It's one of the most-installed precision triggers in the AR world, and it's built in Texas, like this Kabuto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"pw-p\"\u003eHere's the problem it created: generic Kabuto housings are shaped around mil-spec fire control groups.

The \u003cstrong\u003eLaRue Cut Kabuto ends that\u003c\/strong\u003e — the underside of the housing is machined to the MBT's actual geometry, so engagement is right by design, not by fitment session.
