| My SSA-E has almost no resistance on the 1st stage. Is there a way to install this trigger wrong? |
|
Quoted:
Did you get it new or used? If used, perhaps the spring is bad or has been substituted Brand new. Wondering if they accidentally sent me a diff. trigger. Either that or I put it in wrong. There is VERY little resistance in 1st stage, only 2nd stage do you feel resistance when it breaks. Prob. going to take it to a buddy (gunsmith) to re-install just to be safe. |

What's your total pull? If it's even lighter than a regular SSA-E, I'll trade you a new in package SSA-E for yours!
Sounds like a good problem to me. If your rifle passes the function check, it's probably installed correctly. The only obvious thing to check is to be sure the hammer spring is positioned corectly on the hammer and check to be sure the hammer spring legs are resting where they should be and not bent in or anything. ETA: My SSA-E's don't have much take up on the 1st stage, they're very smooth and light in the first stage - feels like it's almost non existent when compared to a 7-8 lb mass produced, gritty factory trigger. |

OP - The first stage is going to be about 2lbs with a real smooth pull. It will feel completely difference than a stock mil-spec trigger. All of your first stage weight is based off of your trigger spring. Your second stage weight is based off of your disconnect spring. If you want to shoot us a picture of it installed, we'd be more than happy to take a look at it. Our e-mail address is [email protected]

I have a SSA-E...love it...like others have said light smooth 1st stage...nothing like factory trigger.
Hey how about Geissele CS Arty answering on a Saturday...WOW....!!! I need a Super SCAR trigger for my 17....getting it probably in a few weeks. Love Geissele! |
| I have 9 of them installed. As noted the first stage is about 2 pounds but feels much less the second stage is 1.2 pounds. It sounds like it's OK but if you have a trigger pull gauge or can borrow one to check out the pull do that. Or send a photo to Geissele as requested. The trigger is difficult to install incorrectly. I.d first look at the diagram sent with the trigger. If it looks the same you are gtg. Better to be safe than sorry. |

Quoted: Are you sure? It's really light by design. If you watched the installation video (youtube), I'm guessing you installed it just fine.

Yep, I didn't assume anything before trying to install it, and just watched the youtube video and followed it step by step.. Can't screw that up.  ETA: And seeing above posts, Geissele doesn't just make arguably the best triggers on the market, their customer service is amazing.  |

Did I forget to mention how awesome their triggers are as well  .

Quoted: Here are 2 pics, hopefully you can see enough but if not let me know. I shot a friends SSA-E a while back, but just can't remember if it felt like mine. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o131/coolbrze/ssae1_zpsfcc3234a.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o131/coolbrze/ssae2_zpsed25c8ec.jpg Looks exactly like mine does. You should be GTG. Unless we both screwed up the installation, but I highly doubt it.

I would get a tester for the pull weight. If you don't have one, your local gunsmith or gun shop should probably have something to test the pull weight. We'd be more than happy to take a look at it if you wanted to send it in but judging from the pictures, everything is installed correctly. The SSA-E has such an incredibly smooth first stage that the resistance will seem minimal. -Geissele Customer Service |
