfed with a 200 round mag and mall ninja accessories. 16-15 lb weapon. if the mass soaks up the recoil, the bump fire method may not work too well. i guess... less is more applies here.
a friend was able to employ the trigger more consistently. he was almost able to do a complete mag dump.

How does it compare to a Geisselle SD3G?
Awesome! I sorta did the same thing. My thought was, with a belt fed, the only limit is the barrel and money. I tried to purchase a FA bolt from Ares but the rep on the phone told me they don't/won't sell any rifle parts to MD residents. I ended up getting my magazine adapter for the saw box/nutsac from Ruben.
My friends and I took the belt-fed out to AGC to break it in. No problem with the magazine feed, but links/off the belt performance has been inconsistent. I saw couple of posts from users on ar15 and snipershide forums who had the same problem. I ended up getting some nickle links, going to test those out soon to see if it is an improvement over steel links.

Bill Geissele has confirmed on AR15.com that he is working on a "third mode" trigger that offers a 2 stage trigger in "semi" mode, and a light single stage trigger in "full" mode. Think of a SSA in semi and a S3G in full. He says the price will be around $325.00. No one will buy a Taccon trigger (at any price) when Geissele unleashes that trigger.

If they make it even lighter than a SD3G in the 3rd position, that would be exceedingly fun.

Indeed!
Geissele also said that since the Taccon came out, they've been selling the SD3G like never before :-)

Ha!
I'm sure it definitely hasn't hurt them, disappointed buyers going after a known performer after being let down by the 3mr.
