The trigger on my SGL21-71 is not resetting on most shots fired. I have to flick the trigger forward as it is getting caught up and not resetting properly. It usually does not do this while dry firing, but it is very common and frustrating when shooting.
I just thought I'd post and see if anyone has any guidance before I call Arsenal tomorrow. By the way, what kind of trigger do they put in these, a Tapco? Thanks. |
Was this a brand new bought Arsenal?

Take off top cover and check that the shepards crooks are on both sides of the trigger. I had that problem and that was the cure. Do you mean the spring arms? I was going to post this but I'm assuming that's what you're referring to. If this isn't it I would lightly dress the underside of the disco hook and the mating surface of the hammer with a fine India stone . I little roughness here can cause the disco to hang on the hammer enough to keep it from slipping off when releasing the trigger. With the cover off you'll see what I mean. |

My guess is that it is the hammer spring arms aren't properly over the trigger |

While a well oiled trigger may feel nicer, if it doesn't function correctly when bone dry then it is a major defect that needs correcting - and "oil it" doesn't fix anything, it only masks the symptoms.
If the R arm of the spring hasn't been swept off the trigger by the selector lever, then the "beak" of the disconnector has an overhang, or the rear surface of the hammer on which the disconnector grabs, is rough, or too flat. It should have a very slight downward (toward rear) angle to it. hone underside of disconnector beak to match angle of hammer. Same on hammer. disconnector should snap release "click" even with no oil |
