I have an RRA LPK where the disconnector does not fit with the trigger.  It is apprears that the disconnector is bent slightly.  Anybody have this problem before?  Do I need to buy a new disconnector?  I'm open to suggestions.  Thanks.

You have to push the disconnector down against the spring to insert the axis pin.
The disconnector does look a little bit warped but it will still work fine.

If it is slightly bent, lay it on a flat surface and give it some light taps with a smooth face hammer until it is straight.

Unfortunately it won't push down.  I was rather surprised since the other RRA kit I purchased at the same time went together fine. I will try the light hammer tap method suggested.  Thank you.

Unfortunately,this has been happening since the demand went out of sight. Some minor Quality problems do Occur when companies rush to increase production.
The Hammer Idea should be good or a large flat jaw vise would do the same.

I had the same problem with RRA lower part kit. Had to Dremel the channel in the trigger and stone the sharp edges. I used narrow stone which did not hit the opposite wall of the channel, The disconnector spring was also rubbing in it's channel

Actually I'm relieved to see that someone besides myself ended up with a disconnecter that looks like this. Mine was also a RRA LPK. I had one and the only way I could describe it was that it looked like a stamped part and the dies were off. I did the hammer thing to straighten it out but I didn't end up using light taps. It took some serious striking. Unfortunately where the hammer and disconnecter mated the hammer was machined like a file and would not release when the trigger was released, it had striations that went side to side on the hammer hook. I spent the better part of a couple hours trying to save this trigger, much stoning and emery cloth on the hook. In the end it all worked out very well and felt excellent. I put a set of JP Reduced Power Springs in with it and it broke cleanly at 4.25 lbs. It is a nice trigger with zero take up and no over travel. I should have sent it back but it was right in the middle of the "I can't get a LPK" syndrome and I was keeping what I had.

I've been saying this for quite some time, and it is the reason why I'm personally holding off on purchasing spares, or building a new weapon.

Disconnectors appear to be a stamped part, and I can see how this could have been bent in the process and slipped passed a shotty QC.

Good point, since November I have only bought stripped lowers from Anvil (which are perfect), a Colt 6920 and I have pieced together a complete BCM midlength rifle (when the lowers ship) so I have avoided any QC problems.

The RRA bolt stop I received was "twisted" and would not seat in the receiver.
Yep....check your parts...there are quality control issues out there.....

I had the same issue about a week ago. I Noticed the disconnector spring is bigger on one side and would not let the disconnector push all the way in. So i turnd the big side down and it worked flawlessly. Sorta had to use a screwing motion to get the spring to seat.

The big end of the disconnector spring is supposed to face down, thats what holds it into the trigger channel

No QC issue there, like said before, everything shaped and working as designed, you incorrectly assembled it the first time, then fixed it by correctly assembling it the 2nd time, yes, twisting the interference fit of the larger end of the spring into the trigger works well, just make sure you twist the right direction.  The direction that causes the spring to squish in and become smaller as you twist, and NOT the direction that causes the spring expand out and fight you, if you force it that direction, you'll damage the spring.

Well, I figured out that the channel in the trigger is cut too narrow.  A second disconnector that was not bent does not fit, but does fit on another trigger I have.  That's 2 bad parts in one kit.  I guess that one kit was packed on a bad day.
