Hi,
I read through a few pages in this section and didn't see anything that directly addressed my question so here goes: Background: New LWRC M6A2 and an AR Gold trigger replacing the stock trigger. Installation went smoothly but the function checks fail in this way –– the trigger pull is uneven (sometimes very heavy) and when I manually capture the hammer on the interceptor the trigger release is very light instead of being very heavy as they advvertise. Traded emails with a rep from the firm and am awaiting a call as I write. I pulled out the safety and the trigger functions as advertised. The rep from the company suspects that the safety may be a thousandth or two high in the flat area and that the trigger is intermittently hanging on it. My question: I hate to mess with the safety. Am I being paranoid about trying to stone or file it down? I'd like to keep it as is and store it with the stock fire control system should I ever pop that back in. I was skimming through the giant Brownell's catalog that came last night and noticed as number of safeties that were "adjustable" as well as some good basic safeties I could buy and then see if they fit fine or, if not, I could work with. Any thoughts on a ambi safety since I have to change it anyway? Know two guys that just dropped these triggers into an LWRC with no problems, but I guess I had to have my project turn into a PITA. Would appreciate any thoughts on the proper course of action. I'm already tempted to just pop the old (but still new) trigger back in but really like the feel of the AR Gold when it's operating as designed. |

Pull the selector and test fire the trigger, If smooth as butter, then you know that it's the selector that is the problem.
From there, find out where the trigger is handing up on the selector, and remove material from the selector. Also, having a tad amount of over trigger over travel after hammer release is not a bad thing (as long as the selector is locking up the trigger solid at safe), so if you have to raise the U slot in the selector to get such, so be it. It's when you have a ton of trigger movement with the selector set on safe that you don't want to raise/deepen the U slot in the selector. |

My question is would an aftermarket safety likely solve the problem? Unsure about filing down a safety and don't mind buying a new one to eliminate the problem or at least filing down one that wasn't already fitted to the stock FCU should I want to go back to square one, stock condition. |
