Recently completed my first budget build.  I used a complete upper (Hardened Arms) and assembled the lower.  When firing, the trigger occasionally seems to not reset...sometimes I had to slightly push forward on trigger to reset it for next shot.
I used an inexpensive PSA PTAC lower build kit.  
I only have 20 rounds thru this.  Do you thing this just needs shot and broke in?  Or is there something I should adjust on the trigger assembly?

No. It should work flawlessly from the git go.

Sure you have trigger and hammer springs on correctly? And correctly placed into bottom of receiver?  Did you use correct spring in disconnector? And assuming so, it's not upside down? And larger end is well seated in the cutout in bottom?

And selector (safety/fire) works correctly?

See if the sear cleft may be fouled.

Double check your trigger group.

The trigger spring was installed incorrectly...rookie mistake.
Fires great now and trigger functions as it should.
Thanks for the help!
