nheiny13 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Elftmann Tactical and Tooth & Nail VR80 trigger comparison. Short answer: Elftmann trigger for the win. Long answer: the T&N trigger is cheaper, slight easier to install and has that classic curved trigger feel, but has a bit of creep that is a little jerky before it breaks. I have about 300 rounds on it and Armite sear grease was applied. Trigger weight is 3.5lbs The Elf trigger is a just a little tricky to install. My issue was getting the holes in the hammer perfectly lined up before installing the screws and I ended up, very slightly, cross threading it. I easily fixed it by chasing the threads with a tap. Once installed, I applied Armite. The break was very crisp with no perceptible movement. Trigger weighed 3-3.25 lbs and is brand new with no break in. The Elf trigger comes with both the curved and flat trigger shoe and can be moved up and down. Move it up for less trigger travel but higher trigger weight and down for lower trigger weight but more travel. Both triggers seen to have the same amount of overtravel.

VU2AKILL Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I am pretty happy with my T&N trigger. Massive improvement over stock obviously. Light pull weight with a tiny hint of creep. Makes shooting accurate slug shots much easier. Install was easy and it has simply worked. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swehkamp Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Did you have problems with lite strikes using the Elf trigger? Edited May 24, 2020 by Swehkamp Misspelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busdriver Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Cannot speak for the OP, however I’m also running the ELF trigger. Have not had any light strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmiller11 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 my elf trigger doesnt want to reset half the time during install and then is totally dead on reassembly. any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter01 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 The reason I didn't buy the T&N was that they play the game of giving a low price then jack up the price crazy shipping 32.00. The elf shipping 10.00 that tells me the kind of company/people I'd be dealing with if there was a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
