I purchased the torsion locking bar trip for my original Rare Breed trigger from Militia State Armory. After installation, the trigger will not reset if there is any pressure on the trigger and I am getting hammer follow. If I just pull the bolt back with my finger off the trigger, the hammer will lock back and the trigger will reset.

It feels like the hammer is not locking back when the bolt moves to the rear. Any idea what is going on?

Is this the fix for thst wonky spring that kinked up?

If so I did this about a year ago and it was so difficult.  I launched one spring and haven’t seen it since.  Good thing I bought two

Mine runs lights out now , but it just sits in the safe.  I can see if I can get a good pic of the install if you need it.  Can you post yours so we can compare?

im not sure what to take a pic of. It is so odd to me that the hammer won't lock back if there is any pressure on the trigger. Super weird. I do love this trip and spring design, but it is a bitch to install.

It looks installed correctly.  It interfaces from underneath


Pull it and press it back and forth and see if engages the trigger shoe itself

Mine clicks into place when I toggle the locking bar manually

I wonder if your ledge may be out of spec on the one you received?




Also how vertical is your spring pushing your bar?

When I installed the MSA bar, the hammer pin / sleeve slipped out of the cassette.  I basically had to re-assemble the pack.  If this happened to you, you’ll want to ensure it was re-assembled correctly.

I ended up putting duct tape along the sides of the cassette to keep the pins from sliding out.

Here is the ledge difference between the RB and the replacement.


it is not 90* if that matters.

That angle may be enough not to lock it out.

Have you pressed underneath the trigger shoe and see if it “locks in” = resets?

Is it catching somewhere or need lubricant?

Can you press the bar rearward with your thumb or will it not move past that angle

I can manually make it reset (while holding down the trigger), but it won't do it with an upper attached.
