SGL21 trigger problem

[yz9890]

One side of the trigger spring in my Arsenal SGL has jumped the back of the trigger 5 times now. It wedges under the trigger and jams it back. Any thoughts? I've got a new spring on the way so I can see if it was the problem but it looks fine. Maybe the bends are too far to the rear allowing it to snap over the rear trigger bars. Maybe a Texas or Geissele AK trigger the future for this rifle. Frustrating.

The rear part of the leg needs to be bent back towards the hammer . This is how the l/ side is [ r ] over the trigger. The right needs to be bent to match the left. BUT....since it's a coil wound that may be a stop gap. Once the new spring arrives you'll see the difference.

After I pull the selector and dig out the spring, it looks the same as the other side. It's just jammed in that position in the photo. I did wonder if it's been deformed or damaged to the point where it bounces off the trigger when it cycles.

I've had this issue many times, culprit is a worn out hammer spring.
APEX has them fairly cheap

Me too. bounces during recoil. Fixed now

It is annoying though.. trigger no reset

The spring I ordered is a single wire spring rather than a braided spring. Does that matter? Weaker, stronger, more/less durable etc?

Normaly they are braided. Where did you get the spring from?
Try it if it works it works. But I allways use the standard springs, never used a single strand before,

Picture ?? who is the mfg?

[yz9890]

Not sure who the mfg. Bought from Apex. Braided was out of stock except for used "pull offs". Didn't think much about it until after the fact. Cheap though. I can certainly keep looking. A few other places were out of stock on braided springs also. K-Var has them but they don't say if they're new or used. Waiting on response to that question from them.

Give it a try. worse case scenario, it doesn't work. Looks like it's by JTE
