Last night i was working on my most recent build. This is kind of a combination of components that i wanted to try, but havn't yet used on other builds. I was installing ALG Defense Combat Trigger (ACT) into an Aero PRecision stripped lower with a BAD A.S.S. ambi safety selector. After installing the trigger and hammer, i cocked the hammer and tried to insert the safety selector from the left side of the reciever. It slid through the first wall fine, but would not line up with the opposite hole. After some time inspecting it, it appeared as though the tail on the trigger was pushing up on the larger diameter part of the safety just a bit to prevent it from going into the second hole. What i ended up doing was remove the hammer, which allowed me to rock the trigger back farther, then was able to install the safety, then the hammer afterwards. After it was assembled it seems to function fine and passed all functional checks. I think either the safety selector hole on the reciever is a few thousands lower then it should be, or the tail on the trigger is a little thicker then it should be.
Has anyone had this problem? Is there any problem with how i ended up installing this, or problem that may develop in the future? Thanks for the help, and sorry for the long write up. |

I had a similar problem when installing the BADASS. My lower was already assembled, and the instructions say to just remove and replace the selector without removing the trigger group. I tried multiple times without success. I spent 5 mins removing the trigger group, installed the selector, and popped everything back in.
Maybe you don't have to take the trigger out with some guns, but mine had to. It's not particularly difficult, so no complaints here. |

No, that is not correct. The trigger gets installed first because it is below the safety in the reciever. Quoted:

I think you have to install the safety before you install any parts of the trigger. No, that is not correct. The trigger gets installed first because it is below the safety in the reciever. The trigger can in fact be installed after the selector if so desired. |

I've installed a 90* BAD-ASS in my LWRC M6A2 and a 45* BAD-CASS in my AX556 build. Both times they were installed with the FCG already in. No problems here.
Can't give info on why yours didn't just go right in. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents that it should've gone right in with the FCG already installed. |
| I just ran into this with a couple guys. The tail of the trigger normally measures .310-.315 thick. They just had some that were .330 thick. If the fire control pocket is on the minimum depth dimension 1.240, it all stacks up against you. In their case, I just put the selector in before installing the trigger pin. They worked fine.

| i don't think it was an issue with the BAD-ASS safety selector because i tried a mil-spec safety and was having the same issue with it. It is a little more awkward to install, but installing the safety before the hammer did the trick and in the long run wasn't that big of deal. i was more concerned if this could lead to other issues down the road, but from the comments it seems as though its not a problem. |

It doesn't matter one bit whether you install the trigger and hammer first and then the selector or selector first, then the FCG. Consider how many people replace hammers and triggers without removing the selector and all the parts associated? Build guides are just that, guides, not set in stone. I always install the trigger & hammer after the selector, because some can be a pain. Avoid the pain. |
