I just finished putting together a kit from Model 1 Sales. I used a DPMS lower. I had to grind a small portion of rear trigger behind the small spring to be able to insert the safety selector. I described this problem in "build it yourself" form. Now everything seems to work ok, but the trigger has a gritty feel to it. It feels like it has sand in it. I lubed it and connector and hammer before installing. Is this normal or should some other surface be buffed some. This is the first AR trigger I've used so I am not sure what It is supposed to feel like. Thanks for any input. |

Also, before you start to adjust/polish, check out the parts for burs. On the pin opening in the parts (not the receiver), I will use a steel counter sink and clean up the beginning of the passages. This prevents the pins from binding on a bur, instead of gliding on the passage walls. The most important thing to remember is all the bearing surfaces have been cased hardened. What you are trying to do is polish the surface/case hardening, and not remove it. |
