| I got a "nice" trigger for my birthday a while back. After I put it in my gun, I quickly learned that it had problems. When the disconnector disengaged the hammer would fall not reset. I sent it back and got another one within a few days. I put the new one in and I have the same problem about 50% of the time. Any suggestions or should I just call it a day and stick with the single stage RRA. For $190 I expect it to operate and not be so damn finicky. |

If it's adjustable your going to have to play with it. Not uncommon. If you keep getting lemons on a non-adjustable I would just write it off and try a new brand or just forget it. Get a trigger job on a single stage.
It would help if you named the trigger. I'm just guessing but is it a RRA 2 stage? |

What type of trigger is it? For $190 I would hope its not an RRA two stage. Alexandar Arms Tactical Trigger. I didn't want to bring up the name because I emailed AA and they offered to do the install if I sent it to them which is very respectable and I don't want to be spreading bad press. I just don't want to go through the hassle. Plus, if something goes wrong I don't want to be shipping my lower all over the place. |

To each his own, but I have found that any true NM type trigger does take a bit of adjustment to get it up to match grade readiness in the receiver it's being placed. On the ones without adjustments, only about 1% of the time will be perfect to match grade standards when dropped in, with the rest of the time either tad too sloppy or a tad too tight to work correctly (veriances in the receivers they are being installed to).
If you like the trigger group, then send the rifle in to have it smith fitted by them. On the other hand, if you do not smith parts well and what something that you can adjusts you self with set screws, then you may seek out another type of trigger than does offer such. |

Its not a NM trigger which is why I don't get it. It is a tactical trigger that is meant to be ran hard. That is why I am not happy that it is so touchy. If I was bench shooting and it wasn't going to be getting knocked around all of the time I would gladly send it in. |

The standard trigger design has very proven over the years. With a little smithing on it, clean breaking and trigger pull under 4lb is easily obtainable.
If combat is the use for the rig, then stay with the stock trigger, send a few dollars to have it cleaned up through smithing and call is done. |
