At least you were able to spend more in ammo than you did on the trigger..?
Any hiccups before failure? |

Gonna post what happened? View Quote The fucking triggers get big dents where they strike the firing pin. Breakage is a matter of time, IMO. They're made out of castings. |

Post implies, but does not explain, some sort of trigger failure. Possibly due to OP's amateurish disassembly attempt? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Hammer broke. Almost 100%. The Fostech Echo trigger is possibly the cheapest made expensive thing I can think of. The fucking triggers get big dents where they strike the firing pin. Breakage is a matter of time, IMO. They're made out of castings. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Have you contacted Fostech for a replacement?
Im gonna be pissed if they dont stand by it. I havent even gotten around to installing my gen 1 preorder on anything, but if its gonna break and they aren't gonna fix it... |

PCC's will eat a lot of nice single stage triggers. They produce something like 20% more g's cycling than a gas gun. This result is not surprising.
That was what I was told by a Timney engineer when my PCC's trigger shit the bed at a match. Heard similar stories from others. Went to a 2 stage. |

Is it because they are blowback? Or is it something else? View Quote So not only is there a violent recoil force, there's a violent counter recoil force too. I was somewhat shocked the first time I shot one. |

Had an issue with mine last week also on my belt bed after about 1k rounds. It was really weird, it locked up. Hammer wouldn’t fall. Trigger was locked. Kept playing with it and somehow freed itself and started working again.
Didn’t fire it again cause I was dark and scared it wasn’t actually fixed. Wanted to look at it more closely once i got home. Seems good to go |

Well if you read the title it was 3k rounds over 5 days. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

If you get a chance, pics of the broken piece next to the part it came off of would be really nice.

I want to hear more about the baffle strike. What suppressor, and are there any photos?

In for Fostech response...
...also shocked that other people are putting these things in SIG MPXs which are known to be harder on triggers than typical AR9 like OP describes! |
|
I’d like to see what the hammer face looks like after 5k in an AR9. Interested to see what the failure was also. Had a little over 3k 5.56 on mine before I sold it. Hammer face was a bit dented but still ran great. Will most likely buy another come spring.

How do you keep direct threads from walking off? Do you just have to keep an eye on it or can you use Rocksett?
Edit: I didn’t see the above post |

Yes. And due to that have a huge amount more reciprocating mass in the system. So not only is there a violent recoil force, there's a violent counter recoil force too. I was somewhat shocked the first time I shot one. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Trigger pooped total round count is about 5-6k Magpul sights poped off Its fun, especially with a can and subsonics. ETS mags work perfectly. Going to get w tri-lug and another biniary- franklin armory. Shooting without a can is pretty fun. |

are you missing pieces? I have no idea what the item in the pic is that you say is the broken piece. maybe it just disassembled itself? the trigger explodes into little pieces if you accidentally pull the trigger before the pack is secured into the control pocket (did it a few times myself) so i got a good look at all the parts inside when i had to reassemble everything. I don't recall a flat piece like that. more pics of all the parts you have?
