Has anyone else had their Rock River National Match trigger go from a crisp two stage to a numb one stage with a long pull? Mine did after less than 1000 rounds.

Contact Rock River and they will make it right.

Happened to a friend of mine.  Apparently the FCG was VERY dirty and was most (if not all) of the problem.  He sent the trigger back to RRA and they made it right.



BTW, welcome to the site!

I have sent the trigger back to RRA. I just did'nt know if this was something I had to look forward to happening again or not.

I have put a mil-spec trigger in for now, so I have a rifle that works until I get the match trigger back.

What do you mean by the FCG was dirty? what is an FCG? and how would it get dirty?

Thanks for the welcome. It's nice to be an owner of the best rifle ever made.

Sorry, FCG = Fire Control Group.  Basically I meant my friend was shooting some very dirty stuff and the trigger components got caked up with the stuff.

I have a couple RRA NM triggers and have thousands of rounds through those rifles without any trigger failures.  Come to think of it, I use my M4-2000 silencer on both weapons frequently.  A silencer will throw a lot of extra crap back in the receiver.  Things get VERY dirty VERY quickly and I've had not trigger problems at all.  I clean the rifles pretty thoroughly and always inspect the FCG during the cleaning process.

I'm not saying your problem was that the trigger was filthy dirty, just that was the case with my friend's RRA trigger.

Cool, I really don't think my failure was dirt, because I keep my guns very clean and I did take the trigger out and blasted it with the Break Free powder blast solvent. Then i reinstalled it and it was still F'd up. I think RRA will probably just send me a new trigger. I hope.

So your triggers have been totally reliable?
I have heard that the RRA match trigger is the only two stage used by tactical teams, and the only one allowed in certain competitions.

I guess I will put it back in instead of selling it like I was going to do when I got it back.

It was a beautiful trigger pull.

Correct, I've had no problems.  I think they are nice triggers.  I'd bet RRA will send you a brand new trigger.

Yeah RRA has been a terrific company to deal with and not to sound biased but I had the money to buy any rifle I wanted, even a Springfield M1A with the wicked Sage battle stock and I went with the RRA tactical Entry. I think they are the best rifles out there.

I just got my trigger from RRA back today. They just sent me a whole new one. I hope this one proves to be more reliable > maybe I will just sell it and stick with the milspec.

Mine has been totally reliable as well.

The break in for mine was double tap through about 350 rounds at a 3 gun match.

Thanks for the update.  Always good to have the follow up info.

Something wore out on the trigger (sear/disconnector surfaces). There's a way to "fix" it by filing the disconnector at a certain spot, but as others have said, send it back to RRA for a replacement. I think they have some issues with material choice/hardening.

I was wrong. They did not send me a new one they just fixed the old one. They just cleaned it real good and it made the marks I put on it hard to see. There is a mark on the back of the disconnector and the only explanation I could get from them was that they have ways to adjust them. It does work fine now. I have put about 300 rounds through it and still fine.
