Just here to drop a quick review on the Liberator bidirectional trigger system from Liberty Gun Works.
I paid a total of $261.35 for this trigger. The advertised $250 for the trigger, then I had to send my lower to them since it wasnt working properly. Included in the package is the Liberator Bidirectional trigger, a safety selector, and the Try ambi bolt release (used for helping not fire that second round) This isnt general discussion so I hope I am not bashed too much. It comes with instructions and warnings indicating what needs to be done when you dont want that second round fired...that involves removing the mag and ejecting the current round, all while holding the trigger I am not an expert with AR15's. I can follow the guides and piece together lowers. So once I received the trigger, I disassembled my lower, took out my original trigger and slide the bidirectional trigger in. Easy enough. It comes "assembled" being held together by a piece of meal that you can shove out when installing the trigger pin. That part was easy enough. However, after reassembling (with the included, seemingly standard safety selector) I had problems. The hammer would release with the slightest movement of the trigger (side to side, not release) and would follow my finger all with out a true release. I took it to my local range to try out and sure enough, I had a lot of failure to fires. After an odd number of rounds, I would attempt to release to fire and there would be no release. since the hammer was up already. I called up liberty gun works. I called a total of three times (two of which count, since the first call was after hours. I decided to check my installation before I left a message) On my second call I left a message explaining what was happening. I called again the following day and got an answer. They had heard my messaged and asked some basic questions (like if i feel i installed it right). After the questions, the only option was to send in my lower since it should be a drop in installation. Finally lined up shipping and got my lower sent out, they received it Monday, said they needed to work the disconnector a bit, bench tested it, and would field test it. I received it Saturday, and am happy to say that it works well with 556/223 and a 7.62x39 upper. So if you want a bidirectional trigger, this seems to be a good choice. There is no need to control how fast you pull the trigger, just pull, release, and smile. You do need to practice ejecting a round while holding a trigger, though. A- for the trigger:I think this trigger should be sold with the need for sending in your lower. With the dozens of different brand lowers, I am sure others would have the same problem as I did. B- for customer service. I had to call for an answer to my message I left. I am not sure how big this place is. PS. I did an initial call and had to leave a message to see if there was any lead time on a trigger and I received call back the next day. |

Sorry, just function testing, but it does feel like full auto. You need to pay attention or the gun will rise. And it is surprisingly hard to stop, but that might have been because I was mag dumping.
@pewpewpew This is something that interests me. I would love to see a "selectable" version...ie safe, (single) fire, bidirectional fire. But for now, I have this lower marked in RED to indicate it is special. |
