Rise Armament PERFORMANCE Triggers: Fast Reset for AR 308/.223

When milliseconds matter behind the trigger, the right fire-control component changes everything. In field and range drills alike, a crisp, predictable break and a lightning-fast reset let you make each follow-up shot count without fighting your rifle.

RISE ARMAMENT RA-535 HIGH PERFORMANCE

Why upgrade your AR trigger?

Every shooter — from hunters and competitive shooters to professionals — benefits from a trigger that reduces shooter-induced error and speeds up target acquisition. A factory trigger often has excess travel, vague reset, and heavier pull weights that slow you down. A purpose-built aftermarket trigger focuses on three things: a clean break, minimal over-travel, and a fast reset. Those three factors are exactly what the RISE ARMAMENT RA-535 HIGH PERFORMANCE targets.

Key features of the RISE ARMAMENT RA-535 HIGH PERFORMANCE

Fast reset and minimal over-travel

The RA-535 is engineered for a crazy-fast reset and nearly nonexistent over-travel. That means your finger doesn’t have to hunt for the break on the next shot — the trigger snaps back to a tactile, ready position instantly. For drills where speed matters, that quick return shaves time off every follow-up shot without sacrificing control.

Smoother, crisper, lighter pull

With a pull weight of 3.5 lbs, the RA-535 balances control and responsiveness. The lightened pull and super-crisp release reduce the force needed to fire while maintaining a predictable break, helping shooters tighten groups and speed target transitions.

Precision construction and finish

Rise Armament CNC machines the fire-control components from high-grade, heat-treated tool steel and aluminum. The bright red hardcoat anodized aluminum housing isn’t just cosmetic — the finish increases durability and corrosion resistance while giving the trigger a distinctive look. The self-contained design removes the need for extra tuning; it’s built to perform out of the box.

Installation and compatibility

The RA-535 is a single-stage trigger group that’s designed to be easy to install. It ships with free anti-rotation pins and is a self-contained unit, so you won’t be spending hours dialing in springs or geometry. Compatibility is broad: the unit is intended to work with most .308 and .223 AR-style platforms, making it a versatile upgrade whether you run an AR-10 or an AR-15 style rifle.

Why .308 and .223 compatibility matters

Choosing a trigger compatible with both .308 and .223 AR platforms gives you flexibility. .223/.556 platforms are common for training, varmint hunting, and defensive applications thanks to lighter recoil and flatter trajectories at short-to-mid ranges. .308-class rifles offer extended reach and terminal performance for hunting and long-range work. A single trigger solution that fits both families simplifies parts selection and standardizes trigger feel across different rifles.

Performance in real-world use

On the range the RA-535’s combination of straight trigger feel with a comfortable curved face and rapid reset improves both accuracy and split times. For tactical drills or timed competitions, the quick reset shortens the interval between shots. For precision-oriented shooters, the crisp break and reduced over-travel reduce the chance of moving the rifle during the break.

Durability and serviceability

Materials and machining matter when a trigger sees thousands of cycles. Heat-treated tool steel and anodized aluminum housing increase longevity and resistance to wear. Because the RA-535 is a self-contained assembly with anti-rotation pins included, routine maintenance is straightforward and the design resists common failure modes associated with poorly fitted or loosely indexed components.

Practical considerations and pricing

At $155.69, the RISE ARMAMENT RA-535 HIGH PERFORMANCE positions itself as a premium yet affordable upgrade for shooters seeking meaningful improvements in trigger feel and reset without expensive gunsmith labor. The included anti-rotation pins and plug-and-play nature eliminate add-on costs, and installation can often be completed at home with basic armorer tools.

Who should consider the RA-535?

This trigger is a strong fit for recreational shooters wanting a better range experience, competitive shooters who need faster splits, and professionals requiring reliable, repeatable trigger performance. If you value a fast reset, near-zero over-travel, and a crisp 3.5-lb pull weight, this unit delivers those outcomes in a compact, durable package.
