This guide details the installation and operation of the Wide Open Trigger (WOT), a hard reset trigger designed to increase the cyclic rate of an AR-15 platform. It emphasizes the need for specific components like an H2 buffer and M16 BCG, and highlights the "finesse" required for proper operation to avoid action seizure. While not ideal for pinpoint accuracy, the WOT offers a significant "fun factor" and collector value.

Quick Summary

The Wide Open Trigger (WOT) is a "hard reset" trigger for AR-15s, enabling faster cyclic rates. It requires an H2 buffer and M16 BCG for optimal function. Operation demands "finesse" to avoid action seizure, making it more about "fun factor" and collector value than pinpoint accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Wide Open Trigger (WOT)?

The Wide Open Trigger (WOT) is a "hard reset" trigger modification for AR-15 platforms designed to significantly increase the firearm's cyclic rate, allowing for faster semi-automatic firing. It requires specific components for optimal function.

What components are recommended for the Wide Open Trigger?

For optimal performance and reliability with the Wide Open Trigger, it is recommended to use an H2 buffer and an M16 profile bolt carrier group. These components help manage the increased cycling speed.

How do you operate the Wide Open Trigger effectively?

Operating the WOT requires "finesse." Shooters must find a specific rhythm and avoid pulling too hard, as excessive force can cause the action to seize. Practice is key to mastering its rapid-fire capability.

Is the Wide Open Trigger suitable for professional use?

While the WOT offers a significant "fun factor" and collector appeal, professional users generally find standard semi-automatic triggers more suitable for tasks requiring high accuracy. The WOT excels in applications prioritizing rate of fire over pinpoint precision.
