| Installing a ALG trigger system on a Seekins 223 lower. I cannot get the trigger to release the hammer. |

Quoted:
hahaha sorry guys! OK this is my first build so NOOB all the way. I started with the trigger assembly, the safety and fire selection switch is NOT installed yet...that the cause?! No, if the selector switch isn't even there, then that's not the issue. Have you double checked your spring positions? EDIT: Ok, now I see your pics... |

When you pull the trigger, does it move at all? As you cock the hammer, can you see the trigger bar move down then click into the sear?
Assuming you can cock the hammer, then the trigger bar must be able to move far enough to disengage the sear. I'm also hoping that you're holding the hammer while you pull the trigger to keep it from smacking into the bolt release or divider -- that can easily cause damage to the lower. ETA: In your second pic it looks like the hammer is a bit farther cocked than normal. Are you sure that it's not catching on the disconnector and never resetting? |

| I bought a ALG (act) trigger last week and installed it on a PSA lower. I used the Brownells videos on how to build a lower and the trigger works fine. Hope you can resolve the issue maybe check out the video and rebuild it and see if you missed something. good luck! |
| I have had a trigger that required installing the selector first and then sliding the trigger in afterwards. I know it is not supposed to work that way but in this particular instance it was the only way I could get the trigger and selector into the same lower. FYI, it was a Geissele SD-E and a BAD-ASS-ST in a Noveske Gen 2 lower. |

If you have a spare FCG use it and see if you have the same issues...if you have the same issues then it have
the hammer/trigger holes out of spec. on your lower (although this is rather unlikely)...It is more likely that the engagement surfaces are a little to long on one or both area's of you FCG parts... |

It's a pretty east fix. Seekins lowers have a screw to take the slack of triggers in them. Here's the inside shot of it- http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn38/rccox/null-9.jpg Outside shot- small Allen screw next to grip screw hole http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn38/rccox/null-10.jpg Back the screw out and your problem will be fixed. Totally forgot about the adjustment screws... |

Wouldn't that screw limit the take-up and not the over-travel? I could see that screw causing the hammer to never engage the sear rather than never disengaging (firing). I've never used a Seekins lower, so I'm just guessing based on the adjustments on my JP Enterprises triggers. |

I've never used a Seekins lower, so I'm just guessing based on the adjustments on my JP Enterprises triggers. If the screw is ran too far in it will prevent the trigger from being pulled. I guess to be more technical if the screw is screwed in too far it causes the rear of the trigger to tilt up and will not let the disconnector release. Not the best pic but I have a Seekins lower on my bench and I simulated running the screw too far in-

It is much like the adjustments on the JP. If tilting the trigger bar forward causes the disconnector to engage before the sear disengages, then I can see how OP's symptoms would happen. |

What is the set screw on the left of the pistol grip boss and to the rear of the selector detent / spring hole for ? |
