The Sig 522 trigger breaks clean but my problem with this rifles trigger is the HEAVY first stage take up in the trigger that makes it hard to tell when the second stage or break is coming.
Since the safety blocks the trigger movement and the hammer/sear break is clean, all it needs is a spring change for a really nice trigger.
I didn't want to modify the heavy stock spring, and Sig isn't the greatest place to get extra parts or deal with warranty after mods,,, so I saved the stock spring and modified a used AR-15 hammer spring from the parts bin .
(Top is Sig and bottom AR)
Then I cut and bent the lighter AR spring to fit the hammer then curved the front to ride the shaft of the safety. I left the front "out" the way it was and coiled it "in" when installing the safety back in.
(A word about springs, they are brittle and can break so sometimes its best to heat the part you are bending.)
Here is a pic of both stock spring (top) and lighter AR spring (bottom installed)
When removing the safety you have to work on the left side and remove the roll pin, remove left safety lever pull the safety shaft out from left to tight.
To remove the trigger you have to push down on the safety detent spring then remove the pin.
When installing the trigger pin, make sure the safety detent spring is hooked over the top of the hammer then under the groove in the trigger pin then up on top of the safety shaft dimples.
**MAKE SURE you test for trigger and disconnector for reset** and as always, test any modded firearm loading only two rounds at a time to test for safety at the range.
The trigger is now MUCH BETTER and more like a two stage AR trigger where the pull in take up is lighter and you can feel where the 2nd stage or the break is and you can feel the reset for follow up shots.
