Questions & Answers
does it come with a trigger for the lower or do I need to get one. I'd so what is recommended. Expert Answer

You would need to get a trigger separately as well as a majority of the lower receiver and its parts. The trigger recommendation is dependent on your budget and what features you want. Please email us at techsales@opticsplanet.com with a price range and any preferences and we can look into trigger options.
