I am happy with the lower it didn't have the "dremel" marks on it other than the trigger/sear/disconnect problem...
Ok so call me a fool if you want but I hate waiting for other people.. I knew what the issue is with this trigger set up. the disconnect was disconnecting too soon and the sear didn't have time to engage. so looking at the trigger i saw how the disconnect couldn't come forward enough to hold on to the hammer until the sear was able to engage. so i looked closer and there was too much material on the top of the trigger where the disconnect front rests. causing the disconnect to be released too soon when you begin to let off the trigger. I decided to fix the problem myself since the replacement parts are cheap if i f**ked up
. and as i mention earlier i hate waiting for other people. i slowly removed material from the high spot on the trigger (top of trigger sear?) just the part where the disconnect tip or front rests and tested removed a little more tested until it worked correctly. while i was in there the sear surfaces were very gritty so i whipped out the old "dremel" and put on me polishing wheel and smoothed up the 2 surfaces. reassemble function check 100% the trigger has smoothed considerably and though still over 8 lbs rough guess as i can hang the rifle by the trigger and it wont set off the trigger a bit of a jolt and it goes i need a trigger scale. when the trigger resets it fully seats the sear and has positive engagement. I never altered the sear faces other than the polish so nothing there is affected only the disconnect now sits forward enough to hold on a little bit longer allowing safe function of the rifle.
wondering about the springs and whether or not they are the source of the still somewhat heavy (though smoother) trigger which now functions flawlessly everything is working as it should still haven't checked the barrel nut or gas block. I should before i fire it just to be sure..
I don't want to and I didn't want to be "the guy" who had a bad review of a brand new rifle my first AR but this is poor QA. I would like them to replace the upper if these kind of "dremel" marks are not what should be expected. New is new and it is obvious now that i got a lemon. I know posting this they will likely want to take the easy way out and void my warranty.i hope they can understand that i didn't want to have to do any work on a brand new rifle that i have already waited long enough for. just to send it away again and possibly to do another transfer etc etc.. i don't see how this rifle made it through QA it had 3 casings and poker chip so it was supposedly test fired yet I could not bring the charging handle to the rear (and no i was not pulling down on it not that it should matter) this is my first AR but I have only been around guns a year learned first on an sks and a cz 858 and how these mechanisms work. i learn all there is to know before i buy a rifle. and take it apart to see what makes it tick and improvements made etc.
wow i wrote a novel ...
in closing,
i have no hate here this is not me trying to "flame" anyone i had this experience and i am letting my fellow cgners know what happened.
also i will post pics of the polish job it turned out very nice.
