Technical trigger question for Bert

[ray1970]

Ok.

I picked up an ALG Combat Trigger today. It appears to be just a stock AR trigger assembly with a little polishing and some sort of slippery coating on it. The kit consisted of a trigger, a hammer, a disconnector, and the pins and springs for these parts.

Anyhow, I installed the trigger and was a bit surprised by how harsh the reset is when the hammer comes off the disconnector and engages the trigger. It almost feels like the trigger "slaps" your finger. And it is noisy too.

I tried installing it in two different lowers and tried the pins that it came with as well as some KNS anti-rotation pins. The results were the same no matter which lower I put it in or which pins I used.

Is this normal? I've never had an AR trigger act this way.

Thanks.

How does the pull / crispness of it feel otherwise? I have almost pulled the trigger on this exact same one

Disconnector needs to be timed.

Not too shabby. But not really any better than my Daniel Defense triggers. In fact, my original plan was to put this in one of my "fancier" rifles and put the trigger from that rifle into my current "low budget" build. I ended up putting the trigger I had back into it instead and threw this one into the "low budget" rifle.

My opinion is if you have a rifle (like maybe a DPMS) with a crappy, creepy, gritty pull then this is probably a nice upgrade. If you already have a short, clean, crisp trigger pull then you are probably just wasting your hard earned money.

That was my guess.

When do you want it?

Call me tomorrow Ray.

But if there's orange stuff on it...............

Not asking for secrets but how does one go about timing a disconnector spring?

You can get a nasty trigger slap if you don't have the Safety Selector Lever in place.

I just mention that because I chased that problem for a while one time.

Have a good day.

Thanks for the tip. The safety selector was installed.

It's not the spring that needs adjustment. It's the fit of the actual disconnector.

Without doing any research, my guess would be it is as simple as removing some material from the bottom front part of it to increase the amount of time it is engaged with the hammer before releasing it onto the trigger.
