OK I just assembled a AR for my Dad, and had a question on the trigger.
All the others I have assembled have had a certain amount of play or take up in the trigger. This one does not , it is solid, very little movement before it breaks. It acts more like a 1911 trigger.
It works fine, no problems there. But was wondering is this still normal or is there something I need to look at?? I know it may sound stupid but I wanted to double check to make sure this isn’t a sign of a problem to be.
Are all of the triggers you have installed single stage, mil-spec triggers? Or were the previous ones two-stage triggers? All of my single stage triggers, Colt,BCM, and ALG QMS, have no take-up. Just a tiny bit of creep and then they break. Can you give us the brand names of the triggers that were installed?
To me your latest install is normal. Your previous ones, not normal. How much take-up was there before the trigger broke? My DD LPK trigger had almost 1/8" of creep, not take-up, before the sear released. Changed out to an ALG QMS, and all is much better.
