Ruger® Elite 452™ MSR Trigger
so, it ships in a sorta lower receiver with a pistol grip that you don't actually use?

For those who have not seen it......... From Ruger's page:
http://shopruger.com/Ruger-Elite-452-MSR-Trigger/productinfo/90461/
Detailed Description
The Ruger® Elite 452™ MSR trigger is the perfect upgrade for any Modern Sporting Rifle*. This new two-stage trigger offers a smooth, crisp, 4.5 lb. trigger pull and a lightweight hammer that enables a 30% faster lock time over standard MSR triggers. The Ruger® Elite 452™ also features a full-strength hammer spring for consistent primer ignition and includes a safety selector and all necessary pins and springs for easy installation. Packaged with an ergonomic, optimized trigger-reach, polymer pistol grip, the Ruger® Elite 452™ is shipped fully assembled in a polymer fire control housing which allows the trigger to be dry-fired prior to installation, and the assembly can also serve as a trigger manipulation training tool. * Fits any MSR receiver with .154" trigger/hammer pins.

They're making a new drop in, after market trigger for the 10/22 as well.

Still waiting on that muzzle brake for my GSR.

Modern Sporting Rifle aka AR15.

My thoughts to Peg.
Is the pistol grip usable?
And like so many of these announcements, they're useless without a price point.

DUH...I saw the use of Modern Sporting Rifle in the product description and thought it was a good touch....but I think they were on different lines of the ad...how much retention should one person have?? :P

Price per link above is $160........ don't know if the grip swaps....it appears not.
Never saw it before.......I just posted so folks could see what it is.

I"m pretty sure you don't get the pistol grip assembly with the trigger, I think it was just a cut away to show the trigger assembly in place.

I don't understand why Ruger just doesn't put these triggers into their higher end line of AR's and 10/22's right out of the box? There are a lot of shooters that would be more than happy to pay the extra money to have a factory installed improved trigger. It's one of the first things many shooters change out on a new weapon.
If you look at the added cost of the Target 10/22 models, over the standard "Wal-Mart versions", a few extra bucks for a good, target trigger wouldn't be a game changer. Same with their higher end AR's. Their top of the line AR's are quite expensive as it is. Especially in the .308 models. A few bucks more for a great trigger would be a welcome expense for most shooters considering one of these models. Especially shooters who are not gunsmith savvy, but who would appreciate a really nice trigger.

Okay, $160 is good. There are other quality triggers in the $150-180 range though. And just jump a bit more to ~$240 to get drop-ins like Timney.
However, for someone doing their first build the idea of having a "demonstrator" and having the Ruger name, might make this a rather hot seller.

I stand corrected,I wonder how much cheaper it would be without the housing?

American Rifleman says this:

The assembly also includes the hammer and trigger pins, a safety lever, a Ruger logo AR grip, and a grip mounting screw, all of which can be installed in most mil-spec AR lowers.
