Greetings,
I posted back in June about an issue I had with an Area53 lower. I couldn't figure out what the issue was. Basically the bolt catch would not work properly. In order for it to engage the bolt, you had to press on it very hard. Even then if you slightly bumped the rifle, it would send the bolt forward. I contacted Steve with Area53. He told me there was a tooling issue on some of their lowers that had gone unnoticed. He advised me to send it back and he would fix it for free. After I sent it, he contacted me and told me he had fixed the issue and as an apology he would do some custom work on the trigger, install the dog bone anti-walk pins and upgrade my buffer tube, buffer and spring. I told him I appreciated it but I did not want him to feel obligated to do so. I only wanted the bolt catch fixed. He told me that it was imperative that customer satisfaction was always taken seriously and he and his company would stand for nothing less. He said if I did not want him to upgrade my weapon, he would not but as an apology he would for free. I told him to go ahead and I very much appreciated it. Two days later, my weapon was back in my hands. Flawless operation. The trigger is a mil spec trigger but after the work Steve did, it feels every bit as good as my Geissele single stage trigger in my patrol rifle. Anyway point being, I apologize for not updating my original post. I attempted to find it and update it but I couldn't locate it on the forum. As far as Area53 goes, they have my support. Excellent service. Excellent products. If I can figure out how, I will post some pics of this rifle, my .300 BLK build and my TBRC AR I just picked up. Thank y'all. |

Quoted:
That's a dangerous game to be playing with a Mil-spec trigger. I would never buy a lower from a guy willing to alter the hardened sear surfaces of a standard trigger. This man speaks the truth. OP- only the very outside of your trigger was hardened at the factory, and Mr. Wrong tooling just removed at LEAST a good chunk of it. |
| He actually just adjusted the set screws, put in a jp spring kit, put some grease on the contact points and the anti walk braces. I suppose the term "trigger job" usually means somebody getting a little too carried away with the polish, stoning and cutting springs, thus resulting in improper sear angles and such. I got you. I should have better articulated the "trigger job" Steve did. I wouldn't trust a trigger that had been modified in such a way, no matter who had done the work. Good looking out gentlemen. |
