Function check before tuning. Before making any adjustments, perform a basic function check to ensure the trigger operates correctly. This includes verifying that the selector moves smoothly between modes and that the trigger resets properly.
Fine-Tuning the Trigger
Optimizing the reset speed. The reset speed is crucial for rapid precise firing. To adjust the reset speed, locate the tension spring and plunger assembly. Adjust the tension by turning the screw connected to the spring. Increase the tension for a quicker reset or decrease it for a slower reset. Again, make incremental adjustments and test the trigger after each change 1 full turn at a time.
Ensuring smooth and precise operation. As you adjust the pull weight and reset speed, ensure that the trigger operates smoothly without any grittiness or excessive resistance. Lubricate the trigger components if necessary to enhance smoothness.
Advanced Tuning Tips
Balancing precision and reset speed. Finding the perfect balance between precision and reset speed is key to optimal performance. Experiment with different settings to achieve a combination that feels comfortable and enhances your shooting accuracy in 1/4 inch increments.
Testing in various firing modes. Test the trigger in all three modes—safe, semi-auto, and the third mode. Ensure that each mode functions correctly and that the transitions between modes are smooth and reliable.
Using blue Loctite for stability. Once you are satisfied with the adjustments, apply a drop of blue Loctite to the set screws to prevent them from backing out during use. This ensures that your settings remain stable over time. Lastly, make sure you let it dry before firing.
Final Inspection and Safety Check
Thoroughly inspect all components. After tuning the trigger, perform a thorough inspection of all components. Ensure that everything is securely in place and that there are no loose parts.
Conduct a final safety check. Before using the firearm, conduct a final safety check to verify that the trigger and safety mechanisms are functioning properly. This includes testing the safety selector and ensuring that the firearm is safe to operate.
