THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Watch this short video someone posted to youtube...this is EXACTLY what is happening to my trigger. Brand new, hammer spring installed correctly with the legs of the spring coming off the bottom of the wind.



Any help?

ETA: Think I solved it by lubing the back groove on the hammer where the disconnector grabs before the reset. Seems to be working okay now. Is this a common issue with new parts that haven't been lubed well?
Thanks, and gig 'em!

The entire FCG parts, including the pins, should have been CLP lubed before the FCG was installed.


Not only does this lube the parts, but helps the parts to rid themselves of long term storage grease (and anything that the grease may have collected).

OP, never dry fire like the meathead in your video with the hammer allowed to drop and strike against the magwell.

Absolutely not. I'd rather not crack the lower.

Thanks for the info Dano.
Thanks, and gig 'em!

That guy is an idiot. If he does not know how to properly func check the weapon how can he complain about the reset. I bet his disco spring is upside down and his magwell cracked.

Well my disco spring is not upside down and my hammer spring is on correctly...same problem. I think the lube helped and I'll chalk it up for now to un-lubed new parts.
Thanks, and gig 'em!

Is your trigger spring installed correctly? That's what provides the oomph to reset the trigger on release, so you don't have to push forward on the trigger from behind it.

If so, then it's likely a lube issue as mentioned above.
