So I took the wife to a range today. We shot revolvers, in which my Servic Six trigger locked up.


But anyway I went to shoot my AR's. The Colt a4 worked great, nothing serious just shot a few rounds at 50 yards.

I got out my Serenity Arms Texas Patriot rifle. Load 5 rounds. 1,2,3, then burped out the last 2. I thought what the hell. Loaded 2 rounds, they singled just fine. Loaded 5 rounds. 1,2, the burped out the last 3.

Now this rifle came with a 3 to 3.5 trigger installed..

What do y'all think could be the problem?

Could be bad disconnector or disconnector spring installed incorrectly or the whole trigger assembly.

WHAT trigger? Thats very typical of someone that thinks they can take a stock trigger and tune it with some polishing and a set screw or so.... eventually they all go the burp route...

Getting a SAFE 3 pound single stage trigger without a drop in unit or going 2 stage just ain't going to happen on the AR.

I"d call them, and see whats in it.

Your reason is exactly why, on the cheap, the ONLY way to get to a 3 ish pound trigger is run RRA Varmint 2 stage.. you WILL learn how to deal with the 2 stage part.

We've shot them off and on so many years, its like driving a stick... you don't even think about it...

A complete trigger replacement and I bet your problem goes away. If you or a friend has a spare change it out and test.

Otherwise troubleshooting your unit may be cheaper than buying another trigger.

Check to see that the disconnector spring is installed large end down. If not correct and test.

Second if spring was correctly installed, replace disconnector with another of known value and test.

Last option is complete replacement of whole trigger unit.

I agree with what ROST said above.

Sorry for the cut to the chase response but a 3lb trigger is the problem. Unless it's a canister trigger or a 2 stage which I'm sure you'd of said, it's going to need replacing. Way too many things can be done that can't be undone to try and diagnose over the internet.

Buy a good 2 stage trigger of your choice and move on.

bump fire, replace the trigger with a LaRue or Geissele 2 stage.

If they're not willing to advertise exactly what parts they use and exactly what those parts are made of I don't even consider it.

So you are good with a 3 pound single stage "factory" trigger that's been tuned in an AR15?

I will look into that. La Rue might be an option, they're like 5 miles from the house.

La Rue won't be cheap? RRA varmints were under 100 some time back... Don't let me be too much of an influence.

Though I still would like to catch them at 62 each like they were

Just looked, they need to do that one in 3 or 3.5 in a drop in, single unit, and drop the price to around 100 bucks or so( I only looked at price at Rugers site...)
