I'm saying before you go drop a bunch of money on a new fcg check the disconnect spring!

CDNN had them for $99.99 so I grabbed one.

And I'm saying a 3 pound doctored factory single stage trigger that doesn't work right is the BEST thing to ever happen, so that it gets junked and replaced. Not fixed. It'll keep doing it over and over again eventually. Not something I want in one of my guns. YMMV.

For a single unit thats nto a bad price. I bet I could figure out how to make it into a 3 or 3.5 pound trigger with a bit of looking... but you need 4.5 or more to pass weight... I think you got a decent price for sure.

I got another one from Trigger Tech coming that I'm going to put in my other Colt. We'll see how it do.

A gunsmith friend of mine back in Dickinson ND, said he used to install light triggers. PIA he said, guys would bring them back after double taps and triples. He said they get out of adjustment.

He said on Gunbroker there are triggers made in AZ. Velocity triggers. They are modular just like the Ruger.

Anyway Serenity Arms left me a message today. He said he would pick it up and fix it.

I would NOT let him "fix" it, it will happen again.

I'd make him replace it with something reliable.

Just IMHO.

Heck buy a RRA Varmint, and I'll put it in, its not rocket science. But it is 2 stage

Just got of the phone. He will replace it with an better trigger.

Good news.

Got one in a carbine I have. If you're a single stage guy, I think they're a good option. Quick and easy to install and so far after a couple thousand rounds, no burps.

I'm going to put another one in my current build.

Do not return to the range with that thing until you get it fixed. At least twice I've read of guys who got in dutch with the feds because their guns did exactly what yours did. Even though both were genuine malfunctions caused by mechanical failures, not garage tinkering, the feds came down hard on the owners. Even if you don't end up in the pokey, you probably will lose the rifle, and spend money on lawyers, if they get involved.

I understand that is a problem with ALL light single stage AR triggers, even the cartridges.

If you want an install and forget about it trigger, get a 2 stage.

How do you guys eliminate the primers from being the problem without asking how they are loaded. Maybe a dumb question or a simple answer that I haven't thought out.

How could the primers be a problem?

I have 6 TIMNEY 3lb triggers and never had a single problem.

Yeah but the timneys I've pulled had enough creep in them to make them safe....

If it were primers, don't ya think the whole mag would have emptied out?

I've seen probably who knows how many millions of AR rounds fired... literally, lots of matches... and I"ve seen 2 slam fires that might have been primer related.

Mind you I don't use federal or WW primers for the AR, but even then this is a trigger issue. Not a primer issue, 99% sure of that.

None of mine have creep either if they did I wouldn't use them.

Send one this way, I"ve never felt a timney without creep. If I did, I'd have bought some.

But i'm pretty picky now... I mean I can feel creep otehrs can't... probably due to hundreds of thousands of competition AR rounds downrange....

Well, I think.

And then my brain tells me that primers weren't the problem.
