[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 489848, member: 376"] The most common problems people encounter stem from the trigger being set down at the ragged edge - whether from the factory (why?!?) or via their own efforts. After that, when they try slapping the bolt handle down - not sure *** they think that accomplishes - the sear trips and the Accutrigger locks up. No need for that nonsense... I guarantee I can operate the bolt faster and more smoothly *not* doing that than you can slamming it up and back and forward and down. Greasin' the dang bolt helps a *lot*. The other thing... that grip that comes on the gun may look tacticool, but is way too small for proper hand placement and positioning of your trigger finger. It's too easy to put your finger *thru* the trigger guard and not just the pad of the tip of your trigger finger on the trigger shoe. As mentioned, that leads to pushing the trigger sideways to some degree, not straight back. I've spent a *lot* of time behind these triggers, and this amounts to the same complaints that we were hearing 3 & 4 years ago. There *are* times when the mechanism may need repair or replacement, but those times are vanishingly rare. If you sent it back to the factory and they function tested it and pronounced it sound... please be sure you aren't doing either of the things I mentioned above, and try turning the weight up a bit, even if it isn't quite as light as you'd like it initially. Get it safe and reliable first, then worry about getting it lighter or replacing it with an aftermarket trigger. YMMV, Monte [/QUOTE]
