A few months ago I performed the "15 Minute Practical Trigger Job for the AR-15." It was easy, cheap, and the trigger is sooooo much better than was. However, I have a new problem. Every now and again the trigger pivot pin starts to creep out of its hole on the right (non-safety) side. Once it pops out of its hole on the right, it creeps no further, but the trigger is 100% inoperable. The range fix is to remove the upper, realign the pin with the hole and push it back into place. It's easy to remedy at the range, but cuts into the fun, and is kinda embarrassing if it occurs when someone else is firing it.
And if zombies are in the area, you don't want your trigger to fail. Any suggestions that don't involve expensive drop-in trigger groups? Thanks! |
| I have seen after market hammer springs with the two legs wanting to travel to the middle .. with hammer spring out, the legs should be at a slight angle away from each other. If not, bend them out a little. The DPMS LPK I put in the CAR I gave to my son was like that and I had to bend it out from the middle.y |

For future reference the very front pin that mates the two receivers is the "pivot" pin! The rear pin mating receivers is the "takedown" pin! Other pins are just pins! IE: trigger pin, hammer pin, sear pin etc....
+2 check that the hammer spring legs are engaged properly! You might have an out if spec lower, or the pin hole might have opened up! In which case you should look for the KNY? Pin holders! A device that connects to both pins, and prevents drift! I think their also called anti drift pins? |
