The Timber Creek Outdoors AR Oversized Trigger Guard in Flat Dark Earth Cerakote delivers enhanced ergonomics and durability for AR-platform rifles. This precision-machined aluminum component addresses the limitations of standard mil-spec trigger guards with its enlarged opening and premium finish. Drop-in installation requires no permanent modifications to the lower receiver.
What Makes This Different
The oversized design provides 40% more finger clearance than standard trigger guards, accommodating gloved operation and larger hands without compromising trigger control. CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with military-grade Cerakote, this component resists corrosion, scratches, and chemical exposure far better than standard phosphate-coated guards. The enlarged opening measures 0.650 inches compared to the mil-spec 0.540 inches, creating noticeable improvement in accessibility.
